The Principle of Steam Eye Masks

Thermal reaction chemical equation:

2Fe+O2+2H2O=2Fe(OH)2  

2Fe(OH)2+H2O+½O2=2Fe(OH)3

2Fe(OH)3=Fe2O3+3H2O

Benefits of Steam Eye Masks

1.Alleviate Eye Fatigue

Long-term close-range use of the eyes can easily lead to tension and spasm of the ciliary muscle that regulates vision inside the eyeball. Coupled with the stimulation of blue light from electronic screens, it can cause temporary blurriness and fatigue in vision.

Applying heat can accelerate blood circulation, relax the ciliary muscle and restore the accommodation ability, thereby achieving the effect of relieving eye fatigue.

2.Alleviate dry eyes

Long-term close eye use reduces the number of blinks, resulting in meibomian gland dysfunction, palpebral fat solidification, blockage of the glandular orifice, the lack of oil on the surface of the eyeball moisten and lock water, aggravating dry sensation and foreign body sensation.

Can be liquefied by hot compress eyelid fat, smooth meibomian gland, make the ocular surface water oil balance, to alleviate dry eyes.

 3.Relaxation for Better Sleep

Eye discomfort is a kind of pain, and pain can affect mood and sleep; negative emotions can lead to a drop in body temperature.

The warmth effect of hot compresses can raise the temperature of the face and palms, stabilizing the nerves. The light-blocking eye mask can also regulate the secretion of melatonin and the circadian rhythm, helping people fall asleep faster.
