A clay-based masque for congestion, built on the two things that reliably help breakout-prone skin: something to absorb excess oil, and something to gently clear the surface. Kaolin clay does the first, yogurt-derived lactic acid does the second.
Tea tree adds the antibacterial element and cucumber keeps the whole thing cooling, which matters on skin that is already inflamed.
Who it suits
Oily to normal skin, especially acne-prone. If your skin is dry or sensitive as well as breaking out, use it only on the congested areas rather than the whole face.
What is in it, and why
- Kaolin clay — cleans and softens the appearance of skin
- Yogurt — a source of lactic acid; moisturises and feels cooling
- Tea tree oil — essential oil
- Cucumber — tones the appearance of skin
- Calendula — soothes and nourishes; promotes repair
- Stone crop — hydrates and calms the look of redness
How to use it
Apply to cleansed skin, leave for the time stated on the pack, then rinse. Twice a week is plenty — clay masques used too often will dry skin out and trigger more oil, not less. It also works well applied only where you are congested.
