Meet mud, your skin\'s new best friend. As Aztec clay masks and Indian clay masks take the skincare world by storm, one can only wonder: how can mud possibly be good for your skin? You can think of the mud in our Dead Sea Mud Mask as a magnet, or even a sponge, drawing impurities like dirt and oil out of your clogged pores for a clearer complexion. When wet, clay swells and binds to impurities and, as it dries, soaks them into its center. These may just be the best face masks for acne for that reason! Mud masks can work wonders when it comes to skincare. As it sits and absorbs into your face, they deliver the skin with valuable nutrients deeper and with higher potency than applications such as serums or creams. Because bentonite clay masks occlude the skin - meaning they provide a barrier between the face and the air so that the product has nowhere to go but into the skin - the penetration of the ingredients is much stronger and faster. Of course, mud and clay masks are also packed with nutrients for your skin. So, as they are drawing out the bad stuff, clay face masks are also supplying you with plenty of the good stuff - mud is packed with nourishing minerals, salts, and natural elements. They\'re highly absorbent for oils and impurities yet gentle enough to ensure that they are not drying. Because they\'re experts at both removing oils and retaining moisture, mud masks are perfect for all skin types, especially combination skin. If you are familiar with enlarged pores, this is due to your pores stretching to hold in the surplus sebum...so get it out! grace & stella\'s Dead Sea Mud Mask just might be the best clay mask out there...but don\'t just take it from us!
