Which mask is better for skin and hair?

Silk reduces friction. If you wake up with sleep creases on your face, or tangled hair, silk helps. Regular cotton pulls on skin.

Silk is more breathable. You don't feel sweaty under it. Cheaper masks can trap heat.

Which one blocks light better?

Both block light equally. The contoured design matters more than the material.

Which mask is better value?

Silk costs $15-25. Regular is $5. If you sleep hot or have sensitive skin, silk is worth it. If not, save the money.
