Detoxifying masks are an excellent way to help combat breakouts, unclog pores, and give skin an overall fresh glow. Detoxifying masks work by creating a negative electric charge that attracts and binds positively charged toxins that have collected within skin cells (1).
Start off each week by cleansing and toning your face before applying a detox mask once or twice weekly, followed by toner and serum applications and finishing up with non comedogenic moisturizer like our H2 Oh Yeah!.
Blackheads
Blackheads form when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells that become trapped within, then turn black due to oxidization. Though mild in terms of severity, blackheads still leave your complexion looking unattractive and flaky.
Detoxifying face masks offer an effective solution, designed to unclog pores and prevent breakouts. Select ones containing powerful pore-clearing ingredients like sulfur and charcoal for oil absorption, salicylic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells, and clays to shrink pore size.
This formula features powerful clarifying ingredients (kaolin and bentonite clay) alongside shea butter and argan oil to gently exfoliate without overdrying your skin. Our sensitive-skinned tester noted it left her skin feeling extremely clean after rinsing, and noted fewer blackheads after regular usage.
Whiteheads
Whiteheads form when excess oil and dead skin cells clog pores around the nose or forehead. A detoxifying mask containing salicylic acid or clay will help dissolve this buildup and prevent future clogs.
If you have stubborn whiteheads, a pore-clearing scrub with exfoliating beads is an effective way to clear them. Another option would be using products containing benzoyl peroxide such as Glytone Acne BPO Clarifying Cleanser or other wash-off treatments that contain this ingredient.
If at-home remedies fail to deliver results, a dermatologist’s assistance may be required for more severe cases. Discuss all available solutions with them for best results.
Breakouts
Breakouts can be a telltale sign of impurities and clogged pores, so this mask was created to break down excess oil and impurities and help prevent future breakouts for calm, clear skin.
Activated charcoal and botanicals combine with this mask’s water-activated formula to combat blemishes while purifying pores for an overall clear complexion. Ideal for combatting blackheads, ingrown hairs and other blemishes.
This detox face mask harnesses the power of French green clay to unclog pores, dissolve excess sebum, dead skin cells and other toxins, while supporting your skin’s microbiome with prebiotics such as Yarrow, Self Heal and Chamomile as well as Willow Bark Extract to visibly minimize pores.
Tightness
If your skin feels tight and uncomfortable, it could be an indicator that your pores have become blocked up. A detox mask designed specifically to clear pores will restore a healthy glow back into your complexion.
This relaxing clay mask gently cleanses without overdrying your skin, leaving it refreshed and smooth. Furthermore, it helps reduce inflammation while eliminating toxins to minimize pores.
If you’re using this detox mask as part of a larger skincare regime, make sure to exfoliate first to prepare a clean surface for cleansing products to work their magic on. After exfoliation is complete, mix all the ingredients to form a paste and apply to clean skin for 20 minutes; rinse off and pat dry afterwards.
Dry Skin
If you suffer from dry skin, detox masks may provide the solution. Their hydrating ingredients help replenish the outer layers of skin while simultaneously plumping it and firming its structure while improving texture and tone.
Hyaluronic acid and rose extracts can provide nourishment and moisturization, while charcoal and clay detoxifiers draw out impurities and excess oil from your pores.
