Quality sleep is the cornerstone of overall well-being, and incorporating the right elements into your nightly routine can make a world of difference. With the hustle and bustle of life, added stressors, and blue light disruptors, no wonder deep sleep seems like a wishful dream. But fear not, we have just the thing that will turn that dream into a reality, giving you the peaceful slumber you've been daydreaming about. At Maison Apothecare, we understand the importance of restful sleep. We're thrilled to showcase your new favourite cuddle buddies- two products designed to enhance your sleep experience: our luxurious Silk Sleep Mask and the Healing Oil ~ Night Edition.


Silk Sleep Mask: Unveiling a World of Comfort


Imagine slipping into a world of tranquility as you rest your eyes beneath the gentle touch of silk. Our silk sleep mask is more than a simple accessory; it's a gateway to deeper, more restorative sleep. Crafted carefully, the inner and outer layers are made from 100% premium quality silk. This not only ensures breathability but also provides unparalleled comfort and prevents wrinkles. The silk glides effortlessly over your skin, reducing friction and preventing unwanted eye pressure. As you indulge in the softness of silk, you'll find your sleep more undisturbed, and your skin will thank you for the nourishing touch.


The Impact of Sleep Masks to Improve Sleep:


  • Reduced Sleep Disruptions:

  • According to studies, sleep masks were found to significantly reduce sleep disruptions caused by ambient light, allowing for an increase in the amount of time spent in slow-wave, deeper, sleep, leading to increased memory and alertness the following day.


  • Improved Melatonin Production:

  • Exposure to light, especially blue light, can suppress melatonin production. A study demonstrated that blocking light exposure with a sleep mask can help enhance melatonin secretion, promoting better sleep quality. 



  • Silk's Skin Benefits:

  • Silk is known for its smooth texture and potential skin benefits. Studies suggest that silk can contribute to maintaining skin moisture and reducing friction, which may be advantageous for skin health during sleep. 


  • Preventing Dementia Risk:
  • Recent research published in JAMA Neurology emphasizes the importance of slow-wave or deep sleep in reducing the risk of dementia. A study from the Framington Heart Study showed that a decline in slow-wave sleep percentage was associated with an increased risk of later-life dementia. Wearing an eye mask has been suggested as an easy remedy to boost slow-wave sleep, potentially lowering the risk of dementia.
