If you’re a sufferer of oily or acne prone skin like myself, clay-based masks are the way to go. Not only do they help refine your pores, but they also remove excess oils, and calm your skin. When Canadian eco-brand Live Clean announced a new skincare line, I was eager to try their Fresh Face Deep Cleansing Clay Masque. Why wouldn’t I want to use a product that promises to be paraben, silicone, and dye free? The easy-to-apply treatment took a mere 15 minutes, and didn’t leave my skin feeling dry — one of my most common skincare problems. This multi-tasking mask worked hard to leave my sensitive skin feeling soothed (thanks to Chamomile and Aloe) and less oily. The absorbency can be credited to key ingredient, Koalin, which helps to remove dry surface skin and harmful toxins. Now I’m tempted to test out the other seven products in the Fresh Face collection!
