Step-by-Step Usage Guide for Mask Kit

Estimated total time: 30–45 minutes, depending on mask choice

Step 1: Prep

• Start with clean, washed hands.
  
• Gently dab hands dry using one of the two included towels.
  

Step 2: Lip Prep

• Use the lip scrub and lip scrub brush to gently exfoliate lips. This prepares lips to absorb the lip mask later.
  
• Be gentle but thorough.
  
• Rinse lips with water when finished.

Step 3: Cleanse

• Cleanse the entire face using a gentle cleanser and warm water.
  
• Rinse and pat dry with one of the two included towels.
  

Step 4: Choose ONE face mask from this category

Does your skin feel:

• Clogged pores / oily / congested ? Use Clay mask explained in steps 4 A1 and 4 A2.
• Rough texture / dull skin? Use Eggplant mask in step 4 B.
• Neither of the above?  Skip to Step 5. Do NOT use both in one session.
  

Step 4 A1: If Using the Clay Mask (Advanced option)

To get accurate measurements for this mask, use the included measuring spoon.

• Measure 5 g of the rose & kaolin clay mix.
  
• Add 1 g of apple cider vinegar
  
• Add 1 g of clean water.

Mix using the bowl and spatula until smooth
Step 4 A2: Application

• Apply evenly to the face.
  
• Leave on 5–10 minutes.
• Wash off when skin begins to feel tight or mask starts to dry or crack. Do not let it fully dry.

Step B: If Using the Eggplant Mask

• Apply evenly using the included spatula.
  
• Leave on for 10–15 minutes.
  
• Rinse thoroughly with water.
  

Step 5: Restore Moisture (Important)

Choose ONE face mask from this category.

Does your skin feel:

• Dry, tight, or depleted? Choose a sheet mask.
• Dull or in need of soothing? Choose a tablet mask (which will be mixed with the included Rose Hydrosol).

Step 5A: Sheet Mask

• Apply sheet mask to the face
  
• Immediately apply the lip mask using the included applicator. Apply the mask like lip balm. It should be sufficient, not excessive.
• Leave both on for 15–20 minutes.

Step 5B: Rose Hydrosol Tablet Mask.

Use the included measuring spoon and bowl to get accurate results.

• Measure 5 ml rose hydrosol.
  
• Measure 5 ml clean water.
  
• Mix in the bowl using the spatula.
  
• Place mask tablet into the liquid and allow it to fully expand.
  
• Apply to face for 15–20 minutes.
  

Step 6: Absorption & Massage

• Remove face mask.
  
• Do not rinse your face or lips.
• Gently pat remaining product into skin.

Optional:

Perform light lymphatic drainage or use massage tools (not included) to help encourage fluid movement and improve product absorption. Shop massage tools here.

 

(We explain how to do lymphatic drainage here.)

Step 7: Aftercare

• Once the product is fully absorbed, apply your moisturizer. If you will be going outside, apply sunscreen as the final step. However, this kit is best used in the evening.
• Routine complete.

What to avoid for the next 24 hours

• Avoid exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA).
• Avoid retinoids.
• Avoid harsh scrubs or cleansing brushes.
• Avoid strong treatments or layering multiple actives.
  

Let the skin rest and rebalance.

Sun advice

• Masking can make skin temporarily more sensitive to the sun.
• If you are outdoors the next day, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply as needed, especially in direct sun. This is especially important in hot, high-UV climates like Nigeria.
• To take your sun protection to the next level, shop our sun protection hats.

Common Masking Mistakes

• Leaving clay masks on until they fully crack
  Clay should be washed off when skin starts to feel tight. Over-drying can lead to irritation and rebound oiliness.
• Exfoliating right before masking
  Exfoliation + masking on the same day can compromise the skin barrier.
• Using everything in the kit at once
  This kit is designed for choice, not layering.
• Overusing clay masks
  Clay masks should not be used more than once per week.
• Skipping the hydration step after clay masking
  Clay removes oil and impurities . Moisture must be restored afterward.
• Applying masks to broken or irritated skin
  Masking on compromised skin can worsen irritation.
• Ignoring dilution instructions 
  Apple cider vinegar must always be properly diluted before use.
• Rushing removal or scrubbing aggressively
  Masks should be rinsed off gently without harsh rubbing.
