The Gold & Aloe Combo Mud Mask deeply cleans without irritating the skin and provides a nourishment boost to repair skin damage.

Is a mud mask worth adding an extra step to your skincare routine?

Regular use of a clay mask can provide your skin with a more refreshed feeling. Similar to clay masks, mud masks have purifying and cleansing properties for your skin. While mud masks are not as stripping as clay masks, they can still leave a drying aftertaste for certain skin types (such as dry, sun-damaged, or sensitive skin), especially if left on for too long.

A typical mud mask, which contains a mix of soils, minerals, silts, or clays and commonly sourced from the Dead Sea or volcanic mud, has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. These types exfoliate the skin, cleanse it of dirt and impurities, and clear pores. Plant-based mud also offers the skin purifying benefits of Dead Sea and volcanic mud, but is milder, and therefore more suitable for sensitive skin.

Aside from its ability to suck up and absorb the excess oil, impurities, pollutants, and dirt from the pores, remove all toxins from the skin, and exfoliate dead skin cells, mud also moisturizes and revitalizes tired and dull skin and even repairs damaged skin tissue.
