What does a clay mask do?

Question

i mean...can it hold my oily skin for at least 8 hours if i buy clay mask designed for oily skin?

Answer 1

Clay masks absorb oil & can tighten pores a bit.

How effective it is and how long it lasts depends on the brand of mask and how oily your skin is.

Clay masks are great for super deep cleansing - so cracking if you have oily skin as they draw out deep down impurities and help mop up excess oil but they could be a bit much if you have dry skin. A clay based mask that's good for all skin is Eve Lom's Rescue Mask

Answer 4

Clay mask Will remove oil, exfoliate dead skin, draws impurities from your pores, tightens skin and pores, but it will not hold oil from your skin. You will need an oil absorber that absorbs oil for eight hours, like Mary Kay Oil Absorber.

Answer 5

clay masks are designed to open up the pores and rid them of oil and dirt. i use them sometimes.
if you want to tighten you pores then use toner

Masks have been used for skin clarification for thousands of years. In essence, you put a layer of 'sticky stuff' on your face, whether it's clay, gel, or other combinations. Because it has a bit of stickiness to it, and is mostly liquid goo, it squishes down into your nooks, crannies and pores of your face, connecting with all the dirt and grime hiding in there. As the goo dries, it pulls away from your skin, and it pulls all of those impurities and dead skin cells with it. This is sort of like if you took tape and pressed it against a linty sweater - when you lifted the tape, all that lint would stick to the tape and lift away with it.

When you then wash off the dried up goo, you also wash away all that old oil, dirt, grime, etc that was buried deep in your pores. You wash away the dried dead skin. That leaves you with fresh, clean, non-oily skin. The masks tend to have a good amount of water in them so as they dry, your skin is being hydrated, which is a good thing. Your pores, now clean of junk, can close up and be nice and small, giving your face a smoother appearance. Your blood vessels tend to open up a bit with this warmth, which means they do a much better job of bringing nutrients to your skin and removing toxins and impurities.

So in general a face mask is VERY good for your skin - not just from a beauty standpoint (fewer acne problems, cleaner pores, smaller pores) but also from a health standpoint. Your skin is literally how your body keeps infections and virusses from entering your body, so the healthier your skin, the healthier you are.

Directions for use
Mix 1 1/2 teaspoons Cleansing Clay Mask with equal amount of water. Cleanse skin, then apply mask liberally to the face avoiding the eye area. Oily and blemished skin: leave on for 10-15 minutes, once of twice a week. Dry or normal skin: leave on 5-10 minutes, once a week or twice a month. Sensitive skin: leave on 2-5 minutes, once a month. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use mornings or evenings.^^ for cremesssssss not orginal thing (got it from a cream)

Background

Throughout history, clay (argillaceous earth), has been used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes and is the single most used natural health remedy in France today. As a cleansing mask, it increases blood circulation and oxygen flow, helps tissue to repair and regenerate, can be used in the treatment of acne, skin eruptions and eczema, or as an alternative to talc in baby care. In the bath it cleanses and detoxifies the skin, leaving it smooth and silky. It is antiseptic, healing, remineralising and rebalancing, especially for dry sensitive skin. Eczema sufferers report excellent results from the use of clays. Beauty and the bees face masks can also be used as body masks/wraps.
