Why is darkness so important for a good night's sleep?
Darkness helps support your body's natural production of melatonin, which plays a role in regulating your body clock and helping you sleep. This eye mask is designed to block out light, creating a darker environment for a more restful night.
What makes mulberry silk special for an eye mask?
Mulberry silk is exceptionally smooth, soft and naturally temperature-regulating. This eye mask is made from 19-momme 100% pure Mulberry silk, giving it a cool, luxurious feel that's gentle around the delicate eye area.
Is silk good for the skin around the eyes?
Yes. Silk has an incredibly smooth surface, so it creates very little friction against the delicate skin around your eyes. It is also naturally hydrophobic, meaning it doesn't draw moisture away from your skin in the same way as some other fibres, helping skin retain its natural hydration.
How does this eye mask help reduce fabric waste?
This eye mask is made using offcuts left over from the production of our pure silk bed linen, giving this beautiful fabric another use rather than discarding it.
How do I care for a silk eye mask?
Hand wash your eye mask regularly using a silk-specific detergent. Gently press out excess moisture between two layers of a folded towel, then leave it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry or use biological detergents, bleach, stain removers or optical brighteners.
Will the elastic band stay in place without pulling on my hair?
The headband is gently elasticated and covered in the same pure mulberry silk as the rest of the mask, so it is smooth, soft and comfortable against your hair and skin. It is designed to keep the mask securely in place while you sleep without creating any pressure or discomfort on your scalp.
How long will a silk eye mask last?
With proper care, a silk eye mask is surprisingly durable despite its delicate appearance. Following the care instructions and washing your face before bed to remove skin products will significantly extend its life. It comes with a two-year guarantee, giving you confidence in the quality from the very first night.
