Learn the correct steps to apply the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream Mask for maximum soothing benefits, plus common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

Use the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream Mask after cleansing and toning, leave on for 10–15 minutes, then gently pat remaining essence into skin without rinsing.

Why prep matters for sensitive skin

Sensitive skin absorbs products unevenly when the surface is dirty or dry. Prepping with a gentle cleanser and a hydrating toner helps the cream mask deliver its soothing ingredients more effectively without irritation.

Timing and frequency

For daily soothing care, use the 345 Relief Cream Mask once a day or as needed. Overusing a mask on already irritated skin can sometimes cause congestion, so stick to one application per day and monitor how your skin responds.

Step-by-step guide

Cleanse and tone: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. Follow with a hydrating toner to prep the skin surface for better absorption. Skipping toner can reduce the mask's soothing effect on sensitive skin.
Unfold and apply the mask: Carefully unfold the 345 Relief Cream Mask and place it evenly over your face, aligning the eye and mouth openings. Smooth out any air bubbles. Avoid stretching the mask too hard; it can tear or leave uneven coverage.
Leave on for 10–15 minutes: Relax while the mask sits. Do not exceed 20 minutes, as the mask can start drying and pull moisture back from your skin. Setting a timer prevents over-drying, especially in dry or air-conditioned rooms.
Remove and pat in remaining essence: Gently peel off the mask from edges. Use your fingertips to pat the leftover essence into your skin until fully absorbed. Do not rinse. Rinsing washes away the soothing ingredients and defeats the purpose of a cream mask.
Follow with moisturizer (optional): If your skin feels extra dry, seal in the mask's benefits with a lightweight moisturizer. For oily or combination sensitive skin, the mask alone may be enough. Layering too many heavy products can clog pores; adjust based on your skin's reaction.
