Green masks

For those of you who may have suffered damaged skin from the black mask craze, where glue and solvents pasted on the face supposedly eradicated blackheads, let’s remind ourselves of the classic remedies…

To purify your skin, all you need is a good old green clay mask. Rich in selenium, potassium, iron and zinc, green clay is a special substance formed by layers and layers of sediment accumulated over years.

Rich in oligo-elements, it offers many benefits for the skin. It is highly absorbent, regulates sebum excess, eliminates impurities and reduces shiny, oily skin. It is particularly sworn by among sufferers of acne and hyperseborrhea for its cleansing and healing properties.

And while some are lucky enough to be able to collect their own green clay from the sea, don’t worry if you can’t – it’s easy enough to find at the pharmacy in powder, crumbled or ready-to-use paste form.
