The 10-Minute Reset: A Face Mask for Women Who Don't Have 20

Let's be honest about your skincare routine.

The version on your Pinterest board: double cleanse, toner, essence, serum, a 20-minute mask, a gentle facial massage and a cup of herbal tea.

The version that actually happens: you wash your face at 11:47pm, stare at the serum bottle, and fall asleep before it's absorbed.

No judgement. I spent years on a trading floor, and now I run a brand and a household with two kids. My "self-care hour" is usually about nine minutes long, and someone is usually knocking on the door during it.

So we made a mask that fits into the life you actually have. Ten minutes. That's it.

Meet the 10-Minute Reset Mask

Think of it as a power nap for your face.

It's for the night before the big presentation. The morning after a red-eye flight. The Friday when your skin looks like it also attended every meeting this week. Put it on, set a timer, and let it do the work while you do literally anything else.

Why 10 minutes is enough (and why longer isn't better)

Here's a little secret: leaving a sheet mask on for 40 minutes doesn't give you "extra." Once a mask starts drying out, it can begin pulling moisture back out of your skin.

The trick isn't more time. It's a better sheet and a smarter formula. Which brings us to…

The sheet: bio-cellulose, a.k.a. the "second skin"

Most sheet masks are made of cotton or non-woven fabric. They're fine, but they tend to slide around, lift at the edges and dry out fast.

Bio-cellulose is different. It's grown through natural fermentation, and its fibres are incredibly fine. The result is a sheet that:

• Clings like a second skin, hugging your nose, cheeks and jawline with no gaps and no slipping
• Holds a lot of serum, so the good stuff stays against your skin instead of evaporating
• Feels cool and calming, a gorgeous feeling after a long day

Translation: more serum where you need it, in less time. You can also walk around, answer emails or chase a toddler without it falling off. (Tested. Extensively.)

What's in the serum: your 5-ingredient power team

1. Hydrolyzed eggshell membrane: the hero

You know that thin film inside an eggshell? It naturally contains collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, the same trio that keeps skin bouncy. We use it in hydrolyzed form, meaning it's broken down into smaller pieces so it plays nicely in a skincare formula. It's also upcycled, rescued from food-industry waste. Pretty skin, happy planet. Win-win.

2. 15 peptides: the team meeting your skin actually wants to attend

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins like collagen. Most products use one or two. We packed in 15, each one bringing its own strengths. Think of it as a full team instead of one overworked intern.

3. Multi-weight hyaluronic acid: hydration on every floor

Hyaluronic acid comes in different molecule sizes. Big ones sit on the surface and give that instant plump, dewy look. Smaller ones help hydrate the upper layers of your skin. Using multiple weights means you get moisture across the layers, not just a shiny top coat.

4. Niacinamide: the multitasker

Vitamin B3. It helps support your skin barrier, makes skin look more even-toned and brighter, and gives pores a more refined look. It's basically the colleague who quietly fixes everything and never asks for credit.

5. Panthenol: the calm-down friend

Pro-vitamin B5. It soothes, softens and helps skin hold on to moisture. It's perfect after air-con all day, a flight, or a week of too little sleep and too much coffee.

How to use it (the busy-woman method)

1. Cleanse and pat your face dry.
2. Unfold and apply. Start at the forehead, smooth down over your nose and cheeks, and press out any air bubbles.
3. Set a 10-minute timer. Then go live your life: reply to emails, read a bedtime story, or lie down and stare at the ceiling. All valid.
4. Peel off and gently pat the leftover serum into your face and neck. Don't rinse it off. That's liquid gold.
5. Seal it in with your moisturiser at night, or moisturiser and sunscreen in the morning.

Pro tip: Pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes before using. It's extra cooling and extra de-puffing, and it's absolute bliss on a hot Singapore evening.

When to reach for your Reset

• 💼 Night before a big pitch, interview or board meeting
• ✈️ After a flight, because cabin air is not your friend
• 🥂 Before a dinner or event, straight into makeup for a smooth, dewy base
• 😴 After a rough week, when your skin needs a hug and so do you
• 🗓️ Every Sunday night, as a small ritual to start the week feeling put together

Quick FAQ

Can I use it every day? Yes. It's gentle enough for daily use, but most of our customers love 2–3 times a week, plus "emergencies."

Is it OK for sensitive skin? The formula is built to be calming, but always patch-test first if your skin is reactive. Skip it if you have a known egg allergy.

Morning or night? Both. Use it in the morning for a quick glow before makeup, or at night for a full reset while you sleep.

Do I need to rinse after? Nope. Just pat in the leftover serum and follow with moisturiser.

The bottom line

You don't need a spa day. You don't need an hour. You need 10 minutes, one great mask, and permission to sit still.
