Harth noted the friction of rubbing your skin against a dirty cotton fabric could damage the outer layer of your skin and make your acne worse, so using a silk option can help prevent this issue. And if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin, definitely consider investing in a silk eye mask.

Opt for a silk eye mask, such as the Best Tested Slip Eye Mask and the DROWSEY Silk Sleep Mask.

To ensure your sleep mask fits properly, you don't want it to be too tight, as it can hurt your eyes, or too loose, as it can slip off while you sleep. Not only do everyone’s preferences differ, but everyone’s skulls also have different circumferences. There isn’t one sleep mask that’s good for everyone, even if most are one-size-fits-all. Many types of eye masks have a contoured border or dome-shaped eye holes, so even if you open your eyes just a sliver, you won't catch a glimpse of something illuminated and start to wake up. The best eye masks for sleeping fit closely - but not tightly - to the face and effectively block out your surroundings, like a partner scrolling on their brightly lit smartphone, a hallway nightlight, or streetlights shining into your home. Quite simply, the best eye masks help to block out light and allow your body to better adjust its circadian rhythm, so that you're not roused or awakened by something that lights up in the middle of the night.
They may seem like an add-on (and like, such a Breakfast at Tiffany's-worthy extra step), but the best eye masks can be incredibly beneficial to those who have trouble staying asleep, whether you're shopping for yourself or looking for a gift for a restless soul in your life. Sleep is 100% essential, and one easy and luxurious way to help lull you to sleep with style is by using a brand-new eye mask.
