Silk Eye Mask Benefits for Better Beauty Sleep

You’re probably reading this because you’re considering a silk eye mask or want to make the switch. With all the hype about silk sleep accessories (including eye patches), it’s tempting to be cynical. But there’s a good reason they top many wishlists. We list down silk eye mask benefits to help you cross over to the night side.


Anyone who wears silk can attest to its smooth (and sensuous) texture. Bedding and sleepwear made from this fabric is always in demand. It usually runs pricier, too. If you’re practical, these can come off as frivolous. But being sensible doesn’t mean you don’t care about your skin. And an excellent silk sleep mask means you do.


Beauty Benefits

Do silk eye masks help with wrinkles? Yes.

Those who sleep on their sides or stomach are all too familiar with sleep lines or creases. It takes longer for them to disappear the older you get. (Good luck looking like you didn’t just get out of bed for your first Zoom meeting of the day.) The slippery feel of silk means that it’s less likely to leave these marks. 


Anything that stretches or pulls your skin puts it under duress, especially around the eyes. Ultimately, this causes your skin to lose its natural elasticity. A piece of fabric worn around the eyes, inevitably, does this nightly. Silk’s smooth construction means it causes less friction than most.   


So, does it prevent wrinkles? Bottom line: yes. 

It’s moisturizing and absorbs less product.

These two silk eye mask benefits will knock it out of the park for the skincare-obsessed. First, it won’t suck up your skin’s natural moisture. And if you’ve got dry skin, sleeping with a silk sleep mask is a smart move. Plus, the protein in silk has natural moisturizing properties. Skincare products don’t come cheap. It’s possible a silk eye mask will simplify your beauty regimen.  


Slathering your eye area with an expensive serum only to cover it up isn’t practical. Your mask is sucking it like a vampire that’s come out of a hundred-year hibernation. That is, if it’s made of ordinary fabric. 


Second, a silk eye mask absorbs less, so products stay put on YOU. In fact, silk absorbs moisture less than percale cotton, which is considered a premium fabric for sleep accessories. Better sleep means you produce more of what your skin needs to stay elastic: collagen. 

It’s easy on the mane.

People who are careful with their hair will love these silk eye mask benefits. We mentioned earlier that silk protein has moisturizing properties. Just look at all the top beauty products touting silk as an ingredient, especially for hair care. You might not believe it but silk hair wraps exist! 


Any sleep mask, especially one with proper coverage, wraps around your head. The smooth surface of silk means less frizz and breakage. You’re likely to spend less time the next morning fixing your bed head.


More Benefits of Sleeping with a Silk Eye Mask

A silk eye mask is a durable and long-lasting sleep investment.

Silk lets your skin breath because of its moisture-wicking properties. The fabric is known to dry fast. If you’re sleeping in a hot room, you can rest easy knowing your silk eye mask isn’t going to turn into a sweat rag. This, in turn, means it’s less likely to clog pores, which causes acne.   


Know that a high room or body temperature isn’t going to help you sleep better. You’re likely to wake up during your first two sleep cycles because of the heat. This will prevent you from getting to the deeper sleep stages. A silk eye mask helps, especially if you live in a hot climate and is kinder to problematic skin. More on these silk eye mask benefits in this article: Does a silk eye mask really help sleep.

Breathable fabric helps regulate the temperature around your eyes.

Yeah, we know it’s pretty, but don’t let looks fool you. 


Silk is composed of tightly-woven, long fibers and is a very strong fabric. In fact, a California State Fair study on the textile durability said that “Out of all the fabrics, the natural silk was able to withstand the most pressure, breaking at 177 pounds.” 


Silk is also elastic (No, not as much spandex). It retains its shape longer. There’s a common frustration among sleep-mask wearers. Over time, an ordinary sleep mask starts looking misshapen; the straps lose their elasticity. (We hear it’s the perfect solution to bikini top mishaps at the beach). A silk eye mask stays in shape, prolonging usage. For more nights of uninterrupted sleep, it’s the practical choice.


So, what are the pros and cons of a silk sleep mask? Well, we’ve already spelled out a few silk eye mask benefits, but one con (pay attention) is if you’re allergic to silk proteins. Possible side effects include hives or rashes. Fortunately, silk allergies are pretty rare according to Everyday Health. But if you develop funny-looking, itchy spots on your face after sleeping with a silk eye mask, then stop. Go pay your friendly neighborhood allergist a visit. 


It could also be a question of cleaning your sleep buddy. Attention people of this strange planet, dirt does scary things to your face. It’s pointless to use a mask for its beauty benefits without ridding it of grime. Here’s how to wash silk sleep masks several ways.


We hope these silk eye mask benefits help you make the switch. If you’re a first-time wearer, we can’t think of anything better than a silk eye mask to get you started. Good night. Sleep tight. With a silk eye mask, you probably won’t even feel the bed bugs bite. 

What do silk sleep masks do?

Just like other eye masks, the main function of a silk sleep mask is to block out light, so you get deeper, more restful sleep. 


The main difference? It looks and feels more luxurious. Also, as we said earlier, a silk eye mask has beauty benefits, owing to the lustrous fabric. Let’s summarize:


  • It doesn’t pull or stretch the sensitive skin around your eyes
  • Absorbs less of your skincare products
  • Has natural moisturizing properties
  • Won’t snag or break your hair strands compared to other fabric  


So, what else do silk sleep masks do? Think of it as one way of showing how committed you are to getting better quality sleep. Silk is a premium fabric that doesn’t come cheap. But it’s worth it because it’ll keep its shape and last longer. 


Good silk tends to be more breathable than cotton. If you live in a hot climate, a silk eye mask may be your best option.


Keep in mind though that if you want to reap these benefits, the best silk sleep mask is made from high-quality fabric and blocks out light effectively. Tip: be on the lookout for one that’s made from mulberry silk.



We hope these silk eye mask benefits help you make the switch. If you’re a first-time wearer, we can’t think of anything better than a silk eye mask to get you started. Good night. Sleep tight. With a silk eye mask, you probably won’t even feel the bed bugs bite.
