If you follow me on Instagram, then you probably heard about my IG takeover on Cosmedix’s IG stories. I shared my current cleansing and mask routine. In case you missed it (and since you can’t look it up now), I wanted to share with you my new favorite detox mask. Here’s a quick breakdown of the latest mask magic!
What it does: Imagine all that dirt and grime your face absorbs just by going outside. This activated charcoal and kaolin clay-based mask helps draw out those impurities from the pores while leaving a visibly brighter complexion. Also, so we’re all on the same page here… “activated” means it has at one point been heated to up its absorption benefits.
How to apply: Apply a generous amount to clean, damp skin. You can rub in circular motions using your fingertips, or what I like to do is evenly apply the product with a foundation brush. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and then gently rinse with warm water and pat dry. Personally, I like to multi-mask when I’m not relying on a sheet mask. I use this activated charcoal mask on my t-zone (forehead and nose area) and then apply a moisturizing formula on my cheeks and chin (I love this one by Glossier).
What it felt like: It feels like a typical pore cleansing mask. It dries out pretty quickly but it doesn?t feel uncomfortable or sticky.
What I did while I masked: Caught up on the latest IG stories, duh!
The results: Clogged pores no more! Just one application of this activated...
