The best beauty patches to buy now

THE NEW AND BRILLIANT BEAUTY PATCHES WE LOVE NOW

Beauty patches have been around since Roman times. They have been used throughout history to cure imperfections, hide blemishes and pox scars, and also aesthetically to beautify the wearer with a heart or crescent moon, to illustrate a state of mind, romantic attachment, or political view.

Now, they’re high tech, easy-to-use and a completely valid inclusion in our beauty regimes. The best beauty stickers, pimple patches and spot dots are not stuck on with medieval mastic but with a whole host of blemish-fighting, wrinkle remedying, or skin-perfecting ingredients.

Think of them as a supercharged Band-Aid that sticks like a second skin and stops you fussing over that pesky pimple and helps to heal you in double-quick time - check out Patchology and Zitsticka.

There’s also new fragranced patches from French brand Buly 1803 - Scented Stickers offer a breath of fresh air when wearing your covid-safe mask.

And Diptyque Paris Eau Rose Perfumed Stickers for Skin are minimal-looking tattoos that adhere to the body, giving off a blooming fruity-floral aroma of their classic Eau Rose.

Whatever the beauty requirement, there’s a patch to suit you and something you can really get ‘stuck’ into.

​Buly 1803 Scented Stickers for Masks, £11

Attach the sticker to your mask and the therapeutic essential oils of eucalyptus, peppermint, and lemon add instant refreshment.

They take away the claustrophobic need to come up for air every five minutes (you magically forget your wearing a mask at all). And at the same time, they also deliver a lovely scent that diffuses any whiffiness after longtime wear—absolutely genius.
