Dealing with skin that feels hot, red, or irritated can be frustrating. This calming sheet mask is a quick rescue for sensitized skin, delivering an instant cooling and soothing effect to restore comfort and hydration, especially in Mauritius's warm and humid climate.

• Texture: A soft, plush cotton sheet soaked in a watery, lightweight essence.
• Scent: Faint, natural herbal scent; no strong artificial fragrance.
• Key Benefit: Immediately reduces feelings of heat and irritation while providing deep hydration.
• Best For: Sensitive, reactive, dehydrated, and irritation-prone skin types.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
3. THIS PRODUCT: Apply the SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Mask and relax for 10-20 minutes.
4. Moisturiser: After removing the mask, pat in the remaining essence and seal with your favorite moisturiser.

Note: Already own a similar soothing mask? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

• Amount: One single-use sheet mask.
• Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or whenever your skin feels particularly stressed, red, or dehydrated.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully unfold the mask.
  2. Place the sheet onto 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 10-20 minutes.
  5. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your face and neck until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.
• Pro-Tip for Mauritius: For an extra cooling and de-puffing effect on hot days, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly cooled, soothed, and hydrated. Visible redness may appear calmer.
• 2-4 Weeks: With regular use (1-3 times a week), skin's moisture barrier feels more resilient. You may notice less reactivity to environmental stressors like sun and humidity.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin appears more consistently calm and hydrated. The overall health of the skin barrier is improved, leading to a reduction in frequent sensitivity and irritation.

• Why use a Calming Mask, not a harsh physical scrub on red skin? Trying to "scrub away" redness or irritation with harsh physical scrubs (like those with large, jagged particles) can create micro-tears in the skin, worsening inflammation and damaging your skin barrier. A gentle, soothing mask like this one calms inflammation and supports the barrier, helping your skin heal and become less reactive over time.

• Works Well With: This mask is designed for sensitivity and layers well with almost any routine. It's particularly effective when used after gentle exfoliation (AHA, BHA) to calm the skin, or before a rich moisturiser to lock in hydration.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. It can be a great buffer in a routine with strong actives like retinoids, helping to mitigate potential irritation.
• Where to Apply: Apply to the entire face. The essence is gentle enough for the neck and décolletage.

• Excellent For: Sensitive, irritated, easily reddened, dehydrated, and rosacea-prone skin.
• Good For: All skin types, including oily and combination skin, that experience occasional sensitivity or need a lightweight hydration boost.
• Caution: While formulated for sensitive skin, a patch test is always advised. This formula contains several essential oils which could be a trigger for highly allergic individuals.

EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete component data from the brand; patch test advised.

• Who should use with caution: Individuals with known allergies to carrots, essential oils (like lavender, orange peel, sage), or any other ingredient listed should avoid this product.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the essence from the packet to a discreet area, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, redness, or itching. If a reaction occurs, do not use the mask on your face.
• General Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if a rash or irritation develops and persists. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture & Finish: The essence is watery and lightweight. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. The finish is hydrated and plump with a natural, healthy glow.
• Scent: A very mild, earthy, and slightly herbal scent from the natural carrot extract and essential oils.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but calming products are typically formulated to be mildly acidic (around pH 5.5) to support the skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, which can be potential triggers for fungal acne. If you are highly prone to FA, patch testing is strongly recommended.

• Issue: The mask feels like it's drying out too quickly.
  • Fix: Your skin may be very dehydrated, or the air may be very dry (e.g., in an air-conditioned room). You can apply a hydrating toner or mist before the mask. Don't leave it on for longer than the recommended 20 minutes, as a drying mask can start to pull moisture back from the skin.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit sticky after patting in the essence.
  • Fix: You may have used too much of the leftover essence. Gently pat, don't rub. Wait a minute for it to fully absorb before applying your final moisturiser, which will seal it in and remove any tackiness.

This mask is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate. Its lightweight, watery essence provides necessary hydration without feeling heavy or greasy in high humidity. It's perfect for calming skin after a day in the sun or for soothing irritation caused by heat and sweat. During drier winter months or in heavy air-conditioning, it provides a great layer of hydration before a thicker cream.

• Fair Caveat: "Unfortunately when I use it my inner cheeks turn red and it'll sting slightly... I'm thinking my skin might not be able to take the amount of oils in this product." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-08). A minority of users with sensitivity to the essential oils in the formula reported experiencing irritation, highlighting the importance of patch testing.

Can I use this mask if I have acne?

Yes, it can be very beneficial. While not an acne treatment, its calming properties can help reduce the redness and inflammation associated with breakouts. However, it does contain some ingredients that can be a trigger for fungal acne, so patch test if you are prone to that specific condition.

What do I do with the extra essence in the packet?

Don't let it go to waste! You can apply the leftover essence to your neck, chest, arms, and the backs of your hands for extra hydration and soothing benefits.

Is it okay to leave the mask on for longer than 20 minutes?

It's best not to. Once the sheet mask starts to dry out, it can begin to reabsorb moisture from your skin, which is counterproductive. Stick to the 10-20 minute window for optimal results.
