Caring for silk
Silk is a natural protein fibre. Treat it a little like your own hair: cool water, a mild wash and no heat, and your mask stays soft and smooth for a long time.
Always check the care label in your mask too.
1
Wash by hand
Use cool or lukewarm water, up to 30 °C, with a mild detergent for silk or wool. Swirl the mask gently for a few minutes. Don’t rub or wring it, and skip bleach and fabric softener. Rinse well in cool water.
2
Dry flat
Press out the water by rolling the mask in a clean towel. Let it dry flat or hanging, out of direct sunlight and away from the heater. Never in the tumble dryer.
3
Smooth and store
If it needs it, iron on the lowest (silk) setting, on the inside, while it is still slightly damp. Keep your mask in its gift box or a drawer, away from sunlight, perfume and sharp edges.
Good to know
- How often: every week or two is plenty. Wash it more often if you sleep with night cream or oil on your skin.
- Perfume and hairspray can mark silk. Let them dry before you put your mask on.
- Travelling: a hotel sink and a drop of mild shampoo work fine. Hang it to dry overnight.
