The Sleep and Skincare Benefits of a Silk Eye Mask
Sleeping with a silk eye mask might make you feel like Holly Golightly, but it’s more than just a fashion accessory. A silk sleep eye mask can help you get a better night’s sleep, improve dry eyes, and keep your skin happy. The Comfylids eye mask is a one-of-a-kind therapeutic heating eye mask that you can use throughout the day or as part of your night-time routine.
Our new heated eye mask in silk is an everyday luxury that guarantees a good night’s sleep and supports your nightly skincare routine. Available in four colours, it takes only a few minutes to heat up using our 100% safe infrared technology.
How Silk Eye Masks Help You Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Wearing a sleep mask helps you fall asleep by blocking out light, helping to boost your body’s melatonin level for better sleep. The gentle pressure it applies feels like a hug to your face, having a calming effect and releasing serotonin, the sleep-regulating chemical.
You can incorporate this silk sleep mask into your night-time routine a few times a week to help improve sleep. Putting down your phone and wearing a silk eye mask removes distractions when you’re trying to sleep, leading to better REM sleep, the deepest stage of sleep, which stimulates the part of the brain responsible for memory and learning.
Spending all day looking at a screen can leave you with dry eyes, which is associated with higher levels of insomnia, reduced sleep, and sleep apnea. Heated eye masks have been found to significantly improve the condition of dry eyes within 30 minutes of use.
The Skincare Benefits of a Silk Sleep Eye Mask
Our silk heated eye mask features the same design as our PRO heated eye mask but is made with silk for sensitive skin as it’s hypoallergenic. If you’re interested in skincare and anti-aging, the silk mask is the key to getting your ‘beauty sleep’.
While we sleep, our eyes rub against our sheets and blankets, causing friction that can damage the skin’s natural protective barrier, leading to inflammation and eventual wrinkles. Wearing a silk eye mask helps your night creams stay on your skin to keep it hydrated and prevent lines.
The pressure of a silk sleep eye mask can prevent puffiness by removing excess fluid around the eye area, reducing dark circles. Silk has natural temperature-regulating properties, allowing your skin to breathe to prevent the build-up of oils that can cause breakouts.
As a natural fibre, silk is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those who suffer from acne or eczema, as it helps the skin breathe and has antibacterial qualities.
How to Wash Your Silk Eye Mask
We recommend washing the removable silk cover by hand after every few uses. Washing a silk eye mask requires gentle care to maintain its delicate fabric and prevent damage. It will also help ward off any unwanted bacteria that the mask may pick up from your skin. This will allow you to get you full benefits of our silk eye mask every time you use it.
