This soothing sheet mask is a quick relief treatment for skin stressed by Mauritius' heat, humidity, and sun. Packed with 77% Heartleaf (Houttuynia Cordata) Extract, it instantly calms redness, reduces irritation, and provides a surge of lightweight hydration, making it perfect for sensitive, acne-prone, or overheated skin.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with redness, sensitivity, or breakouts that feel hot and bothered is frustrating. This mask offers immediate, cooling relief to calm that inflammation without heavy ingredients.
- What it is: A single-use sheet mask saturated in a watery, calming essence.
- Who it's for: All skin types, especially those prone to sensitivity, redness, irritation, and inflammatory acne. Excellent for cooling down skin after sun exposure.
- What it does: Instantly soothes and reduces visible redness, provides deep hydration, and helps fortify the skin barrier.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
- Apply Mask: Unfold and place the sheet mask on your face for 15-20 minutes.
- Absorb & Moisturise: Remove the mask, gently pat the remaining essence into your skin, and follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal it in.
Note: Already own a soothing serum? Use this mask on alternate nights or when you need an extra boost of calm. Substitute, don’t stack unnecessarily.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or whenever your skin feels irritated, red, or overheated.
- When to Use: Best used in your evening routine, after cleansing and toning.
-
Step-by-Step:
- Start with a cleansed and toned face.
- Carefully unfold the mask and apply it evenly to your face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.
- Relax for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the mask and discard it. Do not rinse your face.
- Gently pat the leftover essence into your face and neck until fully absorbed.
- Follow up with your serum (optional) and moisturiser to lock in the benefits.
- Pro-Tip for Mauritius: On very hot days, store the sheet mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use for an intensely cooling and de-puffing effect.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This mask is perfect for "recovery nights" in your routine.
-
Example Week (PM Focus):
- Mon: Exfoliating Night (AHA/BHA)
- Tue: Soothing Night (Use THIS MASK after cleansing/toning, then moisturise)
- Wed: Retinoid Night
- Thu: Soothing Night (Use THIS MASK to calm any potential irritation)
- Fri: Hydration Night (Hydrating serums + moisturiser)
- Sat: Active Night (Exfoliant or Retinoid)
- Sun: Soothing Night (Use THIS MASK as a relaxing weekly treat)
Rule: Use this mask to buffer your skin after using strong actives like exfoliants or retinoids, or on nights when you want to give your skin a calming break.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: Skin feels cooled, intensely hydrated, and looks visibly less red and calmer. A feeling of relief for irritated skin.
- 2-4 Weeks (with 1-3x weekly use): Skin becomes less reactive to environmental stressors. Inflammatory breakouts may appear less frequent and heal faster. Overall complexion looks more even and feels more comfortable.
- 4-8+ Weeks: The skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. You may notice a sustained reduction in baseline redness and sensitivity.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why use a soothing mask, not a harsh DIY remedy for acne? Many DIY acne "cures" like neat lemon juice, toothpaste, or baking soda are highly irritating. They can damage your skin barrier, leading to increased inflammation, more breakouts, and severe post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots). This calming mask reduces inflammation—the root of angry pimples—without causing further damage, helping skin heal cleanly.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: This mask is a team player. It's excellent for calming skin after using potentially irritating actives like Retinoids, Vitamin C, AHA, and BHA. It also layers beautifully with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol.
- Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. It is designed to be gentle and compatible with most skincare routines.
- Avoid On: Do not apply to open wounds, cuts, or severely broken skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Sensitive/Irritated: Excellent. This is its primary target.
- Acne-Prone: Excellent for calming red, inflammatory pimples.
- Oily & Combination: Excellent. Provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration.
- Normal: Great for maintaining skin health and providing a soothing boost.
- Dry: Good for calming and hydrating, but be sure to follow with a nourishing moisturiser to lock in the benefits.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Redness and flushing
- Skin sensitivity and reactivity
- Inflammatory acne and breakouts
- Dehydration and tight-feeling skin
- Skin irritation from environmental stressors (sun, heat, pollution)
- Calming skin after exfoliation or other active treatments

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use it: Ideal for anyone experiencing skin redness, sensitivity, or irritation. It is particularly beneficial for those with acne-prone or oily skin looking for a calming, non-greasy treatment.
Who should use with caution: While formulated for sensitive skin, those with known allergies to any specific botanical extracts in the ingredient list should exercise caution.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: The formula contains gentle ingredients generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, as there is no specific clinical data, we recommend consulting with your doctor before use.
Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the essence from the pouch to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If no irritation, redness, or itching occurs, it is likely safe to use on your face. Discontinue use if a reaction occurs.

- Texture: The essence is very thin and watery. The sheet itself is a soft, natural microfiber that adheres well to the skin without dripping excessively.
- Finish: After removal, the essence absorbs quickly with gentle patting, leaving the skin feeling fresh, plump, and hydrated with a healthy, non-sticky glow.
- pH: Approximately 5.5 - 6.5, which is within the skin's natural healthy range.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Based on an analysis of the ingredients, this formula appears to be Fungal Acne-safe. However, individual responses can vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The mask feels a bit cold or tingly.
Quick Fix: A cooling or slight tingling sensation can be normal, especially if your skin is warm or slightly irritated. If it becomes uncomfortable or turns into burning, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. -
Issue: My skin still feels a bit sticky after patting in the essence.
Quick Fix: You may have used too much of the remaining essence. Use just enough for a light layer on the face and neck. Wait another minute for it to absorb before applying your moisturiser, which will seal it in and remove any tackiness. -
Issue: I don't see a huge difference in my skin after one use.
Quick Fix: While the mask provides immediate calming and hydration, its barrier-strengthening benefits are cumulative. Consistent use (1-3 times per week) as part of a supportive skincare routine will yield the best long-term results.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This sheet mask is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.
- Humid Summers: It provides essential hydration without adding any oiliness or heavy feeling, perfect for calming skin that feels overwhelmed by humidity. The cooling effect is a welcome relief from the heat.
- Drier Winters/AC Exposure: In cooler, drier months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, this mask helps combat the resulting dehydration and sensitivity. Always follow with a good moisturiser to lock in the hydration.
