Laurel Gentle Mask: Hydrating Recovery

Marshmallow – This mucilaginous and polysaccharide rich root has an incredible ability to hydrate. It is nature’s form of hyaluronic acid, plumping up each cell and wrapping them in what feels like a cooling hug. It is high in B Vitamins and betaine making it soothing, healing, anti-inflammatory, and softening to the skin. It thickens the mask and gives it that gelatinous texture when time is set aside to ‘steep’ the mask like a tea.

Rose – Our vibrant heirloom Rose petals are grown exclusively for us by a California farm. Their vitality and antioxidant content are palpable. Rose is a powerful hydrating humectant and visibly plumps and regenerates the skin. Constituents like B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, flavonoids, anthocyanin, and gallic acid are all found in Rose petals.

Helichrysum – This little yellow flower is as gentle as it is potent. It reduces redness and swelling. Helichrysum strengthens tissues and supports cellular healing activity, and reduces the appearance of scars and broken capillaries.

Pomegranate – This is one of the most beautiful oils that we work with. It is rich and thick by nature, healing to skin barriers that have been damaged over time by inflammation.

Tamanu – There is no replacement for the deep cool green Tamanu oil, a sacred plant medicine that we source directly from growers on a small island off the coast of Australia. It is anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and balancing to our skin’s microbiome.

Reishi – Our Reishi is organically cultivated from the Pacific Northwest and contains hydrating and soothing polysaccharides and B Vitamins. Reishi has a lymph affinity which can decrease puffiness and stagnation. Other notable skin-specific constituents in Reishi are peptides and amino acids.

Apply 1 teaspoon or less of Gentle Mask to mask bowl and trickle a bit of water in with your fingertips to preferred consistency. Using approximately twice as much water as Mask, mix with a brush into a runny paste. Allow to rest and steep like tea for a few minutes. Allowing the Mask to steep will cause it to thicken the jelly-like texture we recommend for efficacy. Once ready to apply, moisten face with water. Apply gently to face and neck with fingertips or preferably a Laurel Skin fan mask brush. Leave on for 10-30 minutes, then remove with a warm cloth. Keep mask hydrated to keep mask active and prevent from drying on the skin. The longer the mask is left on the more frequently it will need to be rehydrated to stay active. Re-hydrate it with a wet brush, wet fingertips, a mister bottle of water, or steam from bath or shower. Use within 12 months of opening and by the recommended use-by date, which is found on the bottom of the jar. Store this product in a cool, dry and dark place. Keep contents of jar dry and free from moisture.
