It also tackled inflammation, dry lines and wrinkles.

Karuna: Renewal Eye Mask

Karuna Renewal Eye Masks use mushroom extract, red seaweed and Japanese angelica to erase puffiness and discoloration around the eyes. Sweet broom extract boosts micro-circulation and a custom-blended plant extract, peptide and anti-oxidant beauty boost gives intense hydration and nourishment. The all-natural fiber cloth masks retain 50 percent more moisture than some synthetic eye masks which help pores fully absorb the beneficial ingredients. Just one use shows results but luckily Karuna Renewal Eye Masks come in packs of four.

Directions: Wash your face to remove makeup and any top layer environmental toxins. Gently unfold cloth mask and place cloth side underneath eyes. Remove backing and relax for 10-20 minutes with mask in place
