Questions and answers
What makes Éminence Calm Skin Arnica Masque a great fit for dry skin?
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for dry skin?

What does Arnica Montana do for dry skin?
Arnica Montana helps calm irritated dry skin and reduce swelling, but it does not add moisture. A dry skin routine also needs rich ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to keep skin soft and smooth.
What does Shea Butter do for dry skin?
Shea butter helps dry skin feel soft and smooth by protecting the skin barrier and keeping moisture locked in. It is very safe for regular use and is unlikely to cause irritation when applied to dry or sensitive areas.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This mask goes into a weekly routine for dry skin after the makeup remover and cleanser, followed by a treatment and a moisturizer.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your routine, but avoid applying it on the exact nights you use retinol to prevent irritation from its exfoliating ingredients. Use it on your weekly mask day after cleansing, and follow with your regular treatment and moisturizer.
How often should I use this mask?
This mask is a great fit for your dry skin and is meant to be used weekly as part of your routine. It helps keep your skin soft and calm by adding deep moisture and soothing irritation.
