Prioritizing your sleep is SO important, and getting a full eight hours should be the norm, not the exception! Unfortunately, I am such a light and sensitive sleeper. No matter what kind of shades you have, sometimes they are no match for the summer sun blazing through. Luckily, the solution is simple: a silk sleep mask.
You might wonder, why silk? According to Wirecutter, it's better for your hair and skin — it has anti-aging properties by helping to prevent wrinkles and it doesn't dehydrate your skin by absorbing less moisture. While no clinical studies show the antibacterial properties help with acne yet, it's definitely something many people look to silk sleep products for, too. So, let's keep the self-care summer rolling with these five silk eye masks that can block out pesky light, protect your skin, and help you sleep better at night.

DROWSY Silk Sleep Mask
This is THE best sleep mask for 100 percent light blocking. The wrap around design makes sure no light will get through, and you can roll around all night without it falling off! It's padded and adjustable for the perfect comfy fit, and is guaranteed to improve sleep. It's on the pricier side for a sleep mask, but quality of this mask makes the investment worth it. Start sleeping in this summer for $80.

Nodpod Gentle Pressure Silk Sleep Mask
Just hear me out on this one! If you tend to lay sleep on your back, this is THE mask for you. It's weighted, which will help calm you down and ease you to sleep.

The reviews are stellar, and I kinda want to order one myself...try out the Nodpod for $47!
