The Best Clay Masks For Your Clogged Pores

From gently exfoliating your skin to mattifying your complexion, these are the luxurious clay masks to try out for size now.

by Arissa Ha   /   May 23, 2020

If you have oily, blemished skin or just experience pimples from time to time, these clay masks can help wick away excess shine. Clay masks do a good job at absorbing excess sebum and drawing them out from the pores while gently exfoliating the surface of the skin at the same time. Word of caution, though, in case you get addicted to how fresh and matte the skin feels after a clay mask: don’t use more than twice a week or you will end up drying the skin out. We recommend alternating between a clay mask and a hydrating mask for your bi-weekly mask routine so that skin is properly nourished.

Besides kaolin and bentonite, two types of clay that help absorb excess shine, the Clarifying Clay Masque is also formulated with a gentle hydroxy acid blend to exfoliate the skin. Aloe and camomile extract help to calm and soothe redness.

Don’t be alarmed by the heat when you apply the Hungarian Thermal Water – Mineral-Rich Atomic Heat Mask from Peter Thomas Roth. The mask activates with water, so apply on dry skin first before wetting your fingers and massaging onto skin. The heat temporarily expands pores so that impurities are easily wicked away. The mineral-rich Hungarian thermal water helps to nourish and hydrate skin.

Curcumin, an active ingredient found in turmeric has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to help reduce redness and neutralise free radical damage.

This mineral-rich clay mask also functions as a facial cleanser and a spot treatment. Simply leave it on for three to five minutes before wetting face, massaging gently and rinsing off. To use as a spot treatment, dab the mask on affected areas and wait for the mask to dry completely before rinsing it off.
