How do you (really) apply a clay mask?

With its purifying, regenerating and nourishing virtues, clay is a real ally in freeing even the most sensitive skin from impurities. But how do you properly apply a clay mask to reap all its benefits? We tell you all about it!

What are the benefits of clay?

If clay is a real ally in your routine, it's because it offers so many benefits for the skin, it's :

  • Detoxifying : clay can absorb sebum from the skin, eliminating impurities and toxins.
  • Remineralizing : it provides the skin with essential minerals such as magnesium, zinc, calcium and iron.
  • Rebalancing and regenerating : rebalances the epidermis, calms irritation and promotes skin renewal.

Good to know!

 A clay mask hydrates the skin as long as it contains sufficient water. Conversely, if the clay dries out, the mask can dehydrate the skin. Be careful not to let the clay dry out on your face, as this can damage the lipidic (fatty) film that protects your skin. And once the mask has been rinsed off, remember to rehydrate your skin.

How do I apply a clay mask?

  • Take care to apply a sufficiently thick layer all over the face, always avoiding the eye contour and around the mouth. 
  • Leave for about ten minutes.
  • During the application time, rehydrate your mask. To be effective, clay naturally draws on your skin's water reserves, which can dehydrate it. To avoid this, use a lotion such asHydrating Floral Essence Tata Harper.
  • Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry gently with a towel.
