Tuesdays are for texture shot ✨
It's my first #TextureTuesday & today I'm going to review a Pink Clay Mask from Womeskin. This product was given to me in exchange for a review ❤️
• Packaging
Comes in a pink plastic jar.
• Texture & Scent
The mask consistency is very smooth and doesn't have a very strong fragrance. It goes on pretty easily and dries in a few minutes, but doesn’t leave my face feeling as dry as the Aztec Clay Mask does.
Although kaolin can be naturally pink, this product also contains CI 77491, which reddish iron oxide that might lend some of the “pink” colour in this adorably pink clay mask.
• Ingredients to Highlight
It’s nice that the WOMESKIN Pink Clay Mask includes lots of moisturising, soothing and antioxidant-rich extracts like aloe vera, witch hazel, tangerine peel, lactic acid, artichoke leaf, soybean, White Willow bark (natural source of Salicylic Acid), heartleaf, skullcap root, vitamin E, allantoin and other top-notch ingredients aside from the detoxifying effects of the clay. You’re not just drawing out impurities—you’re replenishing your skin with lots of vitamins and antioxidants.
• Personal Experience and Thought
When I received this product, the packaging was so perfect, so I immediately opened the jar & filled with an amount to be expected. The clay isn't brown, but more of a pinkish mocha. The consistency was great, there's a slight tingle that will lasted about a few seconds, but nothing unbearable & it eventually go away. The brand also has mentioned that initially we may feel a slight tingling when the clay mask activates its natural pore cleansing effect. Not too worry as this lasts only for a few seconds after the mask feels cool.
At first, I was a bit skeptical about using it, because I’ve seen it on Instagram so many times, just scrolling through, I thought it was just another product that didn’t really work for my face. But surprisingly, after scrubbing it off, my skin definitely feels better. It didn't break me out, my skin look a little clearer & look nice the next day (when used at night before bed). I would like to point out that it's best to use it at night time before bed in my opinion to give your skin time. And, in the morning you will notice a smoother feeling. At least I did. Can’t speak for all skin types.
I have severe hormonal acne all over my cheeks & jawline. While this obviously isn't going to treat the reason behind my hormonal acne, it does work wonders on my existing acne. My pores are mostly visible & I have always had a lot of tiny bumps on my face. So after my first use, I noticed my skin was very soft, but not too tight like it had been dried out. It didn’t shrink the size of my pores, but it did make my pores feel really clean.
It also applied so easily with a pleasant tingling sensation on application, drying well & not hard to remove. I also like how easy it's to rinse off with water, not like other face masks that you spend a ton of time rubbing off.
I use it every 3 days & by the third use, the improvement in my skin was so great. I get less oily throughout the day, so I do a quick light blot with a tissue, reapply a sunscreen, add some lip product & I still look fresh faced.
I also notice that this clay mask dries down pretty quickly, so I only this for about 10 minutes. And, I have to say the ridiculously thick layer applied is so unnecessary. A light, thin layer with a couple extra dots on blemishes will more than do the trick & I use a hydration products after to prevent drying. I also use it as a spot treatment over the acne.
All in all, I am completely happy with this clay mask & I even plan to purchase their Double Duty CeraMist later. So, if you're on the fence, give it a shot!
