Their effectiveness is based on ingredients such as clays, plant extracts or charcoal.

How to apply a purifying mask?
To apply a purifying mask, start by cleansing your face to remove all traces of makeup and impurities. On clean, dry skin, apply a thin layer of the mask, avoiding the eye and lip area. Leave on for between 5 and 15 minutes depending on the instructions, until the mask is dry to the touch. Then, rinse gently with lukewarm water, massaging in circular motions or using a damp towel. Finish with your day or night cream to restore hydration to the skin!
How often should I use a clay mask on the face?
The frequency of use depends on your skin type and its needs. For combination to oily skin, a clay mask can be used once or twice a week. For normal to dry skin, limit to once a week maximum to avoid drying the skin. The secret? Listen to your skin and adapt according to its condition!
