I have tried several types of clays but I still think Pink Clay, specifically the one from Australia, is the best one yet. Though it dries pretty fast and leaves that cracking effect, the thick paste-like cream consistency will turn into this kind of powder-talcum form which is very easy to be rinsed off – no harsh tugging or rubbing. I think the first thing that you will notice once you spread the maks on your skin is its sensational cooling effect. It does not feel like a stinging or freezing sensation, instead, the coolness makes your skin feels much more relieved & soothed – which is kind of unique for a clay mask since they often tend to feel patchy and stripping. Post-rinsing makes my skin super soft because my pores feel much more decongested & clarified. There will be some sort of brightening effect but I would prefer to call it exhibiting radiance because of its temporariness. It is still a great option for people who wants to start with a clay-masking session and if you want to compare this particular mask with other masks that used Australian Pink Clay in their formulations, this most definitely has the best price – such an affordable option!
I think the common disadvantage that I personally experienced from Australian Pink Clay is its weird sweet scent that almost resembles cough syrup. This one has a pretty mild intensity but it still gives me a slight headache which is not cool for someone with a migraine, like me. Also, it dries down pretty fast so this mask is not my go-to for self-pampered time.
Overall, I still think this is a great clay mask and comparatively, one of the most affordable which means more people will be able to have access to this. The way it makes my skin super clarified and nourished is something that I always look for in these kinds of products, so it is a win. A wonderful experience, indeed!
