A hot flannel over the eyes is one of the oldest comforts there is, and the MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask is the packaged version of it. Open the sachet and the mask begins warming on its own, reaching around 40°C and releasing gentle steam for roughly twenty minutes.
Hinoki is Japanese cypress, the wood traditionally used to build ofuro bathtubs, and its scent is the reason people describe this variant as smelling like a bathhouse rather than a perfume. It is woody, clean and quiet, which suits a mask you wear lying down at the end of a day.
The fabric is a soft, non-woven material that swells slightly as it steams, so it sits close over the eye area whether you are upright or lying flat. The ear loops tear out from the sachet itself. The Kao MegRhythm Steam Eye Mask needs no microwave, charging or preparation, making it as convenient on a plane or at a desk as it is in bed.
