Healthy Obsession: An Eye Mask That Instantly Soothes a Pounding Head

Catching the red-eye this Thanksgiving? Stash Sustained Organic Living’s Cotton Eye Pillow in your carry-on and zen out 30,000 feet above the ground.

While it may not be the sexiest, this mask means serious business when it comes to healing and calming. Its powers are no joke when heated or frozen, but even worn straight out-of-the-box it has an instantly calming effect thanks to the velvety-soft organic cotton and light lavender scent.

Once you’ve landed and arrived at your destination, we recommend microwaving the mask for 10 to 30 seconds (make sure it’s not too hot before putting it on!). When heated, the Clay Nature Beads release deep penetrating heat for soothing relief with lavender to relax and relieve stress.

The result is headache and sinus relief, which will no doubt come in handy the morning after a day of too much turkey, stuffing, and vino.
