Finding the right men’s eye mask can be difficult, but don’t worry we make it simple. We understand that consistently doing shift work or frequently doing business abroad, your sleeping pattern is often out of shape and you struggle to adjust to the light, time zone or your internal body clock, which is where a sleep eye mask proves to be essential.

Now the great thing for men who are sceptical about wearing a sleep mask, is that when you wear an eye mask you’re immersed into pure darkness. When your brain & body detect darkness it begins to increase the production of melatonin, which is the hormone for regulating sleep and wakefulness, allowing you to get the sleep you deserve.

 

A little known reason why many men opt for using a sleep mask is actually due to muscle and tissue repair within the body. Essentially when your body enters a state of REM (Rapid Eye Movement), it repairs muscle fibres and tissues within the body, thus if you’re frequently at the gym or active it is important to attain that rest. Of course one of the fastest natural ways of falling asleep and entering into a REM state is through using a mens sleep mask.

Getting quality sleep isn’t the only plus of wearing an eye mask for men, because if like many you’re looking to avoid or at least slow down the impending wrinkles of facial doom, then you will want to look towards silk sleep masks for men.

The reason being silk is a naturally breathable material, which allows oxygen to flow into the mask nourishing the skin and preventing the skin around the eyes from excreting moisture. The reason moisture is vital is because collagen is water based protein that lives within the skin, and unfortunately when it becomes dehydrated it begins to crack and clot together, forming wrinkles.

Using a silk mens eye mask can be beneficial if like some men you suffer from certain skin conditions that are prone to irritation, the reason being, silk is naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic, meaning you should be able to sleep with minimal notice and irritation.
