Why Do We Get Dark Circles and Puffy Eyes?
Whether from late nights, lack of sleep, screen time, or stress, dark circles and puffy eyes are some of the most common beauty concerns. Under-eye skin is thin, delicate, and quick to show fatigue or irritation. When you combine fluid retention, poor sleep, or constant friction, you get puffiness, shadows, and that "tired look."
That’s where a silk sleep mask comes in.
How Silk Sleep Masks Help With Dark Circles and Puffy Eyes
1. Block Out Light for Better Sleep
Poor sleep is a major cause of under-eye bags and dullness. Silk sleep masks help create total darkness which supports melatonin production and deeper, more restorative rest. Better sleep = brighter eyes.
2. Reduce Friction and Skin Irritation
Silk is incredibly smooth and gentle on delicate eye skin. It reduces tugging, rubbing, or creasing that can worsen puffiness and dark circles over time.
3. Retain Moisture and Support Hydration
Silk doesn’t draw moisture from your skin like cotton. That means less dryness and better hydration around the eyes, especially important for tired, thin under-eye skin.
4. Cooling, Calming Effect
High-quality silk stays cool against the skin, reducing puffiness caused by inflammation or fluid buildup. Some even store their silk masks in the fridge for an extra de-puffing boost.
5. Enhance Your Eye Cream Routine
Because silk doesn’t absorb skincare, it allows your under-eye serums and creams to stay in place and do their job more effectively.
