Whenever I feel like a self care morning, a clay mask isn’t too far away. I love a good clay mask, they reap the best results for me and my skin. But I can tell you right now, there have been many times where I’ve gotten totally distracted and left the mask on for way longer than needed. You know, when it cracks in a million places whenever you make a facial expression? Then you’re left with a bright red, overstimulated face, which ain’t so pretty if you have any kind of public appearances that day.
This is exactly why I’m loving the new Swisse Australian Clay Mask range. Not only can you wear these Australian clay masks for as long as desired without ending up completely red, but they’re also free from sulfates, petrolatums, parabens, any harsh chemicals or preservatives and are not tested on animals.
Swisse just launched 4 different masks, each containing their own unique mix of Superfoods and Australian Clay designed to target different skin concerns. The Matcha Tea and Manuka Honey one’s have been my favorite so far. The formulations are extremely cooling to the skin and don’t dry out my skin like other clay masks have.
