At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
For those moments when your skin feels irritated, oily, or on the verge of a breakout, this sheet mask provides immediate relief. It's a simple, effective way to soothe inflammation and restore balance.
- What it is: A single-use sheet mask soaked in a watery essence featuring Tea Tree extract.
- Who it's for: Best suited for oily, combination, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types.
- What it does: Instantly calms redness and irritation, provides light hydration, and helps control excess sebum for a refreshed, more comfortable complexion.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities.
- Apply Mask: Unfold and place THIS MASK onto your face for 10-20 minutes.
- Moisturise: After removing the mask, pat in the remaining essence and follow with a light moisturiser to seal in the benefits.
Note: This mask is a treatment step, perfect for 1-3 times a week when your skin needs extra calming care.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Incorporate this mask into your evening routine 1-3 times per week for the best results, especially on days when your skin feels stressed or after exfoliation.
- Minimalist Routine (1-3x a week): 1) Double-Cleanse (if wearing makeup/SPF) → 2) Toner → 3) THIS MASK (10-20 mins) → 4) Moisturiser.
- On Other Nights: Follow your regular PM routine without the mask.
- Tip: Using a soothing mask like this on nights you are not using strong actives (like high-strength retinoids or exfoliating acids) can help maintain a healthy skin barrier.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or whenever your skin feels irritated or oily.
- When: Best used in the evening after cleansing and toning.
- Step 1: Prep Skin. After cleansing, apply your favourite toner to balance your skin's pH.
- Step 2: Apply Mask. Unfold the mask and place it evenly on your face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.
- Step 3: Relax. Leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes. Use this time to relax!
- Step 4: Absorb. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your face and neck until fully absorbed. Do not rinse it off.
- Step 5: Seal. Follow up with your regular serum (optional) and moisturiser to lock in all the goodness.
- Bonus Tip: Squeeze out any excess essence left in the packet and apply it to your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
Here’s how you can fit this soothing mask into a weekly routine that also includes exfoliating actives.
- Monday (Exfoliation): PM: Exfoliating Acid (AHA/BHA).
- Tuesday (Soothe & Repair): PM: Use THIS MASK to calm any potential irritation from the previous night's exfoliation.
- Wednesday (Hydration): PM: Regular hydrating routine.
- Thursday (Exfoliation): PM: Exfoliating Acid (AHA/BHA).
- Friday (Soothe & Repair): PM: Use THIS MASK again for calming relief.
- Saturday & Sunday (Rest): Focus on hydration and barrier support with a simple routine.
Rule: This mask is perfect for “off-nights” from strong actives like retinoids or high-concentration acids to give your skin a calming break.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: Skin feels instantly cooled, refreshed, and hydrated. Any immediate redness or hot sensation is noticeably reduced.
- After 2-4 uses (1-2 weeks): You may notice that minor blemishes appear less inflamed and that your skin's overall oiliness is more balanced the day after use.
- After 8+ weeks of regular use: With consistent use (1-3 times a week), skin may become less prone to irritation and redness. Breakouts may appear less frequent or less severe as the skin's balance is maintained.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use THIS MASK, not DIY toothpaste on spots?
Many people apply toothpaste to pimples, hoping its drying ingredients will shrink the spot. However, toothpaste contains harsh ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate, flavouring agents, and fluoride that are not designed for skin. This can severely irritate the skin, disrupt its protective barrier, and even cause chemical burns, leading to worse inflammation and dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
A targeted soothing mask with Tea Tree extract offers a much safer and more effective solution. It calms the inflammation at the source using proven anti-inflammatory properties without stripping or damaging the surrounding skin. This helps the blemish heal faster and reduces the risk of scarring or lasting dark spots.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: This mask is a team player. It's excellent for calming the skin after using exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA), clay masks, or on nights you're taking a break from retinoids. It pairs beautifully with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica.
- Use Carefully With: There are no major conflicts. Since it is a soothing product, it can be used in almost any routine.
- Avoid On: Do not apply to broken skin, open wounds, or active eczema flare-ups without consulting a professional.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Acne-Prone: Excellent. Provides soothing hydration without adding grease and helps calm breakouts.
- Combination: Very good. It can help balance the oily T-zone while providing light hydration to drier areas.
- Sensitive: Very good. Specifically designed to soothe and calm irritation. However, a patch test is always recommended as some individuals can be sensitive to botanical extracts like Tea Tree.
- Dry: May not be sufficient. While it provides some hydration, very dry skin types will need to follow up with a rich, nourishing moisturiser.
- Normal: Good. A great option for a refreshing and clarifying treatment whenever the skin feels unbalanced.

Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions) (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: The mask feels a bit tingly upon application.
Solution: A slight, cooling tingle can be normal due to the tea tree extract. However, if it turns into a persistent burning or stinging sensation, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. This could indicate a sensitivity. -
Issue: There's a lot of essence left on my skin after removing the mask.
Solution: This is a good thing! Don't wash it off. Gently pat the excess essence into your face, neck, and décolletage until it is absorbed. This maximizes the hydrating and soothing benefits. -
Issue: The mask doesn't fit my face perfectly.
Solution: Sheet masks have a standard shape. Gently tear or overlap sections as needed to create a better fit around your nose, mouth, and jawline for optimal contact.
