How to Use EyeOasis Sleeping Tape — A Step-by-Step Guide

EyeOasis Sleeping Tape was created to help people who wake up with dry, irritated, or sandy-feeling eyes — often caused by eyelids that don’t stay fully closed during sleep. With its gentle adhesive and skin-friendly design, this tape comfortably seals your eyelids to preserve natural moisture and prevent overnight evaporation. Follow this simple step-by-step guide to get the best results from your nightly routine.

1. Clean and Dry Your Skin

Before applying, gently wash your face and eyelid area to remove oils, moisturizers, or makeup. A clean surface ensures the tape adheres smoothly without slipping during the night. Pat dry with a soft towel — never rub the eyes directly, especially if you have sensitive skin or recently had an eye procedure.

This step also reduces the risk of bacteria or debris getting trapped under the tape, keeping your skin and eyes healthy.

2. Peel the Tape from the Backing

Carefully peel one strip from the pack. EyeOasis Sleeping Tape is ultra-thin, flexible, and nearly weightless on the skin. Hold it gently between your fingertips to avoid stretching or creasing it.

Pro tip: Keep the strips in a cool, dry place to preserve the adhesive’s quality. Avoid storing them in humid environments like bathrooms.

3. Apply Over Closed Eyelids

With your eyes gently closed, place the tape horizontally across your eyelid crease or slightly above the lashes. Press lightly from the center outward to create a smooth, even seal.

You should feel comfortable — the goal is to keep the eyelids softly sealed, not pressed tightly. If needed, adjust placement to find what feels best for your eye shape.

Benefits include:

1. Preventing gaps from partially open eyelids
2. Protecting against overnight dryness and irritation
3. Supporting natural tear retention while sleeping
4. Reducing redness, morning stickiness, and burning sensations

4. Sleep Comfortably All Night

The adhesive holds gently yet securely — even if you shift positions during the night. Unlike bulky eye masks that can move around or apply uneven pressure, EyeOasis tape stays in place, creating a consistent moisture seal.

Because it’s breathable, you won’t feel trapped or overheated. It’s a subtle, low-profile solution that works quietly while you rest.

5. Remove Gently in the Morning

In the morning, peel the tape slowly from one side outward. The adhesive is designed to release cleanly without tugging or leaving residue. You’ll notice your eyes feel more hydrated and comfortable — free from that gritty, sandy sensation that comes from dryness.

If your eyelids feel slightly tacky, rinse with warm water and pat dry. Regular use each night helps train the eyelids to stay closed naturally over time.
