Detox Face Mask

French green clay

French green clay is one of the best clays for a face mask for oily skin. It absorbs excess oil and gently exfoliates your skin, leaving it feeling clean, refreshed and glowing. Helps to keep pores clean and free of blackheads.

Matcha green tea  

This potent anti-inflammatory helps reduce redness associated with inflammatory skin conditions like acne. It also promotes rejuvenation of skin cells, leaving the complexion feeling and looking refreshed.

Chamomile

Chamomile is a naturally antisepic and anti-inflammatory, helping to both reduce and soothe acne breakouts.

Aloe vera

Adds a cooling quality to the mask and helps to soothe acne inflammation and skin redness. It has antibacterial and antiseptic qualities and improves wound healing, helping acne heal quicker.

Face mask for oily and acne prone skin

French green clay and bentonite clay are the best clays for oily skin as they have strong absorbent properties, allowing excess oil to be removed from the skin.

Antiseptic botanicals chamomile and aloe vera help reduce acne-causing bacteria.

Soothing botanicals matcha green tea and aloe vera help calm and reduce redness and inflammation caused by acne.

Aloe vera has healing properties, helping acne wounds heal  quicker, reducing scarring.

Palmarosa essential oil has more than an aromatherapy function, it is an aromaceutical that have an effect on the skin too. It helps balance oily skin and studies show that it has the potential to be an effective antioxidant in acne management.

Dead skin cells stick to the clay and are removed, leaving the skin feeling super soft.

Face mask for blackheads

Clay also removes excess sebum, unclogging pores and minimising blackheads.

Clay powder face mask

Please note that our masks are packaged in powder form to maintain a good shelf life without the need for preservatives. The ingredients are activated when mixed with a small amount of water, which means every time you mix up a mask it is fresh and active.

How to use a clay mask

Mix one medium heaped teaspoon of powder with approximately two teaspoons of water to create a smooth paste. Apply to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Gently remove with a wash cloth and warm water. Follow with our soothing face oil or face cream for a balanced skincare ritual.

How long do you leave a clay mask on your face?

It's best to leave a clay mask on for 10-15 minutes. You want it to start drying but not dry out so much that it starts cracking and feeling tight. Leaving it on for too long will make it difficult to remove and it may leave your skin feeling dry.

How often should you use a clay face mask?

I recommend you include this face mask in your skincare ritual once a week for best results. 

This mask does have a slightly earthy aroma due to the natural clays and botanicals.  You’ll also smell fresh, grassy, citrus and soft floral notes.

Palmarosa essential oil has uplifting, mood boosting properties. It’s aroma can help you feel comforted in times of stress, anxiety or irritability.
