For the first 2 weeks, use your Blepha EyeBag® twice a day, in the morning and evening, for 5 to 10 minutes each time. After the first 2 weeks, this can be reduced to around 3 to 4 times a week, but you can adjust the frequency of use according to the severity of your symptoms or your healthcare professional’s recommendation.

Before using Blepha EyeBag®:

• Ensure it has no defects • Always remove prescription glasses or contact lenses • Carefully wash your hands, face and eyelids • Remove any makeup

Blepha EyeBag® is suitable for both adults (including if pregnant or breastfeeding) and is suitable for children from the age of 3 years old – parents or carers should handle and warm the product.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Remove Blepha EyeBag® from the box and place it on a clean, dry microwaveable plate. Always check that the dish or plate you use is completely clean since small food residue can become very hot and these “hot spots” might cause small burns in the Blepha EyeBag® material.

Heat your Blepha Eyebag® for 1 minute on full power and leave to cool completely.

FOR ALL FURTHER USES: STEP 1: Place Blepha EyeBag® in a microwave as described above and heat according to the power of your microwave as shown below:

750W and below750W and aboveHeat for 40 secondsHeat for 30 seconds

Caution: if your microwave is greater than 1000W, you may need to reduce the time. Only reheat from room temperature. Further heating a Blepha EyeBag® which is already hot can be dangerous and lead to overheating. Always allow the Blepha EyeBag® to cool fully before reheating.

Make sure you only set your microwave for 30 seconds, and not 30 minutes! Stay by your microwave while it is heating. Do not use the metal griddle supplied with some microwaves, as this may burn your Blepha EyeBag®.

STEP 2: Shake the Blepha EyeBag® to evenly spread the linseeds inside the mask and help the heat spread.

STEP 3: Check that the Blepha EyeBag® is comfortably warm but not too hot before placing it over the closed eyelids. Carefully check the temperature on the grey silk side by pressing Blepha EyeBag® against your wrist. If it is too hot, wait a few minutes and check the temperature again before applying it to the eyes.

STEP 4: When the temperature is comfortably warm, lie back and apply the mask to closed eyes.

Use either side according to your preference. Relax with Blepha EyeBag® in place for 5 to 10 minutes. The black side will be cooler, and you may wish to switch to the silk side during the 10 minutes.

STEP 5: Remove Blepha EyeBag® from your eyes. It is normal to observe skin redness after use due to the warming effect of the mask.

STEP 6: Immediately after warming, massage the closed eyelids to release the oil from the Meibomian glands. Repeat this several times for about 30 seconds.

STEP 7: You can also cleanse your eyelids with an eyelid cleansing product such as Blephasol® or Blephaclean PF® and gently massage them after the use of Blepha EyeBag®.

STEP 8: Always put Blepha EyeBag® back in its box after use to keep it clean, dry, and safe.

The Blepha EyeBag® is a reusable eye mask made of natural materials, containing no plastic.

The Blepha EyeBag® is made of natural silver silk on one side and a thick black 100% cotton fabric (called moleskin because of its texture) on the other. It is filled with untreated flax seeds (linseed), which are used because of their size, shape and density.

These properties allow the Blepha EyeBag® to settle down into position easily and conform well to different face shapes whilst maintaining the right temperature throughout usage. Flax does not give off an unpleasant odour when warmed in the microwave, and no aromatic or herb fragrances are added to the Blepha EyeBag®.
