Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the Sensory Retreats Self-Heating Eye Mask range and other self-heating eye masks?
Divine Eyes is a collection of luxurious and pampering self-heating eye masks incorporating advanced and patented Ecosteam technology. From industry-leading spa-experts, Shared Beauty Secrets, responsible for distributing the world’s most successful self-heating massage tool, Lava Shells, and developers of Sensory Retreats, the five senses holistic well-being brand, these self-heating eye masks use premium double steam activated technology, alongside luxurious aromatherapy scents developed from high-quality natural plant essences.

Our family of masks heats up in seconds but lasts for a minimum of 25-minutes, heating from the inside out to deliver uniform and consistent, soothing heat.

Unlike many other self-heating eye masks, our range is also safe to sleep in overnight and can be used on children (under supervision) from aged 5+.

They’ve been designed, in conjunction with the extended Sensory Retreats professional and retail range, to deliver a fully immersive multi-sensory experience.

Use alongside the Sensory Retreats aromatherapy wellbeing collection of oils and candles and the Divine Escape Crystal Sound Healing music and guided meditations to further enhance your self-care experience.
What is ECOSTEAM technology?
ECOSTEAM technology is the patented heat delivery system used in our self-heating eye masks. It heats up to 35-degrees Celsius in as little as 30 seconds and at 41-degrees Celsius, remains warm for 25-minutes, unlike many other masks on the market.
How should you recycle your Eye Mask?
Please ensure that you dispose of your Divine Eyes responsibly. The box, sachet and string of your eye mask are environmentally friendly and can all be widely recycled. Please note that while the eye mask itself can not currently be recycled because of the self-heating technology it contains, your mask can be retained and used as a blackout mask whenever you wish to simply block out light. Our masks are a hygienic alternative to the traditional style lavender filled masks used in many therapeutic sessions and are supplied in a sealed packet, perfect for client treatments.
Is the Eye Mask collection vegan friendly?
Yes, our range is made to be both vegan friendly and cruelty-free.
What technology is used in the Sensory Retreats Self-Heating Eye Mask Collection?
Our Self-Heating Eye Masks contain a thin layer of iron filings along with activated carbon powder that cuddle up to the oxygen molecules in the air to create air activated heat. Once each individual foil-wrapped packet is opened up, the iron fillings are exposed to air which creates a gentle, safe and soothing heat sensation. They retain heat for approximately 25-minutes and are safe to sleep in overnight.
Are the Eye Masks Single Use?
Each Sensory Retreats Self-Heating Eye Mask is individually foil wrapped. While the masks can be used repeatedly as a blackout mask, the self-heating technology is single use only and your mask will only heat up once.
Are they suitable to sleep in overnight?
Our Eye Masks deliver a multi-sensory experience. Unlike many other heated masks, they can be worn all night as a blackout mask. Use whenever you need to relax, meditate, drift off to sleep, or if your sleep has been disturbed and you need to fall back to sleep.
Where else can the eye-masks be worn?
They’re ideal for meditation practice, Shavasana at the end of yoga practice, laid in bed, soaking in the bath, as part of home spa or in spa beauty ritual, sat at your desk to revive tired eyes, relaxing on the sofa, on a plane or even a train journey. The options are endless!
Can they be used on children?
Our masks are suitable for use on children aged 5 +. Adult supervision is recommended. If using on children you may need to secure with an extra knot to tighten the loops.
Are they suitable for men and women?
Yes, the unisex design features gently elasticated straps. Simply slip the mask over the ears and eyes to discover the soothing air-activated warmth.
Are they safe for use during pregnancy?
Yes, they’re perfect for new mums and parents, suffering from disturbed sleep patterns. The self-heating technology and scents used are all safe. Nothing is absorbed into the body.
How long does self-heating technology work?
Each individual foil-wrapped eye mask holds its heat for approximately 25 minutes.
What health and beauty conditions might the eye masks be used to alleviate?
Use to help alleviate conditions including dry and tired eyes, headaches, sleep problems, stress and anxiety.
What’s the difference between the different eye masks within the range?
Following extensive research, we’ve developed our eye mask range to target very different consumer markets and needs. Each has its own principle use, an associated scent, as well as free gifts to complete the overall sensory experience.
