Jayjun Pollution‑Proof Refreshing Mask Sheet 25 ml — In‑Depth Description & Key Features
This sheet mask is part of Jayjun’s “Pollution‑Proof” line. Its goal is to protect skin from environmental stressors like fine dust, pollution, dryness, and indoor stress, while giving a refreshing dose of moisture and soothing effects. Below is a detailed breakdown of what it is, what it does, what ingredients are involved, who it may suit, and things to watch out for.
What It Is
-
A single‑use sheet mask (usually around 25‑27 ml of essence per sheet) that adheres to the face to deliver active ingredients.
-
Designed for times when skin is exposed to city pollution, fine dust, dry air (e.g. indoor air conditioning), or when skin feels dull or irritated.
-
Defined as "Refreshing" because it aims to revive tired skin, calm irritation, and restore moisture while also offering a protective buffer against external aggressors.
Key Features
-
Dust / Pollution Protection
The mask is formulated to help defend skin against environmental pollutants such as micro‑dust. It includes botanical and engineered ingredients that form a barrier (or help skin resist the effects of these particles). -
Hydration & Moisture Retention
Several humectants and moisturizers are present to draw water into the skin and help maintain moisture. -
Soothing / Calming Effect
Incorporates botanicals and ingredients known to calm irritation, reduce redness, and support skin recovery. -
“Refreshing” Sensation
With cooling or light texture (depending on how drenched the mask is in essence), it gives a revitalizing feel—good for tired or stressed skin. -
Skin Barrier Support
Ingredients that help reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and reduce moisture loss over time.
Key Ingredients & Their Roles
-
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Root Oil — acts as a revitalizer, has some antioxidant properties, helps protect from environmental stress.
-
Ectoin — a molecule known to protect cells from stress (temperature, dryness, pollutants), helps stabilize skin and soothe irritation.
-
U Active P8 — a proprietary or branded ingredient claimed to help soothe skin.
-
Humectants such as Glycerin, Betaine, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) — for drawing in moisture and keeping skin hydrated.
-
Plant Extracts — Centella Asiatica, Peony Root, Burdock, Goldenrod, Propolis, Rosemary Leaf, etc. — many of these have anti‑oxidant, soothing, anti‑inflammatory effects to protect and calm the skin.
-
Skin‑smoothing agents & barrier first‑aid — Allantoin, Polyglutamic Acid, etc., which help with texture, smoothness, and retaining moisture.
What You Can Expect / Benefits
-
Immediately after use: skin feels more hydrated, looks a bit more radiant, fresher. The mask helps reduce the feeling of dryness or tightness.
-
After multiple uses: improved tolerance to environmental stress (less redness from pollution, less dryness), smoother texture, more even skin tone.
-
Good for when you’re feeling exposed to pollution, doing commuting, or staying indoors in dry conditions—can be a rescue mask.
Who It Best Suits
-
Urban dwellers or people frequently exposed to pollution, dust, smog.
-
Skin that is normal, dry, combination or dull.
-
Tired, stressed or irritated skin that needs soothing and moisture.
-
People who want a light‑weight treatment rather than something heavy or occlusive.
Possible Drawbacks / Things to Watch Out For
-
Contains fragrance / parfum — these can irritate very sensitive skin,
-
Uses some alcohol (in some variants or ingredient lists) which might sting or dry out sensitive or barrier‑compromised skin.
-
Some people find mask essence a bit sticky after removal, depending on skin type.
-
Does not replace long‑term treatments (for hyperpigmentation, serious barrier damage, etc.) — it’s more of a supportive, supplemental treatment.
How to Use
-
After cleansing and toning, apply the sheet mask and smooth it down onto clean dry skin.
-
Leave it on for about 10‑20 minutes, but avoid leaving it too long once the sheet starts drying (as it can begin to pull moisture back from the skin).
-
Remove sheet, gently pat the remaining essence into skin until absorbed.
-
Follow with your usual moisturizer or cream to seal in benefits.
-
Use maybe 1‑2 times a week or more often during pollution spells or dry weather.
