How to use your Eye Pillow

A simple, nourishing ritual. Placing on your STEM Eye Pillow gently cues your body and mind to slow down and rest. Here’s how to make it a comforting practice you’ll return to again and again.

How to use your STEM Eye Pillow

  •  Warm & Soothe

    Perfect for melting away tension, easing headaches, and unwinding before bed.

    1. Place your eye pillow in the microwave for 20–30 seconds (ensure it is completely dry).
    2. Test the temperature before placing it over your eyes. If it’s too warm, let it cool for a few moments.
    3. Lie back, breathe deeply, and feel the gentle warmth soften the tension around your eyes, forehead, and mind.

    Try this: Use after a long day of screen time or place on your belly for a moment of deep relaxation.

  • Cool & Refresh

    Ideal for calming puffiness, soothing tired eyes, and recalibrating the nervous system.

    1. Place your eye pillow in the freezer for 30+ minutes (or keep it there for daily use).
    2. Remove from the freezer and place over your eyes.
    3. Let the cooling sensation melt away stress and fatigue.

    Try this: Use in the morning to refresh your senses, after yoga or meditation, or to calm racing thoughts before bed.
