Using a clay mask without drying skin
Clay basics
Rinse with lukewarm water and a soft cloth rather than scrubbing. Follow straight away with serum and a cream while skin is still damp. Once a week suits most people. If yours feels tight afterwards, apply the mask only to the oilier patches across the nose and forehead and leave drier areas alone.
No Dry Skin Here
Clay works by drawing oil and grit out of pores, and it keeps working as long as it sits there. Most people leave it on far too long. With Cape Clay Face Mask, ten minutes is enough. Take it off while the edges are still slightly tacky rather than cracked and grey.
