Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask | Review

If you love a good clay mask, as do I, then I have a really fantastic, and affordable, one to share with you. Unlike many clay masks that can have a tendency to be drying, Valentia Skin Detoxifying Clay Mask is not. In fact, this mask, with its very lightweight texture, leaves skin hydrated rather than dry, but it is still ultra-efficient in its ability to draw out dirt, oil and impurities.

Simply apply a generous amount to freshly cleansed skin, avoiding the eye area altogether, and let it dry for approximately 20 minutes. As it is drying down it does not pull or irritate the skin, and doesn't cause sensitive skin to itch. I prefer to rinse it off in the shower, as I do with most masks, and my preferred method of removal is to dampen my skin and massage my skin in a circular motion to exfoliate the dead skin cells. Once I rinse my skin I immediately notice that impurities have been drawn out, and dead skin cells have been whisked away. My skin is left clear, radiant, smooth, soft and lightly hydrated. When compared to most clay masks that I have tried over the years, I would definitely say that this is one of the most gentle without sacrificing efficacy.

I suspect that most skin types would benefit from this clay mask,  however, if you have extremely dry skin and do not have a tendency to experience skin congestion, then you might prefer a moisture mask instead of one intended to detoxify skin and cleanse congested pores. For my normal to combination skin, that can be sensitive at times, this is the perfect type of clay mask to get the job done without irritating my skin. It also works exceedingly well as a spot treatment in problem areas, or when breakouts occur.

According to Valentia,

Not your ordinary mask, this clay mask removes excess dirt and oil from the skin caused by makeup, environmental toxins, and everyday contaminants. Kaolin Clay helps pull dirt and oil to the surface, offering a deep cleanse that leaves skin clean and clear. Added Hibiscus and Cranberry Fibers make this mask unique, providing an extra layer of skin exfoliation, leaving skin feeling and looking smoother, and softer. This Detoxifying Clay Mask reverses and clears away skin damage, giving you stronger, firmer and healthier skin.
