Most people know the value of a good night’s sleep, and we all enjoy the feeling of waking up from a restful slumber feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. But, if you struggle to find that peaceful, uninterrupted night’s sleep that you’re yearning for, the benefits of a silk eye mask may be your solution.
What are Silk Eye Masks?
If you don’t know already, silk eye masks are those small masks that fit snuggly over your eyes, made of the luxurious fabric, silk. They block out light and have a comfortable elastic band that stretches around your head to keep it on, and are used to help people sleep better.

What are the Benefits?
There is a whole host of reasons why a silk eye mask is beneficial, so here are a few of the reasons why they are a worthwhile investment.
Moisturising Your Eyes
Silk eye masks are not like ordinary eye masks. The silk material has natural moisturising properties, making them the perfect material for around your eyes. The tightly-woven fabric keeps moisture close to the skin and stops it from drying out overnight. So, if you spend a whole night sleeping with one on your face, in the morning you should see that the skin around your eyes feels soft and refreshed.
If you continue to keep your eyes moisturised during the night, it can help to reduce dark circles and assist in slowing down the ageing process. It is a very easy way to keep your eyes and the surrounding skin looking its best.
Gentle on the Skin
The skin around your eyes is very delicate. It is thin and fragile, so making sure it isn’t being tugged or irritated by a harsh material is essential. Silk is super soft and will not irritate the skin and won’t leave creases or marks that can be caused by wearing other kinds of silk eye mask. So, if you plan on using an eye mask, silk is the best material to use.
Silk eye masks are also brilliant for those who suffer from sensitive skin or even those with more serious skin conditions such as eczema. The gentle material soothes the skin and will not irritate skin conditions.
Blocking the Light
With the benefits of silk aside, an eye mask is perfect for times when you need to block out the light. Whether the sun comes in easily through your curtains, or you work night shifts, eye masks are the perfect way for you to get an undisturbed sleep without light waking you up.
Silk eye masks are the perfect accessory to take on a flight too. They will help you sleep on an aeroplane by blocking any lights and soothing you to sleep.
