*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data (no animal-derived ingredients detected).

Feeling the effects of a long day in the Mauritian sun? This sheet mask is a calming drink of water for skin that feels tight, irritated, or overheated. Formulated with soothing aloe extract, it delivers instant cooling relief and a burst of hydration, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and comfortable.

If your skin is feeling stressed, red, or dehydrated from heat or sun exposure, this mask is your quick fix. It’s a simple, effective way to restore moisture and calm irritation without a heavy or complicated routine.

• Best For: All skin types, especially sensitive, irritated, or sun-exposed skin.
• Key Benefits: Instantly soothes redness and discomfort, provides cooling hydration, and helps restore the skin's moisture balance.
• Feel: A thin, soft sheet mask saturated in a cool, watery essence.
• Scent: Fresh and clean, with a noticeable fragrance.
• What to Expect: Skin feels immediately cooled, plumped, and hydrated after one use. Redness appears visibly calmer.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Mask (THIS PRODUCT): Carefully unfold and place the mask on your face. Relax for 10-20 minutes.
3. Absorb & Moisturise (PM): Remove mask, pat in the remaining essence, and follow with a simple moisturiser to seal in the hydration.

Note: Mindful consumption is key. Use this mask 1-3 times per week as a boost, not a daily necessity. If you have other hydrating masks, finish them first before opening a new one.

[Weekly Use — PM recommended]

• Amount: One single-use sheet mask.
• Frequency: 1 to 3 times per week, or whenever your skin needs extra soothing and hydration.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully remove the mask from its packaging.
  2. Unfold the sheet and place it evenly on your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  3. Smooth out any air bubbles to ensure good contact with the skin.
  4. Relax for 10-20 minutes.
  5. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.
• Pro Tip: Don't waste the extra essence in the pouch! Apply it to your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands. You can even use the folded mask on your neck for a few minutes after taking it off your face.

[Watchouts]

• Stickiness: If your skin feels a bit tacky afterwards, it means there's a lot of hydrating essence. Simply give it a few more minutes to absorb or apply a very light moisturiser on top to seal it in.
• Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear.

This mask is perfect for your "soothing" or "recovery" nights. It helps calm skin after using strong actives or after a day in the sun.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) Night
  • Tue: THIS MASK (Soothing/Hydration Night)
  • Wed: Retinoid Night
  • Thu: Soothing/Hydration Night
  • Fri: THIS MASK (Post-Sun Recovery or Pamper Night)
  • Sat: Soothing/Hydration Night
  • Sun: Retinoid Night

[Key Rules]

• Use this mask on nights when you are not using strong exfoliants (like glycolic acid) or retinoids.
• It's excellent for the day after an exfoliation or peel to replenish hydration and calm potential redness.
• In Mauritius, it's a great choice for a Sunday evening routine to soothe skin after weekend sun exposure.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly cooled, refreshed, and deeply hydrated. Any feelings of tightness are relieved, and surface redness appears calmer.
• 2–4 Weeks (with 1-2x weekly use): Skin's hydration levels appear more stable. You may notice that your skin feels less reactive and looks plumper and more supple the morning after use.
• 4–8+ Weeks: With consistent use as part of a supportive routine, your skin's moisture barrier feels stronger and more resilient against environmental stressors like sun and air conditioning.

Why use a formulated Aloe mask, not just gel from an Aloe plant?

While fresh aloe is a wonderful plant, applying the gel directly can sometimes cause irritation. The raw plant contains a yellow latex layer with a compound called aloin, which can be an irritant for sensitive skin. This formulated mask uses purified Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, giving you all the soothing and hydrating benefits without the risk of aloin-related sensitivity. Plus, the mask's essence is enhanced with other hydrators like Sodium Hyaluronate and Panthenol for superior results.

• ✅ Works Well With: Almost any basic skincare routine. It's perfect to use after gentle cleansers and hydrating toners. It also layers well under simple moisturisers (creams or gels) and facial oils.
• ⚠️ Use Carefully With: This mask is designed to be gentle, but if your skin is extremely sensitive or has a compromised barrier, the added fragrance could be a potential irritant. Always patch-test first.
• ❌ Avoid On: Do not apply over broken or wounded skin. Avoid using on the same night as multiple other strong, active products to prevent overwhelming the skin.

• Dry / Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides a much-needed boost of water-based hydration.
• Oily / Combination: Very good. Offers lightweight, refreshing hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Sensitive / Irritated: Good, but with a caution. The aloe is very soothing, but the presence of alcohol and fragrance means a patch test is essential for highly reactive skin.
• Acne-Prone: Generally suitable. Aloe's anti-inflammatory properties can help calm red, angry blemishes. However, be aware that it contains some ingredients (like PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil) that can be a trigger for Fungal Acne in susceptible individuals. Individual responses may vary.

• Dehydration & Dryness: Delivers an immediate infusion of moisture to relieve tightness and flakiness.
• Redness & Irritation: Aloe extract is known for its ability to calm inflammation and soothe stressed skin.
• Sunburn & Heat Stress: Provides a cooling effect that is perfect for calming skin after sun exposure or a hot day.

[Who Should Use With Caution]

Individuals with very sensitive skin, rosacea, or a known allergy to fragrances or alcohol should exercise caution and perform a patch test before use.

[Patch Test Protocol]

1. Squeeze a small amount of the essence from the mask pouch onto a clean patch of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner arm.
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 face.

[If Irritation Occurs]

Discontinue use immediately. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional. Do not apply to broken, eczematous, or inflamed skin.

• Texture: The essence is a lightweight, watery liquid. The sheet itself is a standard soft cotton-like material.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling dewy, plump, and hydrated. There may be a slight tacky feeling initially as the rich essence absorbs.
• Scent: A distinct fresh, green, and slightly perfumed aloe scent.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but likely formulated in the skin-friendly range of 5.0 - 6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be a trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. Use with caution if you are susceptible. Individual responses vary.

• "The mask feels a bit sticky after I take it off."
  • This is normal and due to the high concentration of hydrators in the essence. Gently pat your skin for another minute or two to aid absorption. If it persists, follow up with a very light layer of a gel moisturiser to help it sink in and seal the hydration.
• "The sheet doesn't fit my face perfectly."
  • Sheet masks are one-size-fits-most. You can make small snips with clean scissors around the nose or chin area to get a better fit. Focus on ensuring the main areas like your cheeks and forehead have good contact.
• "My skin feels a little warm or tingly."
  • If it's a very mild, brief sensation, it could be your skin reacting to the active ingredients or the fragrance. However, if it progresses to burning, itching, or visible redness, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. This indicates a sensitivity to one of the ingredients.

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

• Humid Summers: Perfect for a refreshing and cooling treat after a hot, sticky day. Store it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before use for an extra cooling effect that helps soothe heat-induced redness and calms the skin.
• Drier/Cooler Months & AC Environments: An excellent way to combat the dehydration caused by air conditioning or drier weather. It provides a quick and effective boost of water-based moisture to prevent skin from feeling tight and flaky.

[Anecdote / Aggregated Sentiment]

Feedback for this mask is generally positive, with users praising its immediate cooling and soothing effects, especially on irritated or sun-exposed skin. It is often described as a reliable and refreshing "go-to" mask.

• An Amazon customer review (2024-05) stated, "It's super hydrating and refreshing. My skin feels so soft and supple after using it. Perfect for a quick pamper session."
• A fair caveat comes from another Reddit user (2023-10) with very sensitive skin, who noted that while hydrating, the fragrance was "a bit strong" and they preferred a fragrance-free option for daily use, reserving this one for occasional non-irritated days.
