LumiDew Steam Eye Masks you will ADORE
Promising review: "My eye doctor recommended that I start using warm compresses daily to relieve styes and improve circulation. These eye masks heat up instantly when opened and are individually wrapped, which makes them very convenient. The warmth lasts for over 30 minutes, making them perfect for soothing styes or simply relaxing after a long day in front of a screen. They are incredibly comforting and I would definitely recommend!" — Li-Fang Huang
