Pure Mineral Purifying Mud Masque For Oily And Problematic Skin
Works for
Anti-blemishSalicylic acid, Kaolin + 1 moreWorks well
“It acts deeply to root out grime, clear blackheads and prevent the formation of blemishes.”
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: salicylic acid. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
ExfoliationSalicylic acid, Maris sal + 1 moreWorks well
“Cleansing effects are intensified even further as the drying mud traps dead skin cells, which are then eliminated completely.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.
MoisturizingCaprylic/capric triglyceride, Glycerin + 8 moreWorks
“Follow with facial cleanser and moisturizing cream from the Hyaluron series.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, vitis vinifera seed oil.
Anti-agingNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Fortified with hyaluronic acid, tension lines are reduced thanks to more supple skin.”
