1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face to ensure the mask's essence can penetrate effectively.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply the sheet mask for 10-20 minutes for a purifying treatment.
3. Moisturise (PM): After removing the mask, pat in the remaining essence and follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal in the benefits.

Note: Already own a similar mask? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

As a Weekly Treatment — PM Recommended:

• Amount: One single-use sheet mask.
• Apply to: A cleansed and toned face. Unfold the mask and place it over your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Method: Smooth out any air bubbles to ensure good contact with the skin. Relax for 10-20 minutes.
• After Use: Remove and discard the mask. Gently pat the remaining essence into your face and neck until fully absorbed. Do not rinse. Follow with your serum or moisturiser.
• Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week or whenever your skin needs a clarifying boost.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? This mask is perfect for helping balance sebum without stripping the skin.
• Feeling congested after a long day? Use this in the evening to refresh your skin and deep-cleanse pores.
• Sensitive or reactive? The soothing properties can help calm minor irritation, but always patch test due to the presence of fragrance and alcohol denat.

Use this mask on nights when you are not using strong exfoliants or retinoids to give your skin a soothing and purifying break.

• Example Week (PM focus): Mon - Retinoid Night · Tue - THIS MASK · Wed - Hydration Night · Thu - Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) · Fri - THIS MASK · Sat - Hydration Night · Sun - Soothing Night (no actives).

Mauritius Note: After a hot, sweaty day or prolonged time outdoors, this mask can feel exceptionally refreshing and help prevent pore congestion.

• Immediate: Skin feels cooled, refreshed, clean, and hydrated. Any surface tightness from cleansing is relieved.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent weekly use (1-2 times), you may notice that your skin feels more balanced and pores appear less congested.
• 4–8+ Weeks: As part of a consistent skincare routine, this mask helps maintain clearer skin, reducing the frequency of minor breakouts and contributing to a smoother overall complexion.

Why use this gentle purifying mask, not harsh DIY pore strips or scrubs?

Aggressive pore strips and harsh physical scrubs can cause micro-tears, irritation, and even damage your skin's protective barrier, leading to more inflammation and potential for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). This mask uses Mung Bean extract to gently clarify and soothe the skin, providing a purifying effect without the physical trauma, making it a safer choice for maintaining clear pores.

• Works Well With: Hydrating toners, hyaluronic acid serums, niacinamide serums, and gentle moisturisers. Using it after a hydrating toner can boost absorption.
• Use Carefully With: Avoid using it on the same night as high-concentration chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or strong retinoids to prevent potential irritation.
• Avoid On: Broken or severely irritated skin.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Helps to balance sebum and clarify pores without over-drying.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Very good. The purifying properties can help manage breakouts and soothe inflammation.
• Normal Skin: Good for a weekly deep cleanse and refresh.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. While it provides hydration, it may not be nourishing enough for very dry types. Follow with a rich moisturiser.
• Sensitive Skin: Patch test required. Contains alcohol denat. and fragrance, which can be potential irritants for highly sensitive skin.

• Clogged or visible pores
• Excess sebum and oiliness
• Dull skin tone
• Minor skin irritation and redness

• Sodium Hyaluronate: A form of Hyaluronic Acid that provides hydration, helping to plump the skin and ensure that the purifying action of the mask doesn't leave the skin feeling dry.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A soothing and moisturising ingredient that helps to calm irritation and strengthen the skin barrier.

Full INCI List:

Water/Eau, Glycerin, Propanediol, Glycereth-26, Alcohol Denat, Phaseolus Radiatus Seed Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Lecithin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Betaine, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Potassium Hydroxide, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum/Fragrance.

Note: The formulation contains Alcohol Denat., which can be drying for some skin types, and added Parfum/Fragrance.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance (Parfum/Fragrance).
• Scent Profile: The scent is typically described as fresh, clean, and slightly "green" or botanical. Intensity is generally mild to moderate (2/5).
• EU Allergens: The specific fragrance components are not declared by the brand, so a full EU allergen list cannot be confirmed. Patch testing is strongly advised for sensitive skin.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin should be cautious due to the presence of Alcohol Denat. and fragrance.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the essence from the packet onto a clean patch of skin, such as behind the ear or on the inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any signs of irritation, redness, or itching.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face.
4. If irritation develops, discontinue use immediately.

Safety Note: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if signs of a rash or burning appear. For teens, this mask can be a good introduction to skincare for managing oiliness, but should be part of a simple routine focused on cleansing, moisturising, and sun protection.

• Texture: A thin, soft cotton-like sheet mask soaked in a clear, watery essence.
• Finish: After removal, the essence absorbs to leave the skin feeling hydrated, refreshed, and non-sticky.
• Scent: A fresh, clean botanical fragrance.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but essence-based masks are typically formulated to be mildly acidic (pH 5.5 - 6.5) to be compatible with the skin's natural pH.
• Fungal Acne / Comedogenicity: Contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil and Dimethicone which can be potential triggers for some individuals prone to fungal acne or breakouts. Individual responses will vary.

• Issue: The mask is tingling or stinging slightly.
  Quick Fix: This could be due to the fragrance or alcohol denat., especially on compromised skin. If it's mild, it may pass. If it's uncomfortable, remove the mask immediately, rinse your face with cool water, and apply a simple, soothing moisturiser.
• Issue: My skin broke out the next day.
  Quick Fix: This could be a reaction to an ingredient. Discontinue use. A single sheet mask is unlikely to cause "purging." Check the INCI list for known personal triggers.
• Issue: There is a lot of essence left in the packet.
  Quick Fix: Don't waste it! Pat the extra essence onto your neck, décolletage, elbows, and hands for extra hydration.

This mask is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summer: The purifying and oil-balancing properties are perfect for combating the effects of heat and humidity, which can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. The cooling sensation provides immediate relief on hot evenings.
• Drier Winter / AC Exposure: While clarifying, the essence is also hydrating thanks to Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin, preventing the skin from feeling stripped even in air-conditioned environments.

Can I use this mask if I have dry skin?

You can, but it's more beneficial for oily or combination types. If you have dry skin, make sure to follow up with a very nourishing moisturiser to lock in the hydration from the essence.

Is it normal for the mask to have alcohol?

Some sheet mask formulations, particularly older ones or those aimed at clarifying, include Alcohol Denat. to help with absorption and provide a fresh feeling. However, if you have sensitive or very dry skin, you may prefer an alcohol-free formula.

Can I reuse the sheet mask or the leftover essence?

The sheet mask itself is strictly for single use for hygiene reasons. However, you can save the leftover essence from the packet in a clean, airtight container and use it the next day as a hydrating serum.
