THE FACE SHOP REAL NATURE FACE MASK WITH RICE EXTRACT

Feeling like your skin has lost its natural glow or feels rough to the touch? This sheet mask is a quick and effective solution for dullness.

• What it is: A single-use sheet mask soaked in a watery essence enriched with rice extract.
• Who it's for: Ideal for those with dull, dry, or combination skin seeking a boost in radiance and moisture.
• What it does: Instantly hydrates, brightens the complexion, and helps to smooth rough skin texture for a softer feel.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Mask: Unfold the mask and place it on your face for 10-15 minutes.
3. Moisturise: After removing the mask, pat the remaining essence into your skin and follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal in the benefits.

Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

Sheet masks are best used in the evening to allow the rich essence to work overnight.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) [THIS MASK] → 3) Moisturiser
• Optional: For extra hydration, apply a toner after cleansing and before the mask.

Texture rule: Apply this mask after watery toners but before thicker creams or oils.

• Amount: One full sheet mask.
• Apply to: A cleansed and toned face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Method: Smooth the mask over your face and relax. After 10-15 minutes, remove the sheet and gently pat the leftover essence into your face and neck until absorbed. Don't wash it off.
• Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or whenever your skin needs an extra boost of radiance.
• Pro-Tip: Use the excess essence left in the packet on your neck, elbows, and knees.

This mask is a booster treatment. Use it on nights when you are not using strong exfoliants to give your skin a hydrating and brightening treat.

• Example week: Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) • Tue: [THIS MASK] • Wed: Soothing Night • Thu: Retinoid (if using) • Fri: [THIS MASK] • Sat: Soothing Night • Sun: Hydrating Night
• Rule: Perfect for "off-nights" from strong actives like high-strength retinoids or chemical peels.

• Immediate: Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and appears visibly brighter with a dewy glow.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use (1-2 times per week), skin texture may feel smoother and the complexion looks more consistently radiant.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Overall skin tone appears more even, and the long-term hydrating effects help maintain a healthy-looking complexion.

• Why use this formulated mask, not just DIY rice water? While rinsing with rice water is a traditional remedy, it can be inconsistent and lacks preservatives, risking bacterial growth. This mask delivers a stable, pH-balanced dose of rice extract in a hydrating, lab-tested formula that is safe and optimized for your skin to absorb.

• Works with: Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide, Vitamin C derivatives, Panthenol, and most gentle hydrators. It's excellent for layering in a routine focused on hydration and brightening.
• Use carefully: Apply after cleansing and toning, but before heavy creams or oils. It's best used on nights when you are not using potent exfoliants (like high-concentration AHA/BHA) or retinoids to avoid potential overstimulation.

• Excellent for: Dull, Normal, Dry, and Combination skin types.
• May be suitable for: Sensitive skin (patch test recommended due to fragrance).
• Use with caution: Very oily skin types might find the remaining essence a bit heavy. If so, use a very lightweight, oil-free moisturiser on top.

• Dullness & Lack of Radiance
• Uneven Skin Texture
• Dehydration and Dryness

Who should use it: Anyone looking for an instant hydration and radiance boost, especially those with dull or dry skin.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with a known allergy to fragrance components or those with extremely sensitive, reactive skin. This product contains Alcohol Denat., which can be drying for some skin types if used frequently.

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 inner wrist. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the mask on your face.

• Texture: A thin, soft cotton sheet soaked in a lightweight, watery essence.
• Scent: A light, clean, and pleasant fragrance.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling very hydrated, dewy, and looking bright. There may be a slightly tacky feeling initially, which usually absorbs after a few minutes of patting.
• FA/Comedogenicity: Contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be a potential trigger for Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) in susceptible individuals. Individual responses vary.

• "The mask feels too sticky after I take it off." You may have too much essence on your skin. Gently pat for another minute to aid absorption. If it still feels heavy, you can lightly tissue off the excess before applying your moisturiser.
• "My skin feels a little tingly or warm." This can happen if your skin is slightly sensitized. If it's a mild, brief sensation, it may be normal. If it turns into burning or itching, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water.
• "The mask doesn't fit my face well." Sheet masks have a standard shape. Use the slits around the edges to adjust the fit. You can also use clean scissors to snip the areas around the nose or mouth for a custom fit before applying.

This mask is perfectly suited for the Mauritian climate as a refreshing treat.

• Humid Summer: Keep the mask in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before use for an extra cooling and de-puffing effect, which feels incredible on a hot day.
• After Sun Exposure: Use it to soothe and rehydrate skin after a day at the beach. The rice extract and hydrating ingredients help calm minor redness and replenish lost moisture.
• AC/Indoor Air: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, your skin can become dehydrated. Use this mask 2-3 times a week to restore moisture and prevent dullness.

The benefits of this mask are primarily based on Ingredient Rationale.

• Rice Extract: Traditionally used in Asian skincare for centuries. Scientific reviews and component analysis show it's rich in amino acids, antioxidants (like ferulic acid), and minerals. These components are known to help moisturize the skin, improve barrier function, and inhibit some pathways related to melanin production, contributing to a brighter, more even complexion.

No specific clinical trials for this exact mask are publicly available from the brand.

This is a single-use product. At 1-2 uses per week, a pack of 10 would last you approximately 5 to 10 weeks, making it an affordable way to incorporate a weekly spa-like treatment into your routine.

Do I need to wash my face after using the mask?
No, do not wash the essence off. After removing the sheet, gently pat the remaining product into your skin to absorb all the benefits. Follow up with a moisturiser to lock it in.

Can I use this mask every day?
While gentle enough for daily use, it's most effective and economical as a booster treatment 1-3 times per week.

Is the sticky feeling normal?
A slight tackiness is common with hydrating sheet masks due to the concentrated essence. It should absorb after a few minutes of patting. If it persists, you can gently blot the excess with a clean tissue before applying your next skincare step.
