Shoppers are raving about a luxury silk mask that’s transforming the way they sleep – and it’s even been described as ‘a hug to the face’ by the revolutionary brand.
You may have seen the silk mask popping up on your social media feeds recently, with everyone from Sophie Habboo taking it with her on her travels, to Jessica Alba who included it in her ‘summer essentials’ roundup post on Instagram.
Unlike your average sleep mask, the Drowsy features doubling lining and fluffy cloud-like padding to block out even the tiniest ray of sunlight – ideal for those who work night shifts, and rely on sleep during the daytime.
As well as making a huge difference to thousands of people’s sleep quality, the mask has also become a viral beauty sensation, with many claiming it’s helped with their fine lines and wrinkles. As it’s made from 22-momme padded mulberry silk, amino acids in the silk can help reduce ageing, keeping the skin youthful and vibrant.
It’s not just skin either, as the mask wraps around your hair, the smooth surface and natural properties of the silk can help reduce friction on the hair that tends to cause damage and split ends.
With thousands of glowing five-star reviews, we’re not surprised the mask is taking over our Instagram and TikTok feeds with many saying they have ‘the best sleep ever’ and even buying more for their partners, and family members.
One delighted customer said: “My sleep so much better with this lovely eye mask. It’s so soft and comfortable and so dark. No more waking up with the light and no more headache from a tight band. Will never use anything else.”
While a second shopper added: “This mask is everything! It is like a hug around your head, so comfortable and feels so luxurious against the skin. I bought this on the recommendation of a friend who told me about the complete block out of light and it did not disappoint! Expensive, yes, but totally worth it for the great sleep I’ve been having!”
Reach’s very own Affiliate Writer Lauren Codling bought the mask for herself, and said: “The brand describes its silk sleep mask as a ‘hug to the face’ and I have to agree; its thick, cushioned wrap-around feels so comforting come bedtime, while the frictionless Mulberry silk is cool and soothing against my skin. It feels gentle on my hair too, which tends to get tangled in bed. It successfully blocks out light as well, without feeling restrictive, and rarely slips during the night.”
Despite plenty of glowing reviews, it seems not everyone is a fan with some shoppers finding it too heavy, hot to sleep with and pretty pricey. One user said: “The temperature builds to an unbearable degree – this is, after all, a “duvet for your eyes.”
If you want to try out the popular Drowsy Sleep Mask for yourself, you can pick it up in a range of different colours for £69 on Amazon.
