Hey Lovelies,
My skin has been so up and down as of recently due to the weather and me consuming my own body weight in Christmas chocolate. So because of this I decided to reach for my L'oreal pure clay face masks, I use them as a combination to work in unity together to get my skin back to its peak condition.
Now you've probably seen so many posts around the internet about these face masks but I decided to add a new one into the mix that is a pretty new release. Also if you are currently having trouble with your skin recently like myself then maybe these clay masks can help you out too.
Pure Clay Detox Mask
Kicking this off with my favourite of the 4 in my current collection, the detox mask aka 'the grey one'. This mask is my one true love and I mainly focus using it on my chin and jawline area, also the upper lip. This mask is perfect for detoxing your skin of all the impurities it holds. It is enriched with black charcoal that acts as a magnet to draw out all the impurities. Did I also mention all the masks smell gorgeous? I apply it to dry/damp ish skin and let it sit for around 10 to 15 minutes its totally up to you - then I remove with a damp muslin cloth. Each and every clay mask feels utterly smooth and professional on the skin, like a spa day right in your own home.
Pure Clay Glow Mask
Unlike the others in the collection the Glow mask contains tiny exfoliating beads that you can feel when applying to areas you would like to brighten. Its beautiful pink colour comes from red algae that is known for its brightening properties, and apricot seeds to gently exfoliate dull and uneven skin. I tend to focus this one under my eyes (but not too close to cause irritation) and around my temples and cheek bones, where I naturally would like to glow and be bright. Again using this the same way and removing with a damp muslin cloth (mine are from Liz Earle).
Pure Clay Purity Mask
The texture of the purifying mask is a lot thinner and much creamier than the rest. I focus this on the areas where my pores may be large and blackhead areas such as my nose and around and my forehead - the T zone. It is enriched with Eucalyptus extract with is known for its purifying properties. My T zone always feel hydrated and smooth after using this product, ready to apply my serums and night time moisturiser.
Pure Clay Blemish Rescue Mask
Claiming to clear and unclog pores with Marine algae extract. Again this is a thicker texture very similar to the detox mask, I like to focus this on all my problem acne areas, as of lately it has been my chin with a few on my cheeks. This mask always does its very best to calm the spots down, as they definitely appear less red and inflamed after just one use.
Below shows swatches of all 4 of the clay masks I own, from this you can clearly tell what the textures are going to be like and how they vary...
The only one missing from my collection is the pure clay bright mask 'the yellow one' which I also can't wait to try as all 4 have impressed me and my skin so far. Whats not to love about all illuminating properties?
I really hope you have enjoyed this little skincare post and skin update, if you are having problematic skin lately and love some products that help please let me know in the comments as I would love the excuse to by more!
