Sun exposure, jet lag and allergies can all leave your under eyes feeling tired, puffy and dry, but these hydrating under eye masks are a ‘treat’ that work in 10 minutes
If the recent soaring temperatures have been playing havoc with your beauty routine, you’re not alone. Everything from the increase in heat, to allergies from pollen and hayfever to long distance travel can all leave your skin looking a little worse for wear, especially around your under eyes.
Whether they’re looking a little puffy, have dark circles from jet lag or a busy Bank Holiday weekend or just feel dry and tight from too much sun, an under eye mask can be a saving grace. Beauty fans have been praising the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches as a “heatwave treat” for their eyes, and you can pick up a pack of six for £25 at Cult Beauty righ now.

As your under eyes don’t naturally produce oils and have thinner skin, they’re one of the first areas of skin to feel dry when you’re dehydrated. It’s also usually where fine lines start to spring up due to the lack of natural collagen or plumping, so treatments that hydrate the area are key.
The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches are perfect for this, offering an all-rounder product which hydrates, soothes, plumps and reduces puffiness, leaving your eyes looking and feeling fresher and more awake. They’re infused with niacinamide to refine texture, and jojoba oil and fruit extracts to hydrate and soothe skin, and only need to be used for 10 minutes before you see benefits.
You just apply them to clean, dry skin and leave them for 10 minutes (or longer if you prefer) and they’ll get to work. You can use the Jet Lag Eye Patches in the morning to reduce puffiness for makeup prep, on a flight to get rid of dark circles and hydrate your skin, or at night if you’ve had a long day and need some TLC.
Some shoppers did mention that £25 for six pairs of patches is a little steep, so if you want more for your money ESPA’s Isotonic Hydra Gel Eye Masks are a great alternative. Now on sale for £39.20 down from £49, you get a large tub with 60 pairs of masks in, getting you 10 times the amount of masks for just £15 more.
If you want something you can use on the go no matter where you are, the Eye Balm from REFY is a great alternative. Priced at just £18, it comes in a cooling stick formula that cools, rejuvenates and refreshes your eyes in an instant.
However the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches have been well-praised by beauty fans, with one saying: “I bought these as a little heatwave treat to keep in the fridge. I wouldn’t say I notice a huge difference in undereyes after use, though they are quite hydrating. I don’t really have puffy under eyes or dark circles so I can’t comment on the impact on those, all I know is they feel really fresh and soothing on the skin and are nice for a little pamper night with a bath, or before getting ready. They are quite pricey, but I’d say in line with other eye masks from Patchology etc. They are a bit gimmicky in general but I’d possibly reorder if on offer or for a holiday/getting ready for a special occasion.”
Another wrote: “I love these eye patches, good for on the go and really hydrating. They don’t slip down or shrink. Would buy over and over again.”
Some who weren’t as big of a fan said: “Cannot really notice a difference and gave me a slight sting/burning feeling.”
With another writing: “I bought these for a friend and she said that they left her eyes hydrated. Has seen better results in terms of depuffing with other eye masks But these were decent.”
However others loved the effects of the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches, writing: “I use these in the morning when I first wake up as under my eyes are usually quite puffy. Within 10 mins of using these patches, the puffiness has gone. I will be repurchasing these as they work. Highly recommended.”
Someone else agreed: “Eye masks tend to be really pricey but the cost of these are really good. They reduced my dark circles and make my under eyes look much less puffy. Highly recommend.”
