French Red + Kaolin Clay Mask

After a long day, our skin tends to feel tired, dull, oily, and ultimately, congested. Our favorite way to purify and detoxify the skin is the grab a bowl and mix up our powder face mask and settle on the couch watching our favorite shows or reading our newest book. Powder face masks force you to take a minute out of your busy routine, slow down, and take place in an activity that is focusing on taking care of YOU. Other than its great ability to make you feel relaxed and at ease, our French Red + Kaolin Clay face mask has many other benefits. French Red Clay is best suited for normal to oily skin types. It has many benefits including its ability to cleanse and remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, leaving your skin looking refreshed and toned with a rejuvenated look. This face mask contains Kaolin, providing many benefits such as preventing acne, managing dry skin, and absorbing any excess oil found on the skin. In fact, Kaolin is one of the most gentle clays used in skincare. Hibiscus is another important ingredient as it has great anti-inflammatory properties to help soothe the skin. Not only this, but Hibiscus encourages a fresher, younger, smoother-looking complexion. The natural acids found in Hibiscus promote the breaking down of dead skin cells to help increase the turnover of cells, which in turn helps to control acne breakouts. 

Since powder masks do not require preservatives, each ingredient in the jar serves a purpose and is not a filler. In other words, you are absorbing every bit of goodness from each ingredient. Unlike pre-mixed products, the crucial ingredients in these masks stay inactive until you add a form of liquid. Some say it's a skin savior in a jar.  On top of this, due to having no preservatives and ingredients still not being activated, it guarantees a longer shelf life, allowing you to use it for more months! In fact, powder masks have the ability that allows you to customize them to your exact needs.
