Under Eye Masks For Taking the Edge Off a Mindblowing Migraine
What else could I do but scream internally after walking into the local drugstore and straight to the medicine aisle where literally all of the ibuprofen was out of stock? On the rare occasion that my head is pounding and the day is generally drab, I need reinforcements fast. My mother is essentially a treasure trove of DIY hacks for moments like this, but few are time-efficient. Thankfully, I soon discovered that the best under-eye masks at least take the edge off. And if they’ve been sitting in the fridge—even better.
Or in my case, the teeny makeup fridge that had gone underused (and honestly forgotten) until this very moment. As soon as I removed a pair of masks, put them under my eyes and got back into my couch sprawl, magic ensued. It was almost as if the cooling sensation and muscle tension release around my eyelids distracted from my pulsating temples. (Pro tip: Rub Milk Makeup’s Cooling Water all over your face to enhance the effects even more. It feels like actual heaven on earth.)
The point I’m trying to make is this: under-eye masks are clutch in the most unexpected ways, so keep them on hand. Ahead, my favorite options that feel good and won’t slide awkwardly down your face.
