With colder weather officially here, many people may experience the discomfort of dry eyes, which is made worse by central heating and chilly winds. But we’ve spotted a simple solution that could provide soothing relief — the Aroma Season Heated Eye Mask, currently on sale on Amazon from £29.99 to £24.22.
The mask’s warmth will help soothe the eyes, improve hydration, and provide much-needed relief from the irritation of cold weather. It has two temperature options to suit your preferred comfort levels, so you can adjust the heat based on how intense you want it.
It also features an automatic shut-off after 15 minutes, so you can use it before sleep without worrying about overheating or wasting battery. It’s also cordless, so there’s no need to worry about tangling wires while using it — making it convenient for anywhere, whether you’re lounging on the sofa or taking a short break from your laptop at work.

Plus, it’s made from soft silk, so it’ll feel super gentle on sensitive skin. It’s also designed to block out light, helping you to have an undisturbed night’s sleep.
This luxurious eye mask has earned rave reviews from shoppers, many of whom say it’s been a game-changer in helping to relieve dry peepers. One reviewer said: “I suffer from dry eye syndrome due to long hours at the computer (and) my doctor recommended using a hot towel to compress my eyes for ten minutes daily, but I found it too troublesome. This heated eye mask is very convenient, and the rechargeable feature allows me to use it anytime, anywhere.”
Another impressed user said: “I suffer from dry eye syndrome, so I use (this) heated eye mask at least once daily. I also use it for a relaxing afternoon rest on occasions – it is so easy to doze off with the warmth from the mask as the mask automatically switches off after 10 minutes.”
A third person, who agreed it “helps dry eyes”, called the mask “very relaxing”. Meanwhile, a fourth said it’s “really warm with three heat settings, easy to operate, comfortable to wear and it helps with dry eyes.”
However, it isn’t all good news. One person complained it was “too hot on lowest setting”, although they added: “Quick delivery though and returned with a full refund.”
