Let’s dive into why our 100% mulberry silk, weighted eye masks are a must-have travel accessory and how they can help you rest and relax no matter where your adventures take you.

Why You Need a Silk Eye Mask for Specifically As a Traveler:

1. Block Out Light:

• Total Darkness: Our silk eye masks create a pitch-black environment, blocking out light that can disturb your sleep, whether it’s from street lamps, early sunrises, or airplane lights.
• Better Sleep: A darker environment helps signal your body that it’s time to sleep, leading to better rest and more rejuvenated mornings.

2. Reduce Stress and Anxiety:

• Calming Effect: The weighted feature of our eye masks provides gentle pressure, which can help reduce stress and anxiety, making it easier to relax in unfamiliar surroundings.
• Even Weight Distribution: Our eye masks have an inner insert filled with silicone beads, ensuring even weight across the entire mask. The quilted design keeps the beads from shifting, giving you consistent comfort all night long.
