Dealing with dullness, leftover marks from breakouts, or skin that just looks tired from Mauritius's sun and humidity can be frustrating. This single-use sheet mask is a targeted treatment designed to deliver an intensive dose of hydration and brightening ingredients, helping to restore a clear, luminous glow.

• Skin Type: Suitable for all skin types, especially those with dull, uneven, or dehydrated skin.
• Key Benefit: Provides an instant boost of moisture and radiance, helping to improve skin tone and texture.
• Texture: A soft, thin sheet mask soaked in a generous amount of lightweight, watery essence.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to create a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT (Mask): Apply the sheet mask to your face and relax for 10-20 minutes.
3. Moisturise/Protect: After removing the mask, pat in the remaining essence and follow with your favourite moisturiser (PM) or sunscreen (AM) to seal in the benefits.

Note: This is a treatment mask, not a daily step. Use it 1-2 times per week or before a special occasion for a glow boost.

As a Weekly Treatment (1-2 times per week):

• Amount: One single-use sheet mask.
• Apply to: A clean and toned face. Carefully unfold the mask and place it over your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Method: Smooth out any air bubbles to ensure a snug fit. Leave on for 10-20 minutes. After removing, gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until absorbed. Do not rinse.
• Pro Tip: Use the extra essence left in the pouch to moisturise your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands.
• Mauritius Climate Tip: For an extra refreshing and calming treat on a hot day, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use.

This mask is a perfect weekly booster. Integrate it into your routine 1-2 times per week on nights when you are not using strong exfoliants or retinoids.

• Example Week:
  • Mon: Regular PM routine
  • Tue: Use THIS MASK after cleansing and toning
  • Wed: Exfoliant night (AHA/BHA)
  • Thu: Regular PM routine
  • Fri: Use THIS MASK for a pre-weekend glow
  • Sat: Retinoid night (if applicable)
  • Sun: Soothing/hydrating night

Safety: Do not use on broken or irritated skin. On nights you use this mask, you can typically skip any other treatment serums unless your skin is very dry.

• Immediate: Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and appears visibly brighter and more radiant. Redness may be slightly calmed.
• 2-4 Weeks (with consistent weekly use): Skin tone may begin to look more even and the complexion appears clearer. Skin texture feels smoother.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots from breakouts) and sun spots may be gradually reduced. Skin maintains a more consistent, healthy-looking glow. Consistent sunscreen use is essential to see and maintain these results.

Why use a stabilized Vitamin C mask, not pure lemon juice?

Many online DIY hacks suggest using lemon juice to lighten dark spots. However, lemon juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and can cause chemical burns, irritation, and even worsen hyperpigmentation, especially under the Mauritian sun (a condition called phytophotodermatitis). This mask uses Ascorbyl Glucoside, a stable and gentle form of Vitamin C, formulated at a skin-safe pH to deliver brightening benefits without the significant risks of irritation and sun sensitivity associated with raw citrus juice. (Evidence: Ingredient rationale)

• Works Well With: Most hydrating and soothing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, Centella Asiatica, and Ceramides. It can be used in a routine with Niacinamide and gentle retinoids (on alternate nights).
• Use With Caution: Avoid using on the same night as strong chemical peels or high-strength exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) to prevent potential over-stimulation or irritation.
• How to Layer: Use after your cleanser and toner. The essence from this mask replaces your serum step for the night. Follow with a moisturiser to lock everything in.

• Oily & Combination: Excellent. The essence is lightweight and hydrating without being greasy.
• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides a powerful dose of hydration to combat tightness and flakiness.
• Sensitive: Generally suitable as the Dr. Belmeur line is formulated for sensitivity. However, it contains several essential oils and fragrance. A patch test is strongly advised.
• Acne-Prone: Suitable. Niacinamide helps with blemishes and PIH, and the formula is non-comedogenic.

• Dullness and lack of radiance
• Uneven skin tone
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) from breakouts
• Surface dehydration and tightness
• Rough or uneven skin texture

  • Quick Fix: You may have too much essence on your skin. Gently pat for a full minute to encourage absorption. If it still feels tacky, wait 5 minutes before applying your moisturiser, which should resolve any remaining stickiness.

This mask is perfectly suited for the Mauritian climate. In the humid summer, it provides a burst of lightweight, non-greasy hydration. Keep it in the fridge for 15 minutes before use for an intensely cooling and de-puffing effect after a long day in the sun. In the drier winter months or in air-conditioned environments, it delivers a much-needed moisture boost to combat dehydration and dullness.

How often should I use this sheet mask?

For best results, we recommend using it 1 to 2 times per week as a boost to your regular skincare routine.

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

Don't let it go to waste! Apply the leftover essence to your neck, chest, arms, and hands for extra hydration and brightening benefits in those areas.

Can I use this mask if I use retinol or prescription treatments?

Yes, but it's best to use them on alternate nights. On the night you use this mask, skip your retinol or strong acid exfoliant to avoid potential irritation. This mask can be very soothing and hydrating for skin that is accustomed to strong actives.

Do I need to wash my face after using the mask?

No, do not rinse. After removing the sheet, gently pat the remaining essence into your skin to let it fully absorb its benefits. Follow up with a moisturiser to seal it all in.
