Feeling like your skin is easily irritated, red, or struggling to recover from breakouts? This mask is designed as an emergency rescue for a stressed and weakened skin barrier.

• What it is: A single-use, 100% plant-based cellulose sheet mask saturated in a calming essence featuring Snail Secretion Filtrate.
• What it does: Provides immediate cooling and hydration, soothes visible redness, and delivers key nutrients to help repair and strengthen the skin's protective barrier.
• Who it's for: Ideal for all skin types, but especially beneficial for sensitive, damaged, acne-prone, or irritated skin that needs gentle, restorative care.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face to ensure maximum absorption.
2. Apply Mask (THIS PRODUCT): Leave on for 10-20 minutes. After removing, pat the remaining essence into the skin.
3. Moisturise (PM): Follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal in the hydration and nourishment.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you have other soothing masks at home, use them up first. This mask is a great choice when you need to replenish your stock with a barrier-focused treatment.

This mask is best used in the evening to help your skin repair and regenerate overnight. Use it 1-3 times per week or whenever your skin feels compromised.

• Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):
  1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if you've worn makeup or sunscreen.
  2. Toner (Optional): Apply a gentle, hydrating toner to prep the skin.
  3. THIS PRODUCT (Snail Barrier Mask): Apply the mask and relax for 10-20 minutes.
  4. Moisturiser: After patting in the leftover essence, apply a moisturiser to lock everything in. You can skip this if the essence feels hydrating enough for your skin type.

• Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or as a spot treatment when your skin feels particularly irritated, red, or damaged.
• Amount: One full sheet mask per use.
• Application Steps:
  1. After cleansing (and toning, if you use one), carefully take the mask out of the pouch and unfold it.
  2. Place the sheet onto your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  3. Smooth it out to ensure good contact with the skin.
  4. Leave on for 10-20 minutes. Do not let it dry out completely on your face.
  5. Remove and discard the mask. Gently pat the remaining essence on your face and neck until it is fully absorbed. Do not rinse off.
• Pro-Tip: Don't waste the extra essence! Squeeze out any remaining serum from the pouch and apply it to your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands.
• For an extra cooling treat: Store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use. This is especially soothing for sun-exposed or inflamed skin.

This soothing mask is the perfect partner for a routine that includes exfoliating acids or retinoids. Use it on "off-nights" to help your skin recover and strengthen its barrier.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Exfoliant Night (e.g., AHA/BHA toner)
  • Tue: Recovery Night (Use THIS MASK to calm and repair)
  • Wed: Hydration Night (Focus on hydrating serums/creams)
  • Thu: Retinoid Night (Apply your retinol product)
  • Fri: Recovery Night (Use THIS MASK again to soothe and support)
  • Sat & Sun: Simple Hydration (Gentle cleanser, hydrating toner, moisturiser)

Rule of Thumb: Use this mask the day after using strong actives or whenever your skin feels tight, red, or irritated. It helps minimize downtime and keeps your barrier healthy.

• Immediately: Skin feels intensely hydrated, cooled, and soothed. A visible reduction in redness and irritation is common after just one use.
• Within 24 hours: Skin appears calmer, plumper, and feels significantly softer. Dry or tight patches feel relieved.
• After 2-4 weeks (with regular use): The skin barrier feels more resilient and less reactive. Blemishes and post-acne red marks (PIE) may appear to heal faster.

Instead of picking at blemishes, which can lead to scarring and long-lasting dark spots (PIH)... use a soothing and regenerative treatment like this snail mucin mask. It helps calm the inflammation that makes blemishes look red and angry, and supports the skin's natural healing process for a better, faster recovery without the damage.

• Works Well With: This mask is a universal team player. It's excellent for calming the skin after using active ingredients.
  • Acids (AHA/BHA): Use this mask the day after exfoliation to soothe, hydrate, and support barrier recovery.
  • Retinoids: Perfect for "off-nights" from retinol to combat dryness and irritation.
  • Vitamin C: Can be used in the same routine (e.g., Vitamin C serum in the AM, mask in the PM) to support overall skin health and radiance.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. It is designed to be gentle and restorative.
• Avoid: Applying over heavy, occlusive creams or oils, as this would prevent the essence from absorbing properly. Always use it on clean skin before your final moisturising step.

• Oily & Acne-Prone: Excellent. Provides lightweight hydration and helps calm inflammation from breakouts without clogging pores.
• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Delivers a powerful boost of hydration and helps repair a compromised barrier, reducing flakiness and tightness.
• Combination: Perfect. Hydrates dry areas and soothes oily, breakout-prone zones without feeling heavy.
• Sensitive & Reactive: Ideal. Specifically formulated to soothe irritation, reduce redness, and strengthen a weakened skin barrier.

  • Solution: This is normal as it's packed with essence! Hold it over the open pouch as you unfold it to catch any drips. You can apply this extra essence to your neck before putting on the mask.

Here’s a summary of real, independent user feedback from platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. (Anecdotal/Aggregated sentiment)

"My skin was red and angry after I over-exfoliated, and this mask was a lifesaver. It calmed everything down almost instantly. It's soaked in essence and feels incredibly soothing."

— Paraphrased from a Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2024)

"I love this for hydration. It leaves my skin feeling so plump and dewy. The essence isn't too sticky and absorbs nicely after a little patting."

— YesStyle customer review (2024)

A fair caveat: "The fit of the mask was a little large for my face, especially around the mouth, but there was plenty of extra essence in the pack to use on my neck and arms, so none of it went to waste."

— Amazon customer review (2024)

We guarantee that this SOME BY MI product is 100% genuine, sourced directly from the brand or its authorized distributors in South Korea. Your skin's health and your trust are our highest priorities.

Is the snail mucin collected ethically?

Yes, SOME BY MI states that the snail mucin is sourced in a cruelty-free way. The snails are placed in an environment that encourages them to secrete mucin naturally without causing them harm or stress.

Will this mask feel slimy or sticky on my skin?

The essence has a characteristically viscous, slightly "slimy" texture due to the snail mucin, but it is formulated to be lightweight. Once you remove the mask and pat the essence in, it absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and dewy, not greasy. A slight tackiness may be present initially but should fade as it fully absorbs.

Can I use this mask if I have acne?

Absolutely. This mask is excellent for acne-prone skin as it helps to calm the redness and inflammation associated with breakouts. It also supports the healing process, which can help reduce the chances of scarring or post-inflammatory marks.

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

No, you should not rinse your face after using the mask. The leftover essence is packed with beneficial ingredients. Gently pat it into your skin to allow it to fully absorb and work its magic.

• Best For: Anyone whose skin feels irritated, compromised, or dehydrated. It's a fantastic "reset" button for a stressed-out complexion.

• Keep in Mind: This product is not vegan as it contains snail mucin. The fit of the sheet mask may not be perfect for every face shape, but this is a common issue with sheet masks. Contains essential oil (Lavandin).
