When it comes to skincare, actress and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow has a short list of essentials to keep her looking radiant and well-rested, especially before a red carpet. The actress recently shared a few of the products she swears by to prep her skin before major events. In a recent Instagram Q&A, Paltrow explained that she consistently reaches for under-eye masks as an event prep staple: “I always use the Jillian Dempsey eye masks and vibrating gold bar,” says Paltrow. “This combo makes a huge difference in de-puffing my skin.”

These cooling patches – currently on sale for £52, down from £75 – smooth fine lines while hydrating your under-eyes, and feature a formula that's infused with ingredients like plumping hyaluronic acid and almond oil for supreme moisture. “Sweet almond oil is rich in vitamin E, monounsaturated fatty acids, proteins, potassium and zinc, as well as several other vitamins and minerals,” New York City-based dermatologist Hadley King told BAZAAR.com. Almond oil also has anti-inflammatory properties so it can be soothing to irritated or inflamed skin."

For the best results, we recommend letting the masks sit for 10 to 15 minutes after applying them for maximum product absorption.
