Getting the most
from your ritual.
Five steps to effortless relief. No setup, no charging, nothing to remember. Just open, place, and let the warmth do the rest.
Five steps to
complete relief.
Create your wind-down space.
Choose a quiet moment where you can properly switch off. Dim the lights, silence notifications, and allow yourself 20–40 minutes uninterrupted — or use just before sleep. Ardour & Vale works best when you give your body full permission to slow down.
Open & activate.
Remove the mask from its individual pouch. Once opened, the gentle warming process begins naturally. There is no need to microwave or charge — the mask is designed to activate on its own, effortlessly.
Position comfortably.
Place the mask softly over your closed eyes and secure the ear loops so it sits comfortably — snug but not tight. Adjust slightly if needed to ensure full light coverage and an even, soothing warmth across the eye area.
Relax & reset.
Allow the gentle heat to ease tension around your eyes. Many find that focusing on slow, deliberate breathing deepens the experience. Within minutes, you will feel the warmth encouraging your body to unwind and your mind to follow.
After use.
Once the warming cycle has finished, simply remove and dispose of the mask. There is nothing to clean, recharge, or store — making it perfect for home, travel, or post-work wind-down. Each night starts fresh.
Enhancing
your experience.
Use in the evening after long periods on screens to help soothe and soften blocked oil glands. The sustained 40°C heat addresses the root cause — not just the symptom.
Make this the final step in your bedtime routine to signal that it is time to switch off. The warmth and darkness activate your parasympathetic nervous system — the state that precedes deep sleep.
Keep a pouch in your bag for flights, hotels, or daytime sleep after night shifts. No charging, no liquids, no airport complications — just slip one in and rest wherever the night finds you.
Storing your
masks.
Each mask is individually sealed to preserve its warming properties until the moment you need it. A little care keeps them at their best.
