This is a winner in my books, I’m acne prone combination, and this does wonders for me. I currently started a medication for acne which has dried out my skin on my whole body, in combination with a high strength tretnoin. I use this once a week to remove impurities and do a clean out of pores. Everything else I use including sunscreen is extremely hydrating and barrier creating, so I use this gentle non drying mask. Smells like basil/pesto which reminds me of home. I gently wipe off with a soft microfibre wash cloth after about 15-20 mins, to aid in some extra exfoliantion and then pile on my hydrators. Pro tip, keep it moist on the skin with a thermal spring water such as Avenes. This avoids over drying of the clay and therefore your skin. And also, apply a thick layer.
