Depending on your skin type it’s a good idea to incorporate a face mask into your skin care routine every 2-3 days. If you have sensitive skin you may find that you need to use face mask a bit less. There has a been a big move towards sheet mask, which I enjoy, but I can’t help but always return to my usual mask in a jar. Though they last you a good while face mask can still be a bit pricey running you around $69 or more. While I’m a huge advocate for great skincare I’m an even bigger advocate for doing things in such a way that they fit your budget. This is why I was happy to see that L’oréal came out with some great affordable face mask options that incorporate ingredients that can be found in some of the more prestige skincare.
[ad name=”In Content Responsive Ad”]L’oréal Pure Clay Mask is a tailor made facial mask created to beautify skin in ten minutes. I’ve had several friends express that they don’t have time for a long drawn-out skincare regimen so I like that these masks keep your time in mind. The great thing about face mask is that they’re made to draw out impurities from your skin while offering a unique benefit specific to that particular mask. For only $12.99, which is an amazing deal, L’oréal is giving us the option to detoxify, mattify, and refine our skin texture or you can even use all three to target concerns in specific areas.
Each clay mask contains the following:
Kaolinite: Helps to rid the skin of built up unwanted impurities, without stripping away any natural oils. It’s also great for removing excess shine.
Montmorillonite: Derived from the igneous rocks of the smectite family, this creamy to the touch clay swells up when it comes into contact with water. This clay is known for its purifying and rebalancing properties.
Ghassoul: This clay is of volcanic origin. You may know it better as rhassoul, in Morocco women use this clay in poultices for their bodies as well as in their face mask.
Detox & Brighten Mask
Three pure clays plus charcoal remove dirt and impurities and dull skin cells for a more radiant complexion, unmasking purified even healthier looking skin. I’m a huge black charcoal fan as some of you may already know, so this mask has been in heavy rotation for a couple of weeks. There’s something about black charcoal that makes me feel refreshed after use.
Exfoliate & Refine Mask
Three pure clays plus red algae intensely unclog pore-by-pore and exfoliate rough texture, unmasking smooth unclogged skin. I like to use this mask on my cheeks where my pores are a bit more visible. I use this clay mask 3x’s per week mostly for spot treatments.
Purify & Mattify Mask
Oily ladies this ones for you. Three clays plus eucalyptus draw out dirt and excess oil, unmasking clarified refreshed skin. I haven’t seen a huge reduction in oil secretion but I’ve been using this product intermittently a few weeks.
