4 Simple Ways to Clay Mask

Help! Why is My Clay Mask, not Clay Mask-ing on My Skin?

Have you ever felt like your skin is so dry that it could crack after applying a clay mask? Or have you ever wondered why your clay mask doesn't seem to be removing all of your blackheads and whiteheads?

The truth is that clay masks can absorb too much of your skin's natural oils when you don’t apply them correctly to the skin.

Losing too much of your natural skin oils during skincare can lead to dehydration while damaging your skin barrier, and that my Featured one is a skincare routine RED FLAG.

By following the right techniques and tips in applying clay masks during your skincare routine, you can unlock amazing benefits such as minimizing your pore size, exfoliating dead skin cells, improving skin texture, removing blackheads and whiteheads, helping reduce acne and breakouts, and support the skin barrier.

Let’s explore how to use the Vitassie Vita Mellow Cushion Clay Mask correctly!

1. Let’s get CLEAN

We all tend to get right into our skincare routines by cleansing our face without preparing our pores prior to applying skincare products. The secret to the perfect start for a skincare routine is to press your face into a warm towel. It sounds relaxing and takes you on a skincare retreat, as it relaxes your facial muscles and relieves tension. This will also boost blood flow and stimulate sebum production. Hence, it will open up your pores! This is everything you want before you start your skincare routine, allowing your skin to absorb all of the benefits of our skin-loving products.

Then continue the process by applying our Vitassie PH Balancing Mild Foaming Cleanser as it refreshes your complexion and offers a gentle yet thorough cleanse while preparing your skin to absorb the following steps.

2. Apply FEAT BY YOU ViTassie Pure Mountain First Care Toner

Give your skin a quick refresh with a gentle and alcohol-free toner. Applying toner will also create a smooth canvas on your skin while removing any dirt, pollution, bacteria, and other impurities that may have been left behind.

Our Vitassie Pure Mountain Water First Care Toner has a very gentle, lightweight, and slightly viscous texture that is very fast-absorbing. Hence, this toner will leave your skin feeling smooth and refreshed, ready to soak up all the goodness of the clay mask!

3. The Fun Part: Apply FEAT BY YOU Vita Mellow Cushion Clay Mask

This is where the skin party starts! We love the Vita Mellow Cushion Clay Mask because it is catered for most skin types. Let’s see how it works! Clay masks should be applied uniquely according to your skin type to avoid any damage to the skin.

For dry to normal skin: use a thin layer covering the face.
For Combination skin: it is best to apply a thin layer on your cheeks, forehead, and chin, and a thicker layer on your oily T-zone.
For Oily skin: A thick layer all over is recommended.

Hot tip: Try to keep your facial expressions minimum while it’s on—we don't want any unwanted wrinkles!

The true beauty of the Feat By You Vita Mellow Cushion Clay Mask is that it can be used in two ways, you can either use it as an exfoliant and in circular motion gently massage the face and allow the tiny granules from the apricot seeds to work its magic by lifting and buffing away skin cells, rough patches and uneven skin texture.

The alternative application would be to sit back and relax after applying the clay mask to your face, while the clay mask does its job! Leave the clay mask on for around 10-15 minutes to prevent drying out your skin.

Our FEAT BY YOU Vita Mellow Cushion Clay Mask has the most powerful and effective clays: Kaolin and Bentonite. Kaolin clay is one of the gentlest clay available in beauty products, making it perfect for sensitive skin. It's renowned for its ability to absorb impurities and excess oil without using synthetic surfactants. As for Bentonite, it is known as a healing clay due to its soothing power while making your skin appear firmer.

4. Lock the Vitassie Goodness in!

Locking in all of your skincare goodness is key! For all skin types, we started by opening up the pores for optimum absorption, we then applied the skin-loving ingredients and goodness to the skin to allow for the stage of tackling the skin concern and nourishing it in the process. The last step is to always lock in the hard work the ingredients have completed on the skin for the ultimate soothing and long-lasting effects.

Our Vitassie Vita Cica Refreshing Gel Cream is known for its hydrating and skin repair properties. Its gel-like smooth texture melts into the skin when upon application. It boosts moisture retention and plumps the skin whilst also maintaining the skin balance. Providing long-lasting comfort.

Our hot tip: Is to re-apply the Vitassie Pure Mountain Water First Care Toner prior to the final step of locking in the moisture for the fresh feel with the moisturiser. The Toner contains Pure Tasmanian Mountian water containing the richest blend of minerals and antioxidants.
