Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This sheet mask is designed for occasional use to provide a quick boost of hydration[cite: 1]. [cite_start]It is not an active treatment that needs careful scheduling like retinoids or exfoliants[cite: 1].
- Gentle daily item (hydrator, basic eye cream): Use as per routine maps. [cite_start]
- If irritation-prone actives (AHA/BHA/retinal/retinol, strong vitamin C, peel pads): This mask is great for soothing and calming skin after using strong actives[cite: 1]. [cite_start]You can use it on the nights you are not using a strong active, or even immediately after a gentle exfoliant to replenish moisture[cite: 1]. [cite_start]
- Weekly Mask: Use 1-3 times a week, as a relaxing ritual or whenever your skin feels dry and in need of deep moisture[cite: 1].
Safety: If irritation occurs, discontinue use and follow patch-test guidance[cite: 1].

[cite_start]
- Immediate: Skin feels intensely hydrated, softer, and appears plumper[cite: 1, 2]. [cite_start]You will notice a healthy glow or "glass skin" effect[cite: 1, 2]. [cite_start]
- 2-4 Weeks: With regular use (1-3 times per week), skin maintains better hydration levels, leading to a more supple, balanced feel and a reduction in tightness[cite: 1]. [cite_start]
- 4-8+ Weeks: Sustained use helps to improve skin texture and elasticity, as dehydrated fine lines are less visible[cite: 1].
