Feeling the effects of a hot day or too much time in the sun? This simple, refreshing sheet mask offers an instant cooling sensation and a welcome dose of moisture to leave your skin feeling calm and hydrated.

• What it is: A single-use cotton sheet mask soaked in a watery essence featuring cucumber extract.
• Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types, especially those feeling dehydrated, overheated, or fatigued. It's a great introductory mask for beginners.
• Key Benefits: Instantly hydrates, soothes redness from heat, and provides a refreshing, cooling feel.
• Texture & Scent: A thin, soft cotton sheet with a light, fresh cucumber fragrance. The essence is watery and absorbs quickly.

Use this mask as a weekly treat to boost hydration, especially in the evening.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to start with a clean base.
2. Apply Mask: Unfold the mask and place it on your face for 10-15 minutes.
3. Moisturise: After removing the mask, pat the remaining essence into your skin and follow with your favourite moisturiser to seal in the hydration.

Mindful Tip: Already own a hydrating serum or mask? Use it up first to see if it meets your needs. This mask is best used to substitute, not stack, with similar products in your routine.

Incorporate this mask into your evening routine 1-3 times a week for a boost of soothing moisture.

• Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):
  1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if wearing makeup or sunscreen (Oil Cleanser → Water-Based Cleanser).
  2. Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
  3. THIS MASK (10-15 mins): Use this as your treatment step.
  4. Moisturiser: After patting in the leftover essence, apply a moisturiser to lock everything in.

Texture Rule: Apply products from the thinnest to thickest consistency. The watery essence of this mask should go on before any heavier creams or oils.

• Frequency: 1 to 3 times per week, or whenever your skin feels particularly dehydrated or overheated.
• Amount: One single-use sheet mask.
• How to Apply:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully unfold the mask.
  2. Place the sheet on your face, aligning it with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  3. Smooth it out to ensure good contact with the skin.
  4. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.
  5. Remove the mask and discard it. Gently pat the remaining essence into your face, neck, and chest until absorbed.
• Pro-Tip: For an extra cooling and de-puffing effect, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes before use. Perfect for a hot Mauritian day!

This is a gentle mask that can be easily added to most routines. Use it on nights when you want to focus on hydration and soothing.

• Example Week:
  • Mon: Exfoliant Night (AHA/BHA)
  • Tue: Hydration Night (Use THIS MASK)
  • Wed: Active Night (Retinoid/Vitamin C)
  • Thu: Soothing Night (Basic routine)
  • Fri: Hydration Night (Use THIS MASK)
  • Sat: Active Night (Retinoid/Vitamin C)
  • Sun: Soothing Night (Basic routine)

Rule: It's best to use this mask on nights when you are not using strong, potentially irritating actives like high-concentration acids or retinoids to give your skin a calming break.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly cooled, refreshed, and plump with moisture. Any surface tightness or heat-induced redness is temporarily reduced.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent weekly use, you may notice that your skin feels more consistently hydrated and balanced, requiring less moisturiser on other days.
• 4-8+ Weeks: This is a maintenance product. Long-term benefits include sustained skin hydration and a healthier-feeling skin barrier, making your skin more resilient to daily stressors like sun and air conditioning.

Why use this, not just cucumber slices?

While placing cold cucumber slices on the skin feels nice and can temporarily cool it down, a formulated sheet mask is more effective for hydration. The mask's essence is packed with humectants like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate that draw and hold water in the skin, providing a much more significant and lasting hydrating benefit than cucumber slices alone. The sheet material also ensures these ingredients are delivered evenly across the entire face and stay in contact with the skin to maximise absorption.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Panthenol.
  • Soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera and Centella Asiatica.
  • Most gentle cleansers and moisturisers.
• Use With Caution:
  • Avoid applying on broken, wounded, or severely irritated skin.
  • If you have very sensitive skin, the presence of denatured alcohol and fragrance means a patch test is essential.

• Oily & Combination: Excellent. Provides lightweight, water-based hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Dehydrated: Excellent. Delivers an immediate boost of water to relieve tightness and flakiness.
• Normal: Great for maintaining hydration and providing a refreshing treat.
• Dry: Good as a hydrating step, but must be followed with a richer moisturiser to lock in the benefits.
• Sensitive: Use with caution. The denatured alcohol and fragrance could be potential irritants. A patch test behind the ear is strongly recommended.

This mask is primarily designed to address:

• Dehydration: Relieves the feeling of tightness and restores moisture to thirsty skin.
• Skin Fatigue: Refreshes and revitalizes a dull, tired-looking complexion.
• Minor Redness & Irritation: The cooling effect helps to calm skin that is overheated from sun exposure or a hot climate.

Formulated Without (Brand Claim): While part of a "Real Nature" line, this product does contain synthetic ingredients. A full "formulated without" list is not provided by the brand.

Alcohol Clarification: This formula contains Alcohol Denat. (denatured alcohol), which gives the essence a lightweight, fast-absorbing feel. While effective for texture, it can be drying or irritating for very dry or sensitive skin types.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum/Fragrance").
• Scent Profile: A light, fresh, and clean scent reminiscent of real cucumber. Intensity is generally mild (2/5).
• EU Allergens: A full official INCI is not always disclosed, so a complete check against the EU's 26 potential fragrance allergens cannot be guaranteed. Based on similar product formulations, potential allergens like Limonene or Citral may be present. A patch test is always advised for reactive skin.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

Who Should Use With Caution: Individuals with very sensitive skin, rosacea, eczema, or a known allergy to fragrance or denatured alcohol should be cautious. Always perform a patch test before first use.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Squeeze a small amount of essence from the pouch onto a clean patch of skin, like the jawline or behind the ear.
2. Wait 24 hours. If any redness, itching, or irritation occurs, do not use the mask on your face.
3. If no reaction occurs after 24 hours, it is likely safe to use. Check again at 48 and 72 hours for any delayed reaction.

Safety Guidelines: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use immediately if a rash or irritation occurs and consult a clinician if it persists. Do not use on broken or damaged skin. Keep out of reach of children. Teenagers should focus on a basic routine of cleanser-moisturiser-SPF; masks like this are a gentle, occasional addition.

• Texture & Finish: A thin, soft cotton-like sheet mask drenched in a clear, slippery, water-like essence. After removal, the skin feels refreshed and hydrated, with a slightly dewy finish that absorbs well with patting.
• Scent: Fresh and clean cucumber scent.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but typically such essences have a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 to be compatible with the skin's natural barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be a potential trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. Individual responses vary, so patch testing is advised.

• Issue: The mask feels slightly tingly or stings.
  Solution: This could be a reaction to the denatured alcohol or fragrance. If it's uncomfortable, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. Your skin may be too sensitive for this particular formula.
• Issue: The essence feels sticky after I remove the mask.
  Solution: You may have too much essence left on your skin. Continue to gently pat it in for another minute. If it still feels tacky, you can gently blot the excess with a clean tissue or cotton pad before applying your moisturiser.
• Issue: The mask doesn't fit my face perfectly.
  Solution: Sheet masks have a standard shape. Feel free to make small snips with clean scissors around the nose or mouth area to customize the fit and ensure it lays flat against your skin.

This mask is perfectly suited for the warm and humid Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, watery essence provides hydration without feeling heavy or suffocating. It's an excellent way to cool down and soothe skin after a day in the sun or heat. Storing it in the fridge enhances this cooling effect.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: While our winters aren't harsh, indoor air conditioning can be very drying. This mask can quickly replenish lost moisture and relieve the tight feeling associated with dehydrated skin.

Humectant

An ingredient that attracts water molecules from the air and draws them into the skin's surface, helping to keep it hydrated. Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate are classic examples.

Glycerin

A highly effective and common humectant in skincare that helps the skin retain moisture, relieving dryness and refreshing the skin's surface.

Sodium Hyaluronate

The salt form of hyaluronic acid. It has a smaller molecular size, allowing it to penetrate the skin more easily and provide intense hydration from within.

Alcohol Denat.

Denatured alcohol. In skincare, it's used to give products a quick-drying, lightweight finish, enhance the absorption of other ingredients, and act as a solvent. It can be drying for some skin types.

Can I use this mask every day?

While gentle, it's generally recommended to use sheet masks 1-3 times per week. Daily use might be too much for some skin types, especially with the alcohol content. Listen to your skin's needs.

Do I need to wash my face after using the mask?

No, do not rinse. The essence left on your skin is full of beneficial ingredients. Gently pat it in until it's absorbed and then apply your moisturiser.

Is this mask good for acne-prone skin?

This mask is not a treatment for acne. However, its soothing and hydrating properties can help calm the inflammation and redness associated with breakouts without clogging pores.

Why does this "natural" mask contain alcohol and fragrance?

The "Real Nature" line is inspired by natural ingredients, but the formulations are modern. Alcohol Denat. is often included to create a light, non-sticky texture and help the essence absorb faster. Fragrance is added for a pleasant user experience. If you have very sensitive skin, you may prefer a formula without these ingredients.
