Clear The Way Probiotic Clay Mask

Your skin microbiome is the collection of beneficial bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms that live on your skin's surface. When balanced, these good bacteria protect against bad bacteria, inflammation, and environmental damage. When out of balance (from harsh products, over-cleansing, or antibiotics), you can experience breakouts, sensitivity, dryness, or other skin issues. Probiotics in skincare help support and balance your skin's microbiome for healthier, more resilient skin.

This is actually intentional! The nourishing oils in the formula (almond, macadamia, jojoba, etc.) prevent the mask from drying completely, which protects your skin from being over-dried or stripped. Traditional clay masks that dry completely can be too harsh and disrupt your skin barrier. This mask purifies deeply while maintaining moisture, which is why it stays semi-dry. It's working perfectly - don't worry about it not drying to a tight, cracked finish.

Absolutely! The probiotics are especially beneficial for both sensitive and acne-prone skin. They help balance your skin's microbiome, which can reduce inflammation and prevent breakouts. The pink clay is one of the gentlest clays available, and the niacinamide helps regulate oil and fight blemishes without irritation. Just start with once a week and see how your skin responds.

For most people, once or twice a week is ideal. If you have very oily or congested skin, you can use it twice a week. If you have sensitive or dry skin, start with once a week and adjust based on how your skin feels. Over-masking can disrupt your skin barrier, so more isn't always better.

Apply to clean, dry skin for the best results. The mask will work more effectively, and the clay can properly adhere to your skin when it's dry.

Yes! The niacinamide and probiotics help fight blemishes and support healing. The clay also helps draw out impurities. Just be gentle when applying and removing around any active breakouts - don't scrub or pick.

Nope! Unlike traditional clay masks, this formula contains hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils specifically to prevent drying. You might feel a slight tightening as the clay works, but your skin shouldn't feel stripped or uncomfortable. After rinsing, your skin should feel soft and balanced, not tight.

The hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils ensure your skin stays moisturized while the clay purifies. If you have very dry skin, follow with a rich moisturizer or facial oil after using the mask.

Totally! If you only have congestion in certain areas (like your T-zone or chin), you can apply the mask just to those areas. It works great as a spot treatment for clogged pores or congested areas.

With once-weekly use, one tube should last about 2-3 months, depending on how thickly you apply it. A little goes a long way; you don't need a super thick layer for it to work.

Yes! In fact, the shower is one of the best places to use a mask because the steam helps open your pores, and the mask is easy to rinse off. Just apply it to clean skin before you get in the shower, let it work while you're showering, then rinse it off at the end.
