Our organic face masks for sensitive skin
Over half of French people (52%) include skincare products and products for the face in their beauty routine.1 And while it goes without saying that there are countless different products available, face masks are often popular not just for their benefits, but also because they allow you to enjoy some relaxing me-time.
Our gentle, natural face masks for sensitive skin
A face mask is a skincare product that acts deep down, and needs to be left on the skin for a while so the active ingredients can work their magic. This means that when you use a face mask, you can take some much-needed time out for yourself and escape from the hectic pace of your everyday life – even if it’s just for a little while!
What is the purpose of a face mask?
A face mask is an essential product in any skincare routine as it provides targeted benefits for your skin. Unlike the creams and serums that you use every day, a face mask offers a higher concentration of active ingredients so it can treat your skin deep down.
There are several types of face masks:
- Moisturizing masks, specially formulated to intensely hydrate the skin. These masks often have a fresh, light texture, so when you apply them to “thirsty” skin, you can really feel that pleasant quenching effect as they deliver a big moisture boost.
- Cleansing face masks, and particularly those made with clay, are designed to deeply purify the skin. They absorb excess sebum, draw out impurities, and unclog pores, leaving your skin feeling fresh and clear.
- Soothing masks are ideal for calming irritation and reducing redness. Enriched with soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients, they work to repair and strengthen the skin barrier, so they’re a great way to help your skin defend itself better against environmental aggressors.
- Plumping face masks contain revitalizing active ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. They help to restore the skin’s glow and leave it looking younger, firmer and brighter.
Why use a face mask specifically designed for sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin needs specific skincare products in order to limit the risk of skin reactions. Face masks designed for this skin type tend to be enriched with natural soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients. These skincare products help to strengthen the skin barrier, and provide optimal hydration and protection against external stressors. Moreover, when you use face masks specifically designed for sensitive skin, you can effectively target redness, irritation or dryness.
If you have sensitive skin, it’s best to avoid face masks made with clay, zinc or charcoal, as these are generally more suitable for oily and blemish-prone skin. Instead, look for a hydrating face mask with a creamy texture.
What natural ingredients does Absolution use in its face masks for sensitive skin?
Le Masque Riche Réconfortant is formulated with a high-performance duo: cocoa butter and mango butter, both rich in nutrients.
- Cocoa butter contains omega-9 fatty acids, which help strengthen the skin’s hydrolipidic film, and also provides antioxidant polyphenols to fight free radicals.
- Mango butter is rich in vitamins A, B1, B6, C and E, as well as copper, squalene and essential fatty acids. The last two active ingredients promote both collagen production and skin hydration.
| Good to know: cocoa butter is rich in natural active ingredients This plant butter also contains theobromine and caffeine, known for their invigorating and psychostimulant effects. |
These two butters work together to restore the skin’s lipid balance and soothe irritations. But that’s not all this mask can do! The formula also contains kombucha, with powerful antioxidant and moisturizing benefits, so it helps to improve skin’s radiance while stimulating lipid synthesis.
Le Masque Velours Repulpant, meanwhile, contains a blend of youth-boosting active ingredients to deeply moisturize the skin and give a plumping effect.
- Snow mushroom, which originates from China, delivers intense hydration, to restore the skin barrier. This ingredient is said to be 10 times more hydrating than hyaluronic acid!
- Alfalfa, rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals, restores density to the skin and stimulates collagen production, thanks to its Vitamin U content.
Enriched with organic and natural ingredients, these two Absolution face masks are specially formulated to soothe and nourish sensitive skin, while also offering pro-aging and moisturizing benefits.

How to incorporate a face mask into a skincare routine for sensitive skin
Use a face mask once or twice a week, after gently cleansing your skin. Apply evenly over the face and neck, and leave on for 10 to 20 minutes so the active ingredients can penetrate deeply. Then rinse your face gently with warm water before applying a soothing organic toner and organic moisturizing cream.
It goes without saying that the best time to do this is a time when you can relax! That way, it’s not just your skin that will really benefit from the mask’s soothing properties, but also your mind.
There is another way you can use Absolution’s face masks for sensitive skin: keep them on overnight so your skin can soak up the benefits of their active ingredients even more!
