Add These Masks To Your Weekly Detox Ritual

Investing in self-care is crucial to your wellness. When life gets too busy, taking a few moments to do something for yourself can nourish the soul. One of our favourite ways to unwind is to put on a face mask. On days when we feel particularly grimy, however, and our skin starts showing signs of being overburdened by heavy makeup and city stress, not just any sheet mask will do. For these, we turn to a good detox mask to cleanse our skin. Here we round up some of our favourite detox masks that help restore our skin back to health.

Perfect for sensitive skin, First Aid Beauty’s detox mask promises to deliver pro-level results in just 20 minutes. Its main ingredient, red clay, draws out impurities from deep within pores and reduces pigmentation caused by congestion. Unlike most detox masks that are washed off after use, this one is peeled off to reveal smoother, softer, more refined skin with visibly diminished pores.

When it comes to detoxifying mud masks, GLAMGLOW is a current leader. This clinically developed clearing treatment combines a potent mud formula with a blend of six acids to brighten up the complexion. The added Activated-X charcoal addresses skin congestion by lifting away dirt and oil. Sensitive skin types should be cautious, however, as this contains a mix of Mandelic, Tartaric, Pyruvic, Lactic, Salicylic and Glycolic acids to fight blemishes.
