A wellness patch is about the easiest habit you can add to your day. There's nothing to swallow, mix or measure: you peel it, press it on and go. But a few small details make the difference between a patch that holds all day and one that starts lifting by lunch. Here's everything you need to know.
The 3-step routine
- Peel one patch from the sheet, touching the sticky side as little as possible.
- Press it onto clean, dry skin and hold it firmly with your palm for about 10 seconds. The warmth of your hand helps the adhesive set.
- Go about your day. Wear it for up to 24 hours, then remove it and apply a fresh one on a different spot.
Where to put it
Choose a spot that's flat, has little to no hair and doesn't bend or rub much during the day. The most popular options are:
- Upper arm (outer side): easy to reach and hidden under a T-shirt.
- Shoulder: completely discreet under any top.
- Hip: a good choice if you wear sleeveless tops.
Rotate between spots from one day to the next. It keeps your skin comfortable and helps every patch stick well.
5 tricks for a patch that stays put
- Apply after your shower, once your skin is completely dry. Even a little moisture weakens the hold.
- Skip lotion, oil and sunscreen on that spot. Moisturize everywhere else if you like.
- Avoid joints and folds like the inside of the elbow, where skin stretches all day.
- Don't stick and re-stick. Place it once and press firmly.
- Make it part of getting dressed. Put it on right before your shirt, every morning, and you'll never forget it.
Quick FAQ
Can I shower or work out with it?
Yes, the patch is designed to stay on through a normal day. If it starts to lift, replace it with a new one.
Can I wear more than one?
No. One patch per day, as directed.
What if my skin gets red?
Remove the patch and stop use. If you have sensitive skin, try your first patch for a few hours and check how your skin feels.
