About this deal
The clay had dried down incredibly and it’s slightly sticky pastey texture only went further to solidify it to the skin – and removing with water and a flannel alone wasn’t really cutting it – I had to get out my Magntione cleanser brush to really manage to shift it from every pore it had manage to attach itself too. Not only that, but bentonite has a negative ionic charge and thus can attract things with a positive charge. Whenever I start seeing sudden breakouts forming around my nose and cheek area, I immediately reach for this mask.
A physical/inorganic sunscreen with pretty broad spectrum (UVB and UVA II, less good at UVA I) protection and good stability. The effect is similar to any good clay mask i have tried and if you have oily, combination skin you will love it.Rolled Oats: Ground rolled oats are a great at-home product to use for both exfoliation and skin nourishment.
One day I will eventually try them all but for now my two newest ones are the Manuka Honey+Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask and Cleanser and the Avocado+Oatmeal Clay Mask.A 2009 review article about the safety of nanoparticles summarizes this, "to date, in-vivo and in-vitro studies have not demonstrated percutaneous penetration of nanosized particles in titanium dioxide and zinc oxide sunscreens". MAS also gives nice sensory properties, it is not tacky or sticky and gives a rich, creamy skin feel. After a short while, like say 10minutes, the clay started to dry up, and well it cracked like that picture. The mask is enriched with avocado and oatmeal, known for their moisturizing and soothing properties. Treat yoself with this Homemade Oatmeal Avocado Facemask that not only hydrates, but exfoliates your skin.
