What it is
A mess-free clay mask stick that combines absorbing clays with Himalayan pink salt and calming agents to clarify the look of pores, smooth the feel of texture, and control shine with a quick application.
Who it's for
- Oily or combination skin dealing with congestion and visible pores.
- Anyone wanting a targeted T-zone treatment without a messy clay application.
- Users seeking quick pre-makeup pore care or end-of-week detox.
Key ingredients (INCI)
- Absorbent clays (e.g., Kaolin/Bentonite) — help draw excess oil and refine pore look.
- Himalayan Pink Salt — supports gentle purifying and skin-feel balance.
- Panthenol/Allantoin — soothe and comfort while masking.
- Humectants (e.g., glycerin) — maintain some hydration to reduce post-mask tightness.
Free-from / texture
- Solid stick format; glides on with a thin clay layer.
- Rinses off cleanly without heavy residue; low oil content.
- Check INCI for fragrance sensitivities; finish is matte-clean after rinse.
How to use & order
- After cleansing, twist up and glide over dry skin on T-zone/areas of concern, avoiding eyes and lips.
- Leave on for 5–10 minutes; do not let it fully dry-crack. Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with hydrating toner/serum and moisturizer.
- Use 1–2 times weekly to start; adjust to 2–3 times weekly if well tolerated.
Conflicts & layering tips
- Avoid pairing with strong acids or retinoids on the same night if skin is sensitive.
- Follow with hydrating and barrier-supportive products to offset potential dryness.
- Patch test if prone to dryness or if you have sensitive skin.
Evidence & notes
- Pore-tightening effects are cosmetic and temporary; consistent use maintains the appearance.
- Clays and salts help absorb surface oil; follow with moisturizer to balance.
- Do not over-dry; rinse before the mask fully hardens to reduce tightness.
Safety
- For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
- Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or compromised skin.
- Avoid using on broken skin or immediately after harsh exfoliation; consult a professional if post-procedure.
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
