DIY Hydrogels

Описание: Hydrogels deliver moisture to delicate eye areas in a cool gel base. They’re especially nice to use during facial treatments or anytime your eyes are feeling tired. Simply close your eyes and apply hydrogel to each eye and relax for 5-10 minutes. Try different teas for different effects. Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants and helps boost moisture, chamomile is calming, and peppermint is cool and refreshing!
