Soothing Eye Mask

Sometimes we forget how rough everyday life is on our eyes. Well, we forget until our eyes start to burn, and if the problem is not taken care of properly, it can lead to headaches. While a bath soothes the muscles and lets our joints relax -- let's not forget this is the ideal time to give our eyes a rest, too.

The gentle treatment of wearing an eyelid gel mask during the bath is a remarkable way to get relief. Like swimmers' goggles, but much more delicate and lightweight, the eye mask slips over the head. Close your eyes and fit the two soft gel packs directly on the lids.

Set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before your bath, the gel sections of the mask become quite cool. As the coolness rests on the eyes, it draws away the firey burning sensation. The mask slowly reaches body temperature, allowing your eyes to naturally adjust back to the room's ambiance.

For tired eyes, hold the mask under hot water as you run the bath or heat the gel under running tap water in the sink. Although the gel will not get overheated, it's always a good idea to test it on your wrist to make sure the temperature is comfortable to place on your eyes before slipping it into place.

Once upon a time the only option for eye ease in the bath was to put a washcloth over them. Now, the soothing & relaxing eyelid gel mask does the job for you, hands-free.
