If you've been burning the candle at both ends, chances are the effects are beginning to show on your skin, especially on the ultra-delicate area around your eyes.

如果你过分地消耗精力，其影响可能会体现在你的皮肤上，特别是在你的眼部周围特别脆弱的部位。

The skin here is much thinner than it is everywhere else and, because it contains fewer oil glands, it is more susceptible to fine lines, puffiness and dark circles.

这里的皮肤比其他部位的皮肤更薄，因为它含有的皮脂腺更少，而且更易产生细纹、浮肿和黑眼圈。

But, with such busy lives, getting eight hours sleep or the visiting a spa is out of the question, and, let’s face it, there’s only so much makeup can conceal.

然而，这么忙碌的生活，八小时的睡眠或是去泡泡温泉都不可能。我们面对现实吧，只有众多的化妆品可以遮掩眼部的这些问题。

The solution? Under-eye masks.

有什么解决方案吗？那就是眼膜。

Under-eye masks typically look like comma-shaped patches and are infused with lightweight but potent serums packed with innovative ingredients like retinol , hyaluronic acid and ceramides designed to plump your skin and bust dark circles.

眼膜通常看上去就像逗号形状的眼罩，它被注入了少量有强效的精华素，而且还含有视黄醇、透明质酸和神经酰胺等创新成分，可以使你的眼部皮肤圆润，还可以淡化黑眼圈。

Every product's application time varies and, while some can be popped on for 20-30 minutes as you go about your business, others should be left on overnight. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon pamper session. For an extra cooling boost, pop yours in the fridge before use.

每种眼膜产品的使用时间都各不相同，虽然一些眼膜可以在你出差的时候贴20~30分钟，但其他眼膜应该整夜敷用。最完美的就是在星期天下午细心地呵护一下你的眼部皮肤。为了使眼膜拥有额外的提神功效，使用之前可以先在冰箱里放一下。

Puffiness, crows feet and dark circles are just some of the traits that our eyes present when they’re feeling a little neglected and, while under-eye masks won’t work miracles, they will help to reduce unwanted traits.

当我们忽视眼部保养的时候，浮肿、鱼尾纹和黑眼圈只是眼部呈现的部分特征，虽然眼膜没有奇效，但它们有助于减少这些不受欢迎的特征。

Using an eye cream will do the job on a day-to-day basis but an eye mask will provide an instant boost of hydration, soothing ingredients and have a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin surrounding your peepers.

每天使用眼霜也是有效果的，但眼膜可以即刻促进补水、舒缓成分的效果，而且对眼周皮肤还有提神抗炎的功效。
