Feeling like your pores are more visible and your skin is constantly shiny in the heat? This mask offers a satisfying deep clean to reset your complexion.

• What it is: A soft clay mask that absorbs sebum and impurities from pores without feeling overly stripping.
• Who it's for: Best suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types concerned with blackheads, whiteheads, and visible pores.
• Key Benefits: Deeply cleanses pores, absorbs excess oil for a matte finish, gently exfoliates with natural BHA, and soothes with Centella Asiatica.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry face to ensure the mask works effectively.
2. Apply THIS PRODUCT: Use the included spatula to apply an even layer, avoiding eyes and lips. Let it dry for 10-20 minutes.
3. Rinse & Moisturise: Gently rinse off with lukewarm water and immediately follow with your favourite hydrating toner and moisturiser to replenish skin.

Note: This is a weekly treatment, not for daily use. If you already own a clay mask, finish that first to avoid waste.

Weekly Use (1-2 times per week):

• Amount: Scoop a sufficient amount with the spatula to cover the face in an opaque, even layer.
• Apply to: A clean, completely dry face. Avoid the delicate eye and mouth areas.
• Method: Spread smoothly over the skin. Wait 10-20 minutes until the mask is dry and you feel a tightening sensation.
• Rinse-off: Gently wash off with lukewarm water, using your fingertips in a light rolling motion to help lift impurities. Follow immediately with your hydrating skincare steps.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? You can apply the mask only to your forehead, nose, and chin.
• Sensitive or dry-leaning skin? Reduce the wear time to 10 minutes and focus on intensive hydration afterwards.
• Want to target a few spots? The mask can be used as a spot treatment on individual blemishes overnight.

Watchouts: A tight feeling is normal as the clay dries, but if it feels painfully tight or starts to crack excessively, it's time to rinse. Leaving it on for too long can lead to dehydration.

Safety: Avoid using on broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a rash or significant irritation occurs. Recommended for teens and adults; not for young children.

This mask is a treatment. Use it 1-2 times per week on non-consecutive days. Do not use other strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHA/BHA serums or scrubs) on the same day.

Example Week (for Oily/Combination Skin):

• Mon: Hydrating Routine
• Tue: THIS PRODUCT (Matcha Clay Mask) in the PM
• Wed: Hydrating Routine
• Thu: Chemical Exfoliant (e.g., a gentle BHA/AHA toner if in your routine)
• Fri: Hydrating Routine
• Sat: THIS PRODUCT (Matcha Clay Mask) in the PM
• Sun: Soothing/Barrier Repair Routine

Rule of Thumb: Give your skin a "rest" day with a focus on hydration and soothing after any deep cleansing or exfoliating treatment.

• Immediately: Skin feels exceptionally clean, smooth, and appears matte. Pores may look temporarily smaller and less congested.
• After 2-4 Weeks (Consistent use 1-2x/week): You may notice a reduction in blackheads and whiteheads. Overall sebum production may seem more balanced, with less midday shine.
• After 4-8+ Weeks: Skin texture appears more refined, and the frequency of breakouts related to clogged pores may decrease. Pores look consistently clearer.

Why use a formulated clay mask, not a harsh physical scrub?

Aggressive scrubbing with coarse particles (like sugar or apricot kernels) can create micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and worsening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in melanin-rich skin. This mask uses fine clays and natural BHA to deeply cleanse pores through absorption and gentle chemical exfoliation, achieving a smoother result with a lower risk of irritation.

• Works Well With: Follow this mask with hydrating and soothing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Centella Asiatica, and Panthenol to replenish moisture and calm the skin.
• Use Carefully With: Do not use high-strength chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, Retinoids) on the same day you use this mask. Alternate their use throughout the week to avoid over-exfoliating and damaging your skin barrier.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, wounded, or actively irritated skin (e.g., sunburn, rash).

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Perfectly suited to absorb excess sebum in the T-zone and deep clean pores.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. Helps manage the clogged pores and excess oil that contribute to breakouts.
• Normal Skin: Good for weekly use, especially on the T-zone, to maintain clear pores.
• Dry & Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. Limit application time to 10 minutes and use only once a week. A patch test is highly advised. Ensure you follow up with a rich, nourishing moisturiser. Individual responses will vary.

Key Actives Explained:

• Kaolin & Bentonite Clay: Natural mineral clays that are highly effective at absorbing excess sebum, oil, and impurities from deep within the pores, leading to a clearer, more matte complexion.
• Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract: A natural source of Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA). It provides gentle chemical exfoliation, helping to dissolve dead skin cells and clear out blackheads and whiteheads.
• Centella Asiatica Extract & Tea Tree Leaf Water: A soothing duo. Centella helps calm irritation and support skin healing, while Tea Tree provides gentle purifying benefits, making the masking process less stressful for the skin.

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ('Fragrance').
• Scent Profile: A fresh, earthy scent reminiscent of natural green tea or matcha. Intensity: 2/5.
• EU Allergens: None explicitly declared by the brand from the standard EU allergen list. However, the term 'Fragrance' can contain undisclosed components. A patch test is always recommended for sensitive skin.

Who should use with caution: Individuals with very dry or sensitive skin, or those with a compromised skin barrier, should approach this mask with care. It contains clays that can be drying and a fragrance that could be a potential irritant for some.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the mask to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Wait 24-48 hours to observe for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or rash.
4. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face.

If irritation occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If irritation is severe or persists, consult a healthcare professional.

• Texture & Finish: A thick, smooth, and creamy paste that glides easily onto the skin. It dries down to a classic matte, tight clay finish.
• Scent: A distinct, natural-smelling green tea and earthy scent.
• pH: Approximately 7.0 - 8.0. This is neutral to slightly alkaline, which is typical for clay-based formulations.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Myristic Acid and Stearic Acid, which can be potential triggers for fungal acne in highly sensitive individuals. Use with caution if you are prone to FA; individual responses vary.

• Issue: My skin feels uncomfortably dry or tight after use.
  Solution: You may be leaving the mask on for too long. Reduce the application time to 10 minutes and make sure to apply a hydrating toner or serum immediately after rinsing while your skin is still damp.
• Issue: The mask is cracking a lot while it dries.
  Solution: This usually means the layer applied was too thick or it has been on for too long. Apply a slightly thinner layer next time and rinse off as soon as it feels dry to the touch, not when it's completely cracked.
• Issue: I'm not seeing a big difference in my blackheads.
  Solution: A clay mask is great for maintenance, but for stubborn blackheads, you may need more consistent chemical exfoliation. Use this mask 1-2 times a week and a leave-on BHA product (like a toner or serum) on alternate days for best results.

This mask is exceptionally well-suited for Mauritius' climate.

• Humid Summers: Use it twice a week to manage the increased oiliness and sweat that can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. It provides a refreshing, deep-clean feeling that's perfect for hot, sticky days.
• Drier Winters / AC Exposure: You may want to reduce usage to once a week or apply it only to the oiliest areas (like the T-zone) to avoid over-drying the cheeks, which can be affected by indoor air conditioning.

The performance of this mask is based on the well-understood properties of its active ingredients.

• Kaolin & Bentonite Clay: These clays are known for their high absorbency, allowing them to effectively draw out excess sebum, oil, and impurities from the pores (Ingredient Rationale).
• Matcha (Green Tea): Rich in antioxidants like EGCG, matcha helps to soothe skin, reduce inflammation and redness associated with breakouts (Ingredient Rationale).
• Willow Bark Extract (BHA): As a natural source of salicylic acid, it helps to gently dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting exfoliation inside the pore to clear clogs (Ingredient Rationale).

• Size: 100g
• Estimated Uses: Approximately 20 applications (assuming ~5g per full-face application).
• Reorder Cadence (1x/week use): Should last about 4-5 months.

Your skin health and satisfaction are our highest priorities.

Can I use this mask if I have dry skin?

It is not ideal for overall use on dry skin. However, you can use it as a targeted treatment on oily areas like the nose and chin for about 10 minutes to help with blackheads. Always follow with a rich moisturiser.

How is this different from a physical scrub?

This mask cleanses pores chemically and through absorption. The clays pull out oil and impurities, while the natural BHA dissolves dead skin cells inside the pore. A scrub uses physical friction with particles to manually remove dead skin from the surface, which can sometimes be too harsh.

Will this mask shrink my pores permanently?

No cosmetic product can permanently change your genetic pore size. However, by keeping pores deeply cleansed of oil and debris, this mask can make them appear significantly smaller and more refined.

Is the tightening feeling bad for my skin?

A mild tightening sensation is normal for a clay mask as it dries and absorbs oil. It should not feel painful or overly constricting. If it does, you should rinse it off, as leaving it on for too long can dehydrate your skin.
