Why I’m impressed by sensory retreats self-warming eye mask
Quick note: Some of the links contained on this page are affiliate links and if you go through them to make a purchase, I will earn a commission. I only recommend products I use myself and think would be useful for you.
Okay, I’ve never come across a product like this before and therefore I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I was excited to be gifted a box of two eye masks to try. Simply because I’m a tired mama and I care immensely about my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of others. No matter what your situation in life, we all need a little self-care. Even if you struggle to find time, it’s important to make time. Recommended for 25 minutes, these masks fit perfectly with short snippets of relaxation.
Each week I do have one child-free day, thanks to my parents. It’s usually filled with cleaning, catching up on my never-ending to-do list. Or food shopping. However, on this occasion, I relished the opportunity to make time for self-care and review this product. Thank you for providing me with some much-needed relaxation sensory retreats.

So what did I think?
Opening the box felt special. As you can see from the packaging, this would make a perfect self-care gift for someone special in your life. I couldn’t wait to try it and indulge in relaxation.
If you’re struggling with what to buy for mother’s Day, this could be the perfect solution.
The fragrance
The masks I received had a faint rose smell. It was lovely, but not at all overpowering. Every now and then you got a whiff of it and felt more relaxed.
The mask itself
In the past, I’ve only ever used cooling eye masks. Therefore I was a bit apprehensive about the effect heat would have and also how these masks would self-heat.
The material is so light and breathable and the heat starts gradually, to a relaxing level. Think of an all-day heat pad on your back, but much more relaxing and fragrant.
The experience
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I love setting the mood. Following my mental breakdown, it’s important for me to have daily touches, like candles and diffusers. It really does lift my mood and make me feel better. Especially if I have a bad day.
When trying the masks, I lit candles, put on some yoga music on Spotify. And took the opportunity to do absolutely nothing. With a toddler running around the house, it’s rare to get these moments. And it was absolutely lush.

I must try this when I do my evening foot spa session on an evening – it sounds delightful. Self care is a must when you’re a busy mummy 😊
Definitely a must 🙂
This sounds like an amazing product. I’ve never tried a self heating mask before.
It’s so lovely. I am taking the second one on holiday with me. Can’t wait for some relaxation.
wow, what a great idea! I have never tried this; I did try a cooling mask in a sauna and liked it but I really love the idea of a warming mask! I can imagine how relaxing that would be especially in the winter when it’s super cold out! 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion!
It is super relaxing & something I never knew about either, until now.
Omg this looks so relaxing for a winter evening, I’d love this! Thanks for the idea!
Super relaxing. Can’t wait to try the other one 🙂
I’ve never tried a self-heating mask before but this sounds amazing! I can definitely relate to scrambling to clean and finish your to-do list while being baby-free. I’m guilty of the same. I’m glad you took some time to take care of you! Thank you for sharing!
I’m glad someone else fills their “free time” with this stuff & I’m not alone. Make sure you schedule some me time too. We have to take small moments where we can!
This sounds like a fab eye mask.
They are so lovely. I’m going to get some supplies for my relaxation moments.
Ooh these look lovely. I tried one of the Space Masks heated eye masks a couple of weeks ago when I had a bad headache and it felt LOVELY. I was so surprised at how hot it got!
I’ve never heard of them before now, but they are amazing. Might wait until I have a headache before using the next one. I bet it works wonders.
I’ve never tried an eye mask but this one looks intriguing. Thanks for sharing the info & your thoughts!
I felt the same when they were on the way. Very intrigued. Like, how will this work!
I really like your post!
Thank you
