At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Feeling like your skin is stressed, red, or overheated from the sun and humidity in Mauritius? This sheet mask is an instant cooling drink for irritated skin, delivering a concentrated dose of calming Centella Asiatica.
- Texture: A unique, thick gel-like sheet made of Tencel and Bamboo that clings to the skin without dripping.
- Key Benefit: Immediately soothes redness and sensitivity while deeply hydrating the skin.
- Who it's for: All skin types, especially sensitive, irritated, acne-prone, or sun-exposed skin.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
Use this mask 1-3 times a week when your skin needs extra calming and hydration.
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
- Tone (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
- Mask: Apply THIS MASK for 10-20 minutes.
- Seal: Remove the mask, pat in the remaining essence, and follow with your usual moisturiser.
Note: Already own a similar calming product? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: One full sheet mask per use.
- Apply to: A clean, toned face. Carefully unfold the mask and place it over your face, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
- Method: Smooth the gel sheet to ensure good contact with the skin. Lie back and relax for 10-20 minutes.
- After Use: Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining ampoule essence into your face, neck, and décolletage until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.
- Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or whenever your skin feels particularly irritated or dehydrated.
Pro-Tip: For an extra cooling and soothing effect, store the mask in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before use. Perfect for a hot Mauritian day or after sun exposure.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This soothing mask can be used on any day your skin needs calming, but it works especially well on "recovery" nights after using strong actives like exfoliants or retinoids.
- Example Week (PM Focus): Mon Retinoid Night · Tue THIS MASK (Soothing Night) · Wed Exfoliant Night · Thu Soothing Night · Fri Retinoid Night · Sat THIS MASK (Soothing Night) · Sun Soothing Night
- General Use: Incorporate 1-3 times per week in your PM routine after cleansing and toning, before your moisturiser.
- Post-Sun Care: An excellent choice to calm skin after a day at the beach or outdoors.
Mauritius Note: In our humid climate, the rich ampoule from this mask might be hydrating enough to act as your serum and moisturiser step for the evening on very oily skin nights.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: A cooling, refreshing sensation. Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and looks less red and irritated.
- 2-4 Weeks: With regular use (1-2 times per week), you may notice your skin's baseline redness is reduced and it feels less reactive to environmental stressors like heat and sun.
- 4-8+ Weeks: Skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. Overall complexion appears calmer, more hydrated, and even-toned.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Instead of using DIY food masks like cucumber or yogurt for irritation, use this. While DIY remedies can feel cooling, they are not formulated for skin stability, can introduce bacteria, and lack the concentrated, penetration-enhanced actives of a professionally formulated mask. This watergel mask delivers a high concentration of purified Centella Asiatica and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid in a sterile, skin-adherent format for proven, reliable soothing and hydration.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Almost everything. As a soothing and hydrating product, it's an excellent buffer to use in a routine with strong actives like retinoids, vitamin C, or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA).
- Use Carefully: No major conflicts. Simply ensure you apply it on a clean face.
- Avoid On: Do not apply over broken or infected skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- All Skin Types: Excellent.
- Sensitive/Irritated: Highly recommended. The core function is to soothe and calm.
- Acne-Prone: Suitable. Centella is known for its anti-inflammatory properties which can help calm red, angry breakouts. The formula is lightweight and non-comedogenic.
- Dry/Dehydrated: Highly recommended. Packed with humectants including 5 types of Hyaluronic Acid to deliver intense moisture.
- Oily: Excellent. Provides deep hydration without a greasy feel.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Redness and visible irritation
- Dehydrated, tight-feeling skin
- Skin sensitivity and reactivity
- Sunburn or heat-induced inflammation
- Compromised skin barrier

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
Q: Is this mask suitable for fungal acne?
A: The ingredient list contains Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, which some sources identify as a potential trigger for Malassezia (fungal acne). While many users with acne-prone skin use it without issue, if you know you are highly sensitive to FA triggers, a patch test is strongly recommended.
Q: Can I use the leftover essence for a few days?
A: While some users do this, we recommend using all the essence in one session for hygiene reasons. Once the sterile packet is opened, it can be exposed to bacteria. Applying the excess to your neck, chest, and body is a great way to use it all up safely.
Q: Why is the sheet a gel texture and not a regular cotton sheet?
A: This mask uses a special watergel sheet made from Tencel and Bamboo. This material is designed to hold more ampoule than a standard cotton mask and adheres to the skin like a second skin, preventing the essence from evaporating quickly and enhancing absorption.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: Anyone needing instant relief from redness, irritation, or dehydration.
- Key Benefits: Intensely soothes, deeply hydrates, and provides a refreshing cooling sensation.
- Keep in Mind: The gel texture can be slippery, so it's best used while relaxing and lying down. It may not be suitable for those with severe fungal acne without patch testing first.
