Benefits
Promise: Cleansing
What does the product description say?
Deeply nourishing, the clay mask has a cleansing effect that lifts build-ups and impurities from your skin for a fresher, revitalised feel.
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (ceteareth-15, oleth-10 phosphate, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
