This sheet mask is a surge of pure, cooling hydration for skin stressed by Mauritius's sun, heat, and air-conditioning. Packed with Japanese White Birch Sap and a multi-hyaluronic acid complex, it instantly quenches thirsty, dehydrated skin, leaving it plump, dewy, and calm.

Feeling the effects of sun, wind, or dry indoor air on your skin? This mask offers immediate relief for dehydration and sensitivity.

• What it is: A water-gel sheet mask soaked in a deeply hydrating and nourishing essence.
• Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types, but especially beneficial for dry, dehydrated, combination, and sensitive skin.
• What it does: Delivers an intense and lasting moisture boost, soothes irritation and redness, and restores a healthy, radiant glow.

For an instant glow and hydration boost, follow these simple steps:

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Mask: Unfold and place the mask on your face for 10-20 minutes.
3. Seal & Protect: Remove the mask, gently pat the remaining essence into your skin, and follow with your favorite moisturiser to lock in the benefits.

Mindful Tip: Use 1-3 times a week as a special treatment, or before an event for plump, glowing skin. There's no need to use it every day.

Weekly Use — PM Recommended:

• Amount: Use one full sheet mask per session.
• Apply to: A cleansed and toned face.
• Method:
  1. Carefully unfold the mask and align the eye, nose, and mouth openings.
  2. Smooth the mask over your entire face, ensuring good contact.
  3. Relax for 10-20 minutes. Do not let the mask dry out completely on your face.
  4. Remove the mask and discard it. Gently pat the leftover essence into your face, neck, and décolletage until absorbed.
• Frequency: Use 1 to 3 times per week, or whenever your skin needs an extra boost of hydration.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you have very dry skin: Follow up with a richer moisturiser (like a cream or balm) to seal in all the hydration.
• If you have oily skin: The remaining essence might provide enough moisture. See how your skin feels before adding a light gel moisturiser.
• For extra soothing: Store the mask in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before use for a cooling effect that helps reduce puffiness and redness.

Integrate this mask into your routine as a weekly restorative treatment.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Active Night (e.g., Retinoid)
  • Tue: Soothing Night (Hydrating Toner + Moisturiser)
  • Wed: Hydration Boost Night (Cleanser → THIS MASK → Moisturiser)
  • Thu: Active Night (e.g., Exfoliant)
  • Fri: Soothing Night (Hydrating Toner + Moisturiser)
  • Sat: Soothing Night (Hydrating Toner + Moisturiser)
  • Sun: Spa Night (Cleanser → THIS MASK → Moisturiser)

Rules:

• Use on a "soothing" or "off" night, not on the same night as strong exfoliants (high-strength AHA/BHA) or retinoids, to allow your skin to focus on hydration and repair.
• Always apply to a cleansed face, before your final moisturiser step.

• Immediately: Skin feels intensely hydrated, plump, and cool to the touch. The appearance of fine dehydration lines is diminished, and the complexion looks dewy and refreshed. Any minor redness or irritation is visibly calmed.
• 2-4 Weeks (with 1-2 uses per week): You may notice improved skin texture and a more resilient skin barrier. Your skin feels less tight during the day, even in air-conditioned environments, and retains moisture more effectively.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, your skin's baseline hydration level improves, leading to a sustained healthy glow and suppleness.

• Myth: "Oily skin doesn't need hydration or masks because it will get greasier."
• Truth (Why this, not that): Oily skin is often dehydrated, meaning it lacks water, not oil. This dehydration can cause your glands to produce even more oil to compensate. This water-gel mask provides intense, oil-free hydration with ingredients like Birch Sap and Hyaluronic Acid. By replenishing water levels, it helps balance the skin, potentially leading to less sebum production over time, without clogging pores. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)

• Works Well With: This mask is a team player. You can use it in a routine with Niacinamide, Vitamin C, gentle exfoliants (on alternate days), and retinoids (on alternate days). It's excellent for providing a hydration buffer for potentially irritating actives.
• Use Carefully With: Avoid using immediately after a harsh physical scrub or a strong chemical peel, as the skin may be too sensitized. Let your skin rest and focus on hydration.
• Routine Order: Always use after cleansing and toning, but before applying your final cream or facial oil.

• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. This is a primary solution for quenching thirsty skin and restoring a plump, comfortable feel.
• Sensitive: Excellent. The formula is designed to be gentle and soothing, free of common irritants like added fragrance.
• Combination: Very good. It effectively hydrates dry cheek areas without making the T-zone feel greasy.
• Oily: Good. Provides necessary water-based hydration which can help balance sebum. The essence is lightweight and non-comedogenic.
• Acne-Prone: Suitable. Hydration is key for a healthy barrier, which helps skin heal. The soothing properties can also help calm inflammation from breakouts.

• Dehydration and skin tightness
• Dryness and flakiness
• Dullness and lack of glow
• Skin stressed by sun exposure or environmental changes
• Weakened or compromised skin barrier
• General sensitivity and redness

• Hyaluronic Acid Complex (10 types): A blend of different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid that hydrate multiple layers of the skin, from the surface down to the deeper epidermis, for a lasting plumping effect. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)
• Allantoin: A soothing and skin-protecting compound that helps calm irritation and supports the skin's natural healing process. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: The essence has a very faint, clean, and neutral scent from its raw ingredients. Intensity: 0/5.
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the formula. However, as with any product containing multiple botanical extracts and compounds, a patch test is always recommended for highly sensitive or reactive skin.

Who should use with caution:

• Individuals with known allergies to any of the specific botanical ingredients listed.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There is insufficient published data on the topical use of high concentrations of birch sap during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is generally considered safe, but we advise consulting with a clinician before use.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Before using the mask on your face, open one pouch and apply a small amount of the essence to a discreet area of skin, like your jawline or behind the ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use.
4. Discontinue use immediately if you experience any adverse reaction.

• Texture & Finish: The mask itself is a soft, thin water-gel sheet that adheres closely to the skin. It is saturated in a slippery, watery essence that absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling deeply hydrated and dewy, without a greasy or heavy residue.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but likely in the mildly acidic range of 5.5 - 6.5 to be compatible with the skin's natural barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains Butylene Glycol, which can be a potential trigger for some individuals with FA. However, it is generally considered low-risk. We advise a patch test if you are highly sensitive. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: The mask feels like it's slipping or doesn't fit my face perfectly.
  Solution: Lie down while masking to prevent slipping. You can also use scissors to make small snips around the nose, chin, or sides of the mask for a more customized fit.
• Issue: The essence feels a bit sticky on my skin after I remove the mask.
  Solution: You may have used too much of the leftover essence from the pouch. Gently pat the skin until it's mostly absorbed, then apply a light moisturiser over it. The moisturiser will help seal in the hydration and reduce any tacky feeling.
• Issue: I feel a slight tingling sensation when I first apply the mask.
  Solution: For very dehydrated skin, a slight, brief tingle can be a normal response to the influx of hydration and active ingredients. However, if the sensation is uncomfortable, turns into burning, or is accompanied by redness, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water.

• Humid Summer: Perfect as a refreshing, cooling treat after a day in the sun. For very oily skin types, the hydration from this mask may be sufficient on its own for a night-time routine, allowing you to skip a heavy cream.
• Drier Winter & A/C Exposure: An essential tool to combat the dryness caused by cooler weather or constant air-conditioning. Use it 2-3 times a week to keep your skin's moisture barrier strong and prevent flakiness.

• Direct Sourcing: Adilsons sources this product directly from the official brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
