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.

Use this mask 1-2 times per week for a refreshing boost:

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face to ensure the essence can be absorbed effectively.
2. Apply Mask: Place the mask on your face, smoothing it out. Relax for 10-15 minutes.
3. 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.

• Frequency: 1 to 3 times per week, typically as part of your evening routine.
• When to Apply: After cleansing and toning your skin.
• Method:
  1. Carefully unfold the mask.
  2. Place the sheet on your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  3. Smooth it down to ensure good contact with the skin.
  4. Leave on for 10-20 minutes. Don't let it dry out completely on your face.
  5. Remove the mask and discard it.
  6. 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.

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)

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

This mask is formulated to address the following concerns:

• Dull or tired-looking skin

Alcohol Clarification: This formula contains Alcohol Denat. While it can help with the absorption of other ingredients and provide a lightweight finish, it can also be drying or sensitizing for some individuals, particularly those with very dry or sensitive skin.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance (Parfum/Fragrance).
• Scent Profile: Users describe it as a pleasant, light, fruity-floral scent that is not overwhelming.
• EU Allergens: The full list of potential allergens within the "Parfum/Fragrance" is not disclosed by the brand. Common fragrance allergens such as Linalool, Limonene, etc., may be present. A patch test is highly recommended for fragrance-sensitive individuals.

Who should use this: Suitable for adults and teens looking for a hydrating and firming skincare boost.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very sensitive skin, eczema, rosacea, or a known allergy to fragrance or any of the listed ingredients should be cautious due to the presence of Alcohol Denat. and Parfum.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Squeeze a small amount of the essence from the mask packet onto a clean patch of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
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 on your face.
4. If irritation occurs, rinse the area thoroughly and discontinue use.

• Texture: A thin, soft cotton sheet mask saturated in a clear, watery, and slightly viscous essence.
• Feel on Skin: Cooling and very hydrating upon application. The essence absorbs well without feeling heavy, though it may leave a slightly tacky finish initially which typically dissipates as it dries.
• pH: Not published by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can potentially be a trigger for fungal acne. It is not considered FA-safe.

• 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.

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.

Aggregated sentiment from online communities. Individual results may vary.

• Praise: Many users appreciate the Real Nature line for being an affordable and reliable option for a quick hydration boost. One reviewer on Nykaa (2023) mentioned, "I'm rating it 5 stars upon 5 because the glow on the skin was inevitable to be ignored after the use." They also noted that the serum is lightweight and non-sticky.
• Fair Caveat: Some users, particularly on Reddit forums (2017), have reported experiencing a burning sensation or irritation from the Real Nature mask line. This is often attributed to the alcohol and fragrance in the formula. As one user noted, "They all burn my eyes and smell like alcohol." This highlights the importance of patch-testing if you have sensitive skin.

Can I use this mask every day?

While it's gentle enough for frequent use, we recommend using it 1-3 times per week for the best balance of results and skin health. Daily use is generally not necessary.

No, you should not rinse your face after. The leftover liquid is a nutrient-rich essence. Gently pat it into your skin until it's absorbed to get the full benefits, then follow with a moisturiser.

There's a lot of extra essence in the packet. What should I do with it?

Don't let it go to waste! You can use the extra essence on your neck, chest, arms, and even the backs of your hands. It's a great way to give the rest of your skin some love.
