At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Feeling like your skin has lost some of its bounce and looks a bit tired? This sheet mask offers a quick and easy solution.
- What it is: A single-use cotton sheet mask soaked in a watery essence enriched with Pomegranate Extract.
- Who it's for: Ideal for individuals with normal, combination, dry, or oily skin types who are concerned with dullness, dehydration, or the first signs of lost elasticity.
- What to expect: An immediate feeling of hydration and a temporary plumping effect. With consistent weekly use, it can contribute to a brighter, more radiant-looking complexion.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
Use this mask 1-2 times per week for a refreshing boost:
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face to ensure the essence can be absorbed effectively.
- Apply Mask: Place the mask on your face, smoothing it out. Relax for 10-15 minutes.
- Absorb & Moisturise: Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin. Follow up with your favorite moisturiser to seal in the hydration.
Note: A sheet mask is a supplementary treatment. Use it to boost your existing routine, not replace a core product like your daily moisturiser or sunscreen.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Frequency: 1 to 3 times per week, typically as part of your evening routine.
- When to Apply: After cleansing and toning your skin.
-
Method:
- Carefully unfold the mask.
- Place the sheet on your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Smooth it down to ensure good contact with the skin.
- Leave on for 10-20 minutes. Don't let it dry out completely on your face.
- Remove the mask and discard it.
- Gently pat the leftover essence into the skin on your face, neck, and chest until absorbed. Do not rinse.
- Pro-Tip: For an extra cooling and soothing effect, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use. This is especially refreshing in Mauritius' warm climate.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This mask is a flexible treatment. Use it whenever your skin needs a pick-me-up. Avoid using it on the same night as strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHA/BHA) to prevent potential irritation.
- Example Week:
- Mon: Regular PM Routine
- Tue: Exfoliating Night (e.g., Glycolic Acid Toner)
- Wed: Regular PM Routine
- Thu: Mask Night (Use THIS MASK)
- Fri: Regular PM Routine
- Sat: Soothing/Hydrating Night
- Sun: Mask Night (Use THIS MASK again if desired)
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels intensely hydrated, plump, and cool to the touch. You'll notice a temporary dewy glow and a refreshed appearance.
- After 2-4 Weeks (1-2 uses per week): Skin texture may feel smoother and more consistently hydrated. The temporary brightening effect after each use becomes a familiar boost.
- After 8+ Weeks: With consistent use as part of a complete skincare routine including daily sunscreen, this mask can contribute to maintaining skin's suppleness and overall radiance. The antioxidant benefits help protect against environmental stressors that lead to dullness.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why use this, not a DIY fruit mask? While applying mashed pomegranate at home sounds natural, it's not ideal. DIY fruit masks have an unknown pH, can introduce bacteria, and may not have the right molecular structure to penetrate the skin effectively. This sheet mask delivers a stable, pH-balanced pomegranate extract in a serum designed for skin absorption, providing the benefits without the risks of irritation or contamination.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Hydrating Toners & Essences: Applying a hydrating toner before the mask can prep the skin for better essence absorption.
- Gentle Serums: A simple hyaluronic acid or snail mucin serum can be applied after the mask essence has been patted in.
- Most Moisturisers: Following up with a moisturiser is essential to lock in all the benefits of the mask's essence.
-
Use with Caution:
- Strong Actives: Avoid using this mask immediately after a high-strength chemical peel or on the same night as a potent retinoid if you have sensitive skin, to minimize the risk of overstimulation.
- Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, wounded, or irritated skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Excellent for: Normal, Combination, Dry skin types looking for a boost in hydration and radiance.
- Good for: Oily skin types, as the essence is watery and lightweight, providing hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
- Use with Caution for: Very sensitive skin or those with a known allergy to fragrances. The formula contains Alcohol Denat. and Parfum/Fragrance, which can be potential irritants. A patch test is strongly recommended.

Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: The mask doesn't fit my face well.
- Quick Fix: The sheet is designed to be one-size-fits-all. You can make small snips with clean scissors around the nose, mouth, or eyes to customize the fit and ensure it lays flat against your skin.
-
Issue: My skin feels sticky after using the mask.
- Quick Fix: This usually means there's a lot of essence! Continue to gently pat the essence into your skin for another minute. If it still feels tacky, you can gently blot the excess with a clean tissue before applying your moisturizer.
-
Issue: The mask caused some mild redness or tingling.
- Quick Fix: This could be a reaction to the fragrance or alcohol. Remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. Apply a simple, soothing moisturizer. Discontinue use if the irritation persists.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This mask is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.
- Humid Summers: The lightweight, watery essence provides a burst of hydration without feeling heavy or suffocating on the skin. It's a perfect way to cool down and refresh your skin after a hot day. Storing it in the fridge before use enhances this cooling effect.
- Drier Winters/AC Environments: While our winters are mild, indoor air conditioning can be drying. This mask helps to quickly replenish lost moisture, leaving skin feeling plump and comfortable.
