Soft Rituals Collection: Part II — The Ritual of Calm (I’m From Mugwort Mask)

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I love pampering myself before a long week begins by preparing a hot bath, putting on some music, tying my hair up and starting with a double cleanse. Afterwards, on my clean face, I try to apply an even layer of my mask with a spatula. The first time I did that, the process was an absolute comedy. Really messy, uneven and with a generous amount ending up in my nose. My reflection looked more like Jim Carrey in The Mask than a calm spa influencer. Five minutes in, I caught myself attempting his choreography to “Cuban Pete” in the hallway mirror “So if you like the beat, take a lesson from Cuban Pete, and I’ll teach you chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky-boom!” It wasn’t graceful, but it was liberating and oddly relaxing. And then I was ready to slip into my bathtub just to relax more.

The I’m From Mugwort Mask might be designed to calm the skin but in my bathroom it turned into a small comedy act, a blend of skincare and laughter therapy. There’s something wonderfully human about a product that lets you feel silly and soothed at the same time. Its earthy scent and herbal texture make you grin before you even realize how soft your face feels. It’s not about perfection but mostly about joy in the process. Sometimes the best kind of self-care is the one that makes you laugh at yourself while your pores thank you quietly in the background.

Main Ingredient

• Mugwort Extract (Artemisia Princeps, 2.1%) — a Korean botanical known for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. It helps calm redness, balance sensitive skin and strengthen the skin barrier.
• Panthenol & Allantoin — moisturize and support skin recovery, leaving a soft and comforted finish.

Mugwort has been used in traditional Korean remedies for centuries not only for the skin but also as a calming herb for the body. It feels fitting that this mask continues that legacy: care that goes beyond the surface.

Texture & Experience

Cool, gel-like, and slightly herbal in texture, it glides on smoothly and soothes instantly. The scent — a soft, green earthiness which feels like walking through a quiet garden after rain. After washing it off, the skin feels calm, supple and rested. It’s not a mask that transforms; it’s one that teaches you to pause and maybe to dance a little while waiting.

Verdict

This is a mask for those who don’t chase intensity and who prefer restoration over reaction. It’s especially comforting for sensitive or stressed skin, bringing balance without stripping or tightening. For me, it became part of my Sunday ritual: ten minutes of stillness, laughter and herbal quiet.
