Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use this, not a DIY honey mask?
While applying raw honey from your kitchen can be moisturizing, it's often sticky, messy, and lacks the full benefits of a professionally formulated product. This sheet mask uses a stabilized, non-sticky essence containing honey extract, propolis, and royal jelly, balanced with proven hydrators like Panthenol and Sodium Hyaluronate. It delivers these ingredients effectively into the skin without the risk of contaminants or the hassle of a sticky cleanup, providing a complete, hygienic, and more potent nourishing treatment.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: This mask is compatible with most skincare routines. It layers beautifully with hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica. It's a great way to replenish moisture after gentle exfoliation.
- Use With Caution: Avoid using immediately after a very strong chemical peel or on broken, irritated skin. While soothing, it's best to let freshly peeled skin recover for a day before applying any product, including a sheet mask.
- Where it fits: Use after your cleanser and toner, but before your night cream or sleeping pack.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions) (best fits and cautions)
- Excellent for: Dry, Dehydrated, Combination, and Normal skin types seeking a boost in radiance and hydration.
- Good for: Oily skin types can benefit from its lightweight hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. Mature skin will appreciate the plumping and nourishing effects.
- Use with Caution: Sensitive skin types should perform a patch test first, as the formula contains added fragrance. Those with known allergies to bee products (honey, propolis, royal jelly) should avoid this mask.
