To dry a silk eye mask, always air dry it to prevent damage to the delicate silk fibers. Never use a dryer.
Here's a detailed guide on how to properly dry your silk eye mask:
-
Remove Excess Water: After washing your silk eye mask (either by hand or in a washing machine using a delicate cycle and a mesh laundry bag), gently roll it in a clean, dry towel. Lightly press to absorb as much excess water as possible. This step helps to reduce the drying time.
-
Air Dry: Lay the eye mask flat on a clean, dry surface or hang it on a padded hanger away from direct sunlight or heat. Direct sunlight can fade the color of the silk, and heat can damage the fibers.
-
Avoid Direct Heat: Never put your silk eye mask in the dryer. The high heat will damage or even burn the silk fibers, causing shrinkage, stiffness, and loss of its natural sheen.
-
Drying Time: Silk typically dries relatively quickly. Depending on the humidity, it should be completely dry within a few hours.
In summary, the best way to dry a silk eye mask is by air drying it after gently removing excess water with a towel, ensuring it's away from direct sunlight or heat.
