It can be difficult to get six to eight hours of sleep every night without fail but, unfortunately for us, dark, puffy circles underneath our eyes can be a telltale sign. Enter beauty eye masks! They not only help you look more awake, but they can also help to treat fine lines.

Elemis's co-founder Noella Gabriel tells us: "The skin around the eye area is extremely fragile and can be one of the first places to show signs of premature ageing. The eye area is often neglected and if not looked after correctly, can become dry, puffy and congested and age your face beyond your years. An eye mask will help with all these skin concerns by providing an instant boost of deep hydration and having a cooling and anti-inflammatory effect." 

With that in mind, we've rounded up the best eye masks that need to be in your skincare kit ASAP.

Dr Maryam Zamani, Oculoplastic Surgeon and founder of MZ Skin has some recommendations for faking the 8-hour sleep rule which is almost impossible to get!

"When suffering from dark circles, the key thing to do is keep the area cool and hydrated, and drink plenty of fluids. As well as using products such as the Soothe & Smooth or an eye mask like Hydra Bright Gold Eye Mask for hydrating as well as adding in a richer eye-cream Depuff and Define which will both work to brighten the dark circles. You can also consider a treatment such as the Eye Ampoules to maximise these treatments."
