Soothing Clay Mask

What it does

• Draws impurities out of the pores
• Absorbs excess oil and shine
• Calms and soothes the skin
• Helps skin look clearer and more refined
• Rinses off easily with no chalky residue

Who it's for

Normal, combination, and oily skin, and anyone with congestion, clogged pores, or breakouts.

Why a clay mask that doesn't over-dry?

Clay is wonderful at soaking up oil, but many clay masks leave skin feeling tight and stripped. That tight feeling isn't a sign the mask is working. Over-drying can leave skin irritated and uncomfortable, which makes it harder to stay consistent with your clear-skin routine. With glycerin to help hold in moisture and witch hazel to soothe, this mask gives you the oil-absorbing benefits of clay while leaving skin calm and comfortable.

Key ingredients

• Bentonite, kaolin, and illite clays: mineral-rich clays that absorb oil and lift out impurities.
• Charcoal powder: helps draw out pore-clogging debris.
• Glycerin: keeps skin hydrated so it doesn't feel tight.
• Witch hazel: tones and soothes.

How to use

Apply an even layer to clean face and neck. Leave on 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Use 1 to 2 times a week, or as directed by your esthetician.

Building your routine

Use the mask once or twice a week in the evening:

1. Cleanse with a gentle cleanser like Ultra Gentle Cleanser.
2. Mask with Soothing Clay Mask for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse.
3. Tone with Calming Facial Toner.
4. Hydrate with a lightweight moisturizer such as Hydrabalance Hydrating Gel.

If your skin is feeling especially dry, try alternating with the deeply hydrating HydraCalm Mask.

Esthetician tip

A clay mask the day before a special event can help skin look clearer and less shiny. Ask us at your next appointment how often to use it with your current routine.
