Fresh Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask 3.3oz (100ml)

Product Information

My skin feels more moisturized than before and hydrated enough that I don’t have to apply a cream after,” our tester adds. Though, be warned, the formula dries very hard and can be tough to remove. We recommend applying this mask 20 minutes before entering the shower for the easiest rinse off. Indulge your skin with the Tea Elixir Skin Resilience Activating Serum — a rejuvenating serum that enhances skin’s visible resilience to daily stressors. This serum is fortified with niacinamide, which assists in regulating the skin's oil production, as well as ceramide III, for restoring the skin's protective barrier. To use as a face wash, massage a small amount onto damp skin for 30 seconds, avoiding your eyes, and rinse.

Your skin type will dictate the clay mask you should buy, and if you should be using one at all. Clay masks are usually drying, meaning they aren’t great for those with dry or super sensitive skin, according to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Purvisha Patel. This mask has a rich, dark hue. Be careful not to stain your towels during application and rinsing.Bear in mind that, even with oily skin, skipping moisturiser can exacerbate the issue. When your skin is dehydrated, it produces more oil to compensate, potentially causing clogged pores and breakouts. So, make it a point to refresh and hydrate daily for healthier, more balanced skin.

Easy to spread with two fingers, our tester notes that it goes on seamlessly, but does produce a light tingling sensation that isn’t too strong — which might not feel great for those with especially sensitive skin. We also appreciate the formula’s ultra nourishing ingredients that won't leave you dried out like many other clay masks. “It even feels a little moisturizing,” she adds. Frankly, we love everything about this mask – but it’s worth noting that it has a strong peppermint scent. While we think it adds to the overall experience, it may be too potent for some.

Though, she notes that removing the mask was a bit of a hassle. “It required a lot of tugging to fully rinse off and took over five minutes to remove,” she says. For a more seamless removal process, we recommend using a sponge to gently scrub the mask off. Your T-zone comprises the forehead, nose, and chin, and it's this part of your face that's especially prone to excessive oil production and can thus be a hotspot for spots. Grasping the distinct characteristics of your T-zone empowers you to customise your skincare regimen and cultivate a radiant, well-balanced complexion. The most widespread reasons for excess oil production in this area are: Don't get me wrong, I'm all for embracing skin texture, but my pores seem exceptionally large, so I've dedicated many years to finding the best products to lessen their appearance. (Despite what you might have read, pores can't actually shrink—they can just appear to.) And I can safely say the best product out there is a great, hard-working clay mask.

I’m a die-hard face mask stan, but that doesn’t mean I love them all. Some dry in strange ways, others feel barely effective. (If I spent the past 20 minutes looking like Jason Voorhees, there ought to be a good reason for it!) I was wary of the way the Fresh Umbrian Clay mask first looked when I applied it; the Vine of the baby covered in peanut butter came to mind. It has a wet consistency, and I was worried about it drying uniformly. The tube (I tried the travel-size version) helps avoid a lot of mess, however, and the thin texture meant product didn’t build up in weird places on my cheeks or forehead. For this step, we suggest the Umbrian Clay Pore-Purifying Face Mask to purify your skin without leaving it feeling parched. This triple-action face mask can immediately eliminate impurities that might clog pores and spot-treat imperfections, controlling shine and reducing the visibility of large pores in the T-zone. Harsh skincare products: Overuse of abrasive cleansers or the wrong skincare for oily skin can escalate oiliness. Intense cleansers can deprive the skin of its innate oils, provoking a surge in sebum production. The charcoal beads in this formula, intended to detoxify pores, aren’t abrasive. In an ingenious stroke, they actually dissolve and burst into the clay upon application to further draw out dirt and oil. Furthermore, the salicylic acid works to break up acne flare-ups and clarify skin. We do wish it came with some sort of applicator because using hands can get quite messy with this mask. “This is a product that requires care and consistency, but it’s from Rihanna, and she does next to no wrong,” shares our tester. For best long-term results, we suggest using the mask two to three times per week. Fresh masks cater to your skin’s ever-changing needs—no matter your skin type—delivering powerful benefits while feeling good on your skin. Whether your skin is craving soothing hydration, gentle exfoliation, or a lifted look, you’ll get instant and long-term beauty benefits from incorporating masks into your daily routine.

This clay mask boasts a blend of powerfully detoxifying active ingredients (activated charcoal powder and bentonite clay) with nourishing restorative ingredients (shea butter and argan oil) for an overall balancing effect. “The formula is perfect to balance your skin without stripping moisture or being too harsh,” explains our tester. Choosing the best products for an oily T-zone requires finding a moisturiser that is lightweight and non-comedogenic. Emulsions such as our Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Emulsion are especially effective for oily and combination skin types as they deliver enduring hydration without any oily residue.

As I'm sure you can tell, I've spent many, many years of my career trying to find the very best clay masks for minimising the apparent size of my pores. In the process, I've wreaked havoc with my skin thanks to bad formulas—I've had major breakouts, eczema flare ups and even peeling from where I've dried my skin out too much from harsh clay mask formulas. I tried the mask in all of its multi-use ways: As a cleanser, spot treatment, and and as a mask. As a cleanser, it felt okay — my skin felt clean but a little chalky afterward. I also used it that night as a spot treatment. I woke up the next morning and while the zits weren’t completely gone, they were extremely reduced. The redness went away and continued the following day. When managing an oily T-zone, it's vital to use a toner that is gentle on the skin and free of alcohol. Our Rose & Hyaluronic Acid Deep Hydration Toner cleanses skin of impurities, leaving it feeling soft and refined. I’m Umbrian Clay’s No. 1 fan. I’ve talked about it a lot. I am basically its stage mom — I just believe in it so much! Despite a consistent application of retinoid, my chin still likes to surprise me with the occasional pimple when I’m about to get my period.To use as a face mask, apply an even coat on damp skin after cleansing, leave on for 3-5 minutes, and rinse. A close friend of our founders—Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg—suffered from acne for years. While in Italy, she discovered a pure clay in an herbal store, and after a few weeks of daily use, the results were miraculous. Her skin was clarified and so began our founders’ search to find this skin-transforming clay.
