Dealing with skin that feels tight, flaky, or rough, especially after a long day in air-conditioning? This nourishing sheet mask is like a comforting blanket for your skin. Infused with rich Shea Butter extract, it delivers intense moisture to relieve dryness and leave your complexion feeling soft, supple, and deeply cared for.

If your skin feels constantly thirsty, tight, or looks dull from dryness, this mask offers a quick and effective moisture boost. It's an emulsion-type mask, meaning the essence is creamy and rich, designed to deeply nourish and restore comfort to tired, dehydrated skin.

• Best for: Dry, Dehydrated, Normal, or Mature Skin.
• Key Benefits: Deeply moisturizes, soothes flaky patches, and restores a soft, supple feel.
• Feel: A soft, thin sheet soaked in a creamy, nourishing essence.
• Scent: A light, clean, comforting scent.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face to ensure the essence can be absorbed properly.
2. THIS MASK: Apply the sheet mask to your face and relax for 10-15 minutes.
3. Pat & Moisturise: After removing the mask, gently pat the remaining essence into your skin. Follow up with a moisturiser to seal in all the hydration.

Mindful Tip: Already have a hydrating mask you love? Finish that one first. The goal is to nourish your skin, not just collect products.

Sheet masks are best used in the evening to allow the nourishing essence to work overnight.

• Minimalist Routine (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) [THIS MASK] (10-15 mins) → 3) Pat in remaining essence & apply Moisturiser.
• Optional Routine (4-5 steps): 1) Double Cleanse (if wearing makeup/SPF) → 2) Hydrating Toner → 3) [THIS MASK] (10-15 mins) → 4) Pat in essence → 5) Moisturiser or Sleeping Pack (to lock everything in).

• Amount: One full sheet mask per use.
• Frequency: 1-3 times per week, or whenever your skin feels particularly dry and in need of a nourishing boost.
• Method:
  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. Don't leave it on until it's completely dry, as this can have a reverse-hydrating effect.
  5. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your face and neck until absorbed.
• Pro Tip: Squeeze out the extra essence left in the packet and apply it to your neck, elbows, and knees!

This is a nourishing mask, perfect for your "soothing" or "hydration" nights. It helps buffer the skin, especially if you use strong actives on other nights.

• When to use: Use this mask 1-3 times per week in the evening.
• Example Week:
  • Mon: Exfoliant Night (AHA/BHA)
  • Tue: Shea Butter Mask Night (Focus on hydration & repair)
  • Wed: Retinoid Night
  • Thu: Soothing Night (Hydrating toner, calming serum)
  • Fri: Shea Butter Mask Night (Boost moisture before the weekend)
  • Sat/Sun: Gentle/Soothing Routine
• Rule: It's best to use this mask on nights when you are not using strong exfoliants or retinoids to give your skin a dedicated moment of nourishment.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly relieved from tightness and dryness. It will feel soft, plump, and look dewy.
• After 2-4 weeks (using 1-2 times per week): You may notice that your skin feels less prone to flakiness and maintains its moisture levels more effectively. The skin's natural barrier feels stronger and more resilient.
• After 8+ weeks: With consistent use, skin texture appears smoother and healthier. Dry patches are significantly reduced, and the skin has a sustained supple and nourished feel.

Evidence: Based on the known functions of key ingredients like Shea Butter and humectants (Ingredient Rationale). Individual results will vary.

• Why this, not harsh DIY masks? While DIY masks with kitchen ingredients can be fun, they often lack the right formulation to be effective and can sometimes be irritating. This sheet mask uses Shea Butter extract in a carefully balanced, skin-friendly essence to deliver deep, consistent nourishment without the risks of irritation from food acids or potential contaminants.

This nourishing mask is very compatible and easy to add to most routines.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Toners & Essences: Apply these before the mask to prep the skin for maximum absorption.
  • Most Serums: You can apply your regular serum before the mask, or skip it and let the mask's essence be the main treatment.
  • Moisturisers & Facial Oils: Always apply a moisturiser or a few drops of oil after patting in the remaining mask essence. This is crucial to seal in the hydration.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Strong Actives (Retinoids, AHAs/BHAs): It's best not to use this mask on the same night as a strong exfoliant or retinoid. Instead, use it on alternate "recovery" nights to replenish moisture and support your skin barrier.

• Excellent For:
  • Dry Skin: The creamy, nourishing essence provides immediate and lasting relief from tightness and flaking.
  • Dehydrated Skin: Helps to replenish lost moisture and restore a plump, healthy look.
  • Mature Skin: Provides essential fatty acids and moisture to improve suppleness and skin texture.
• Good For:
  • Normal Skin: A great weekly treat to maintain moisture levels and keep skin soft.
  • Combination Skin: Can be beneficial for dry cheek areas, but might feel a bit heavy on the T-zone for some.
• Use With Caution:
  • Very Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: The rich, emulsion-type essence might feel too heavy or potentially clog pores for those with very oily skin. A lighter, water-based mask (like Tea Tree or Aloe) might be a better fit.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance (Parfum/Fragrance). The scent is generally described as light, clean, and lotion-like.
• Scent Intensity: 2/5 (Noticeable but not overpowering).
• EU Allergens: The specific components of the "Parfum/Fragrance" are not declared, so potential EU allergens cannot be verified. A patch test is always recommended for sensitive skin.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Individuals with very oily, acne-prone, or clog-prone skin should be mindful, as the rich essence may be too heavy.
• Those with a known allergy to any of the ingredients, including added fragrance, should avoid this product.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the essence from the packet to a discreet area of skin, like your jawline or behind your ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the mask is likely safe for you to use on your full face.

Safety Note: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use immediately if a rash or irritation occurs and consult a specialist if symptoms persist. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: The essence is a creamy, milky emulsion, richer than typical watery sheet mask essences.
• Finish: Leaves the skin with a very dewy, moisturized, and slightly tacky finish initially, which absorbs to a soft, nourished feel.
• Scent: A subtle, clean, slightly powdery fragrance.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Not FA-safe. Contains ingredients like Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate and Methyl Glucose Sesquistearate which may pose a risk for those with fungal acne.

• Issue: The essence feels sticky after removal.
  • Solution: This is common with nourishing masks. Gently pat the skin for an extra minute to aid absorption. You can also wait 5-10 minutes before applying your final moisturiser, which will help seal it in and reduce the tacky feeling.
• Issue: The mask doesn't fit my face well.
  • Solution: Sheet masks are one-size-fits-most. Gently make small snips with clean scissors around the nose or chin area to create a custom fit.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit heavy after using it.
  • Solution: This is a rich mask. Try using it as the final step in your routine at night, replacing your moisturiser on that day. Or, if your skin is not extremely dry, consider a lighter mask from the same Real Nature line.

• Humid Summers: This mask might feel too heavy for daytime use or for oily skin types during the humid Mauritian summer. However, it's perfect as an intensive weekly night treatment to counteract the drying effects of air conditioning.
• Drier Winters & AC Exposure: An excellent choice during the cooler, drier months or for anyone who spends significant time in air-conditioned environments, which can strip moisture from the skin.
• Post-Sun Care: After a day at the beach (and after cleansing thoroughly), this mask can help to soothe and deeply replenish moisture lost through sun and saltwater exposure.

Here's a summary of real, independent user feedback. (Note: These are aggregated anecdotes, not clinical results.)

"The Shea Butter mask is my go-to when my skin is very dehydrated, especially after a long flight. It's much more moisturizing than the other masks in the line."
- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (paraphrased, 2015)

"I have dry/dehydrated skin, and while some masks just give temporary hydration, this one really softens my skin. The essence is creamy and rich, not watery. It does leave a bit of a sticky residue, but it's worth it for the moisture."
- Amazon customer review (paraphrased, 2024)

Fair Caveat: "The scent is like cheap baby wipes to me, which I didn't enjoy. It was moisturizing, but I prefer the honey or aloe versions from the same line because of the smell."
- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty comment (paraphrased, 2015)

Launched in 2003 in South Korea, THE FACE SHOP is a globally recognized brand that champions the connection between science and the purity of nature. Their philosophy is rooted in sourcing the finest natural ingredients from around the world and combining them with technology to create effective and affordable skincare for everyone. They believe in the value that nature provides, offering a wide range of products that bring the benefits of botanicals to your daily routine.

Shea Butter

A rich fat extracted from the nuts of the shea tree. It's a fantastic emollient, meaning it softens and soothes the skin, and is packed with fatty acids that help strengthen the skin's barrier.

Emulsion

A stable mixture of oil and water. In skincare, an emulsion-type essence (like in this mask) is creamier and more nourishing than a watery one.

Humectant

An ingredient that attracts and holds onto water molecules. Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate are powerful humectants that pull moisture into the skin.

INCI

International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients. The standardized system of names for ingredients used on cosmetic labels.

Is this mask suitable for oily skin?

It can be too rich for very oily or acne-prone skin. If you have combination skin, you might enjoy it on your drier areas. For oily skin types, we recommend the Tea Tree or Green Tea masks from the same line for a more lightweight feel.

Should I wash my face after using the mask?

No, do not rinse! The essence left on your skin is packed with beneficial ingredients. Gently pat it in until it's absorbed, and then follow with a moisturiser to seal it all in.

Can I use the leftover essence in the packet later?

For hygiene reasons, it's best to use all the essence immediately after opening. Apply the excess to your neck, chest, arms, or legs right after you apply the mask to your face.

• Best For: Those with dry, flaky, or tight skin looking for an immediate and intensive moisture boost.
• Key Benefits: Deeply nourishes, soothes dryness, and leaves skin feeling soft and supple.
• Keep in Mind: The creamy essence might be too heavy for very oily skin types. It also contains added fragrance, which may not be suitable for those with extreme sensitivities.
