Throughout our busy day-to-day lives, stressors and environmental pollutants can really take a toll on our skin. That’s why at Muse + Maven we love to pamper our clients and provide the best products so that we can treat our clients to that much-needed self-care when they visit our studio. One of our latest favorites is our gold under-eye patches which can be applied during a lash or brow appointment.
These under-eye patches are amazing for brightening, soothing, and hydrating your delicate under-eye area, to give you a relaxed feeling and refreshed look when you get up from the bed. They also contain excellent antioxidant-rich ingredients to help fight against free radicals, which damage our cells and age our skin. There are five key ingredients that make these under-eye patches so special and effective.
Argireline
Cosmetic injectables like Botox and Dysport can no doubt work wonders for wrinkles and fine lines, but if you aren’t a big fan of needles, this ingredient might be just the thing for you! Argireline is an amazing synthetic peptide that fights wrinkles due to its ability to prevent muscle movement and optimize collagen production. This killer combo provides more hydrated, plump, and smooth skin for your under eyes, making you look doubly energized when you wake up from that lash or brow nap.
Grape Leaf Extract
Grape leaf extract, also known as Vitis Vinifera, is actually a by-product of the wine-making process and is very beneficial for skin health. It helps to protect our skin from sun damage, contains antioxidant properties, and increases cell turnover and collagen synthesis – leading to more youthful, plump, and bright skin.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice root extract has been utilized for a long time in medicine and is actually one of the world’s oldest herbal remedies! It is excellent for gently treating hyperpigmentation and inflammation due to its antioxidant properties and ability to disrupt melanin and free radical production. Since licorice root is so effective at toning and brightening, it’s also a great pregnancy-safe alternative to stronger skincare ingredients like retinol.

colloidal Gold
You might be thinking, “gold, in skincare? What could that possibly do?” Well, when gold is included in skincare, it’s called “colloidal gold” and due to its small particle size, it penetrates deeply and assists with delivering nutrients and oxygen to skin cells. This deep penetration helps with speeding up the healing process and overall cell turnover.
Increased cell turnover means a reduction in signs of aging, reducing things like the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and sagginess due to loss of elasticity. Colloidal gold is also beneficial to the skin due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nature, protecting the skin and helping it heal from environmental stressors like sun damage.
The skin under our eyes is some of the thinnest and most sensitive, so it’s very important and it makes a big difference to give this particular area some gentle love and TLC!
