Purifying Green Clay Face Mask for Oily Skin

Formulated to fight breakouts, SKINICIAN’s Purifying Mask is the perfect treatment for acne-prone skin. The Purifying Mask is formulated with a host of key ingredients to not only fight breakouts but leave the skin looking clear and refreshed.  

Formulated with green clay, which is a hero ingredient that draws out impurities and excess oil, this multi-tasking ingredient also refines pores, decongests skin and promotes skin healing. 

Seaweed extract reduces inflammation and increases skin hydration, which is vital for oily and breakout-prone skin, whilst Liquorice extract reduces the appearance of breakouts. This gentle blemish fighting formulation also contains Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Pro-Vitamin B5 to soothe the skin and reduce redness. 

“Using a clay mask has previously had a bad reputation of drying skin out, being hard to remove from skin and leaving skin feeling tight. This acne mask has been specially designed to draw out impurities, balance sebum levels, reduce redness and leave skin looking clear and mattified.” – Hilary McMurray, Co-founder SKINICIAN

What does a purifying mask do?
Purifying Mask draws out impurities and excess oil from deep within your skin's pores to deeply cleanse and refresh. This in turn will help to reduce breakouts.

I don’t have oily or breakout-prone skin but get the odd spot. Can I use the Purifying Mask?
Yes! Because of the anti-inflammatory ingredients, the Purifying Mask is a great spot treatment when dotted directly onto any spot.

Are face masks good for oily skin?
Our purifying green clay face mask is designed for oily skin. Green clay absorbs excess oil and impurities from the skin's surface and the aloe vera soothes and hydrates, making it a balanced treatment for oily skin.

Does the Purifying Mask set and become hard while on my skin?
Our purifying Mask does not set like a traditional clay mask. This makes removing it easier and avoids applying any pressure or causing friction on the skin.

At what stage of my skincare routine should I apply a mask?
When using a mask, you should use your skincare ingredients in the following order: Double cleanse, exfoliator, mask, toner, serum (if you are applying one) and finish with your moisturiser. 

Apply a generous amount to your face and neck in an upward direction, avoiding the eye area. Once evenly applied leave for 10 – 15 minutes. Rinse with tepid water and a face cloth.

For best results: Use two to three times a week ideally after exfoliation, to achieve a clearer complexion

Expert tip: If a spot appears, apply a little Purifying Mask and leave overnight to help draw the impurity out and reduce redness.
