Product Information

We traced the origins of this seemingly miraculous clay to the small Italian town of Nocera Umbra, the sole source, and learned that it is rich in minerals that help to purify and balance the skin. It has been the basis of therapeutic treatments for centuries.”

Your personal data is processed automatically by FRESH for the purposes of sending personalized communications from FRESH. If you are prone to dryer skin but suffer from clogged pores or acne flare-ups and are wanting to experiment with a clay mask, look for ones that also contain nourishing ingredients like oatmeal ( Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask is an excellent option) or hyaluronic acid (try Glow Recipe Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial Mask). Licensed esthetician and acne specialist Jessica Clarke Higgins also reminds us to follow up any clay mask with your standard moisturizer to avoid over-drying. Make sure you don’t use this mask if you’re in a hurry, though, because it’s meant to be left on for 15 to 20 minutes — we recommend saving it for low-key self-care nights.

Though, she notes that removing the mask was a bit of a hassle. “It required a lot of tugging to fully rinse off and took over five minutes to remove,” she says. For a more seamless removal process, we recommend using a sponge to gently scrub the mask off. Fresh masks cater to your skin’s ever-changing needs—no matter your skin type—delivering powerful benefits while feeling good on your skin. Whether your skin is craving soothing hydration, gentle exfoliation, or a lifted look, you’ll get instant and long-term beauty benefits from incorporating masks into your daily routine. The mask also reduces shine and makes skin feel overall fresh, qualities that our tester attributes to the micro exfoliants. “The mask completely extracts dirt and oil from my face, and leaves my skin feeling fresh and so bouncy,” she adds. As a bonus, this is one of those masks that provides results that only get better with long-term use. Specifically formulated for melanated skin tones, but recommended for use by all skin tones and types, the smooth consistency and easy application set this product apart. Easy to spread with two fingers, our tester notes that it goes on seamlessly, but does produce a light tingling sensation that isn’t too strong — which might not feel great for those with especially sensitive skin.

Harsh skincare products: Overuse of abrasive cleansers or the wrong skincare for oily skin can escalate oiliness. Intense cleansers can deprive the skin of its innate oils, provoking a surge in sebum production.Indulge your skin with the Tea Elixir Skin Resilience Activating Serum — a rejuvenating serum that enhances skin’s visible resilience to daily stressors. This serum is fortified with niacinamide, which assists in regulating the skin's oil production, as well as ceramide III, for restoring the skin's protective barrier.
