What's in the mask
The mask combines Pure Charcoal, Tea Tree Oil, and Peppermint Oil to clarify and soothe skin. Charcoal helps draw out environmental toxins, dirt, and pore-clogging debris while tea tree supports clearer skin and peppermint gives a cooling sensation. These ingredients work together topically to reduce surface buildup that can contribute to blemishes and irritation.
This add-on is formulated for small treatment zones: Face, Bikini, and Underarm. It is best used to address acne and blemishes, visible redness, scars from previous breakouts, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs by flushing out the debris that traps hair and oil. The service is delivered as a focused 15 MINUTES application to a targeted area.
What to expect during treatment
During your appointment the mask is applied to the chosen area and left to work for a short period within the service's 15 MINUTES duration. Clients typically feel the peppermint’s coolness and a mild tingling from tea tree; sensations vary with skin sensitivity. Technicians will monitor comfort and adjust or remove the product if any strong irritation occurs.
Because the add-on is brief, it fits easily into evening or weekend appointments for commuters coming from Manhattan or nearby Queens neighborhoods. Many clients pair the mask with waxing or schedule it before neighborhood activities like park days or museum visits. Booking alongside other services helps minimize travel and takes advantage of Wax me's convenient Astoria location near Steinway Street corridors.
Aftercare and timing considerations
After the mask is removed, expect skin to appear calmer as surface debris is lifted; reactions are individual and some temporary redness is possible. Use gentle cleansers and lightweight moisturizers until any sensitivity settles and tell your technician about any unusual stinging or prolonged irritation. If you have specific skincare prescriptions, bring that information to your appointment.
If you are allergic to tea tree or peppermint, or if your skin is actively broken or severely inflamed, notify us so we can recommend alternatives. Technicians will check the treated zone and advise whether to proceed immediately after waxing or to wait; this judgment depends on current skin condition rather than a fixed rule.
