ALASKA BEAR Alaska Bear Mulberry Silk Sleep Mask Luxury Cool and Lustrous Eye Cover for Sleeping Unisex (Blossom Almond)

"This mask deserves five stars because it meets all of the necessary criteria: aesthetics, comfort, function, durability, and quality.

The silk is wonderfully smooth, and cooling; I've had no issues with trapped heat, sweating, irritation, etc. and I have *very* sensitive skin! Both sides of the mask are silk, allowing it to slip easily over my pillow or blankets without twisting out of place, and creating a gentle barrier against my eyes (some sleep-masks I've used...like flannel or fleece-lined ones...feel too textured, irritating my eyes as I sleep and causing me to wake up with tired, itchy eyes).

My room faces the east, making sunrise unavoidable...in spite of black-out curtains...but this mask works just as it should, so that's not an issue anymore. I even tried it with the curtains tied back, and only a *sliver* of light got through around the nose area of the mask (this isn't a moulded mask, so that's to be expected), however, there *is* a band of material there that blocks most of the light, and the entire mask is completely opaque.

As for the print, the colours are beautiful and vivid! I've actually considered getting the Starry Night mask for my Mum, and I'll certainly be recommending it to any friends or family who mention light disturbance in the future.

This mask is definitely perfect for beauty sleep, or hibernation. ;) --By S.S. on September 14, 2018
