Neal's Yard Remedies Reviving White Tea Face Mask
Works for
CleansingCetyl alcohol, Cetearyl olivate + 1 moreCleanses gently
“With antioxidant-rich white tea to help counteract the effects of pollutants and detoxifying kaolin clay to draw out impurities, use as a weekly treat for skin that feels cleansed and revived.”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cetearyl olivate, cetyl alcohol, sorbitan olivate) 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.
