Struggling with skin that feels red, tight, or irritated from the heat and sun in Mauritius? You're not alone. This mask is like a cool, calming drink for stressed skin, delivering an intense dose of soothing Calendula to restore comfort and hydration in just 15 minutes.

This single-use sheet mask is an emergency rescue for skin that's feeling sensitive, red, dehydrated, or irritated. It's packed with real Calendula flower petals and soothing extracts to instantly calm inflammation and deeply hydrate.

• Who it's for: All skin types, especially sensitive, reactive, dry, and combination skin. Excellent for calming skin after sun exposure, exfoliation, or when it just feels stressed.
• What to expect: An immediate cooling and soothing sensation upon application. After 15-20 minutes, skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and looks visibly calmer and less red. The finish is dewy and refreshed.
• Scent & Texture: A soft, natural floral scent from the Calendula. The sheet is made of a thin, soft material that adheres well, drenched in a watery, non-sticky essence.

Use this mask 1-3 times a week, or whenever your skin needs a calming boost (especially in the evening).

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to create a clean base.
2. Apply Mask: Unfold the APRIL SKIN REAL CALENDULA DEEP ESSENCE MASK and place it on your face. Relax for 15-20 minutes.
3. Seal & Protect: Remove the mask, gently pat the remaining essence into your skin, and follow with a moisturiser to lock in the hydration.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish what you have first to practice mindful consumption—substitute, don’t stack.

A sheet mask is a perfect way to end the day, helping your skin repair and rehydrate overnight.

• Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):
  1. Cleanser: Use an oil cleanser then a water-based foam cleanser if you wore makeup or sunscreen.
  2. Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
  3. THIS MASK: Apply the Real Calendula Deep Essence Mask for 15-20 minutes. After removing, pat in the excess essence.
  4. Moisturiser: Apply a night cream to seal in all the benefits.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture (like toner) to the thickest (like a cream).

• Amount: One full sheet mask per session.
• Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or as needed for a calming treatment. It's especially beneficial after a day in the sun or after using an exfoliating product.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully unfold the mask.
  2. Place the sheet on your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  3. Smooth out any air bubbles to ensure good contact with the skin.
  4. Relax for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Remove the mask and discard it. Gently pat the remaining essence onto your face and neck until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.
• Pro Tip: Use the extra essence left in the packet on your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands. For an extra cooling effect, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before use—perfect for a hot Mauritian evening!

Integrate this mask into your week as a recovery and hydration step, especially on nights when you're not using strong actives.

• Example Week (PM focus):
  • Mon: Exfoliation Night (e.g., AHA/BHA Toner)
  • Tue: Soothing Night (Use this Calendula Mask)
  • Wed: Active Night (e.g., Retinol/Retinal)
  • Thu: Soothing Night (Hydrating serum + Moisturiser)
  • Fri: Soothing Night (Use this Calendula Mask)
  • Sat: Active Night (e.g., Retinol/Retinal)
  • Sun: Soothing Night (Hydrating serum + Moisturiser)

Rule: This mask is perfect for the night after exfoliation to calm potential irritation, or on "off-nights" from strong actives like retinoids to focus on hydration and repair.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly cooled, soothed, and deeply hydrated. Any immediate redness or tightness is visibly reduced. Your complexion will have a plump, dewy glow.
• After 2-4 Weeks (using 1-2 times per week): You may notice that your skin is less reactive overall. The skin barrier feels stronger, and periods of sensitivity or redness may become less frequent. Hydration levels are more stable.
• After 8+ Weeks: With consistent use alongside a good routine, your skin's resilience is improved. It appears calmer, healthier, and maintains a natural radiance more consistently.

• ✅ Works Well With: This mask is a universal team player. It's excellent to use with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Snail Mucin, barrier-supporting ingredients like Ceramides and Panthenol, and gentle brighteners like Niacinamide.
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With: It’s perfect to use *after* exfoliating with AHAs, BHAs, or Retinoids to calm the skin and replenish moisture. Just don't apply another strong active serum immediately after removing the mask; let the calming essence be the star treatment for that evening.
• ❌ Avoid On: Do not apply to broken skin, open wounds, or active infections.

• Sensitive/Reactive: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent. Specifically designed to soothe and calm irritation.)
• Dry/Dehydrated: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent. Provides an intense boost of hydration.)
• Combination: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Very Good. Hydrates dry cheeks while being lightweight enough not to overwhelm the T-zone.)
• Normal: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Very Good. A wonderful treat for maintaining skin health and glow.)
• Oily/Acne-Prone: ⭐⭐⭐ (Good. While not targeting oil or acne specifically, it provides lightweight hydration and can help calm the redness from inflammatory breakouts without clogging pores.)

• Redness & Irritation: The Calendula flower extract is a hero ingredient for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to visibly reduce redness and calm angry skin.
• Dehydration & Tightness: The essence drenches the skin with moisture, instantly relieving the tight, uncomfortable feeling of dehydrated skin.
• Compromised Skin Barrier: Ideal for skin that feels raw or sensitive from over-exfoliation, sun exposure, or environmental stress. It helps to soothe and support the recovery process.
• Dullness: By providing intense hydration, this mask plumps up the skin, which helps it reflect light better for an immediate radiant glow.

• EU Allergens: Contains Citronellol and Geraniol, which are naturally occurring components of the essential oil used.
• Botanical Sensitivity: While Calendula is very soothing for most, individuals with allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family (like ragweed, daisies, and marigolds) should perform a patch test first as a precaution.

While formulated for sensitive skin, it's always wise to be cautious with new products.

• Patch Test Protocol: Before using the mask on your face, apply a small amount of the essence from the packet to a discreet area, like your jawline or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours. If no redness, itching, or irritation occurs, it should be safe for facial use.
• Precautions:
  • For external use only.
  • Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Discontinue use if signs of a severe rash or irritation appear and persist.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: The mask sheet is thin and soft, adhering closely to facial contours. It is saturated in a slippery, watery-gel essence that feels lightweight and non-sticky.
• Scent: A very subtle, natural, and calming herbal-floral scent from Calendula and Geranium oil. Not overpowering.
• Finish: After removal, the essence absorbs well with a few pats, leaving the skin feeling deeply hydrated, plump, and with a fresh, dewy glow. There might be a slight tackiness initially which dissipates after a few minutes or upon applying moisturiser.
• pH: ~6.0 (Slightly acidic to be gentle on the skin barrier).

• "The mask doesn't fit my face perfectly."
  Sheet masks rarely offer a perfect fit. Smooth it out as best you can. If needed, you can make small snips with clean scissors around the nose or mouth area for a better fit. The key is to ensure most of the sheet is in contact with your skin.
• "The essence feels a bit sticky after I take the mask off."
  This is common with hydrating masks. Give it a few minutes to fully absorb, gently patting your skin can help. If it still feels tacky, you can follow up with your moisturiser, which will usually resolve the feeling.
• "There's so much essence left in the packet!"
  Don't waste it! After applying the mask, squeeze out the remaining essence and apply it to your neck, chest, arms, and elbows. Your body will thank you for the extra hydration.

• For Humid Weather: This mask is perfect. Its lightweight, watery essence provides intense hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. It's an excellent way to cool and calm skin after a hot, sunny day.
• For "Winter" & AC Exposure: During Mauritius' cooler, drier months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, this mask provides a crucial boost of moisture to combat environmental dryness and prevent dehydration.
• Pro-Tip for the Tropics: Keep a few masks in your refrigerator. Applying a chilled mask after coming in from the heat is an incredibly refreshing and effective way to reduce skin temperature and calm heat-induced redness.

Can I use this mask if I have acne?

Yes, absolutely. While it's not an acne treatment, its anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe the redness and irritation associated with breakouts. It provides hydration without clogging pores, which is beneficial for all skin types, including acne-prone skin.

Is it okay to use this mask every day?

You can, especially if your skin is very dehydrated or irritated. However, for most people, 2-3 times a week is sufficient to see and maintain benefits. Daily masking can sometimes lead to over-hydration for certain skin types.

What should I do with the essence after I take off the mask? Should I wash it off?

No, do not wash it off! The leftover essence is packed with beneficial ingredients. Gently pat it into your skin until it's mostly absorbed, then follow with your moisturiser to seal everything in. This is a crucial step to get the full benefit of the mask.
