🧼 Step 1: Start with Clean, Slightly Damp Skin

Many people dry their skin completely before masking, but this actually reduces absorption.

Immediately after cleansing, the skin’s surface behaves like a sponge—making it easier for active ingredients to penetrate.

Correct technique:

• Don’t fully dry after cleansing

• Leave 5–10% surface moisture

• For sensitive skin, mist with an alcohol-free hydrating spray first
  
  

🫧 Step 2: Choose the Right Material — Adherence Determines Efficacy

Not all sheet masks are created equal.

Different materials deliver drastically different performance:

• Cotton → Limited penetration

• Hydrogel → Slips easily, poor adherence

• Biocellulose (Dermatiq’s material) → Medical-grade contact with 4× higher absorption

Why does adherence matter so much?

Only a tightly fitted mask can create a micro-occlusive environment where:

• Skin temperature increases

• Moisture retention improves

• Actives stay on the surface longer

• Penetration becomes significantly more efficient

This is why biocellulose—first used for medical wound dressings—can conform to every micro-contour and deliver true clinical-grade absorption.

⏱ Optimal Duration: 15–20 Minutes

Leaving a mask on for more than 20 minutes may cause reverse osmosis, where the mask begins pulling moisture back out of your skin.

Step 3: Seal the Essence to Activate Repair

After removing the mask, don’t “let it air-dry.”

You must lock in the hydration immediately with a moisturizer or repairing serum—like placing a lid on a container to prevent moisture from escaping.

Recommended:

• Press remaining essence in with warm hands

• Use an alcohol-free, fragrance-free, barrier-supporting moisturizer

• Apply at night for enhanced results (when the skin enters repair mode)

 Dermatologist-Recommended Frequency

• Sensitive skin: 1–2× per week (repair > hydration)

• Dry skin: 2–3× per week (boost moisture retention)

• Oily skin: 2× per week (pair with oil-control serums)

• Post-procedure skin: As directed by your physician; typically 48–72 hours after treatment (focused on repair)
