PROVENCE Beauty Pore Amour Clarifying Clay Mask

Most Helpful Positive Review

Goodbye oil clogged pores!!!

I don't think there is a woman and probably half the men on earth that doesn't have memories of using a green clay based face mask during our youth! I've been in the beauty industry since 16 years old and I remember the old school green clay masks, typically by Queen Helene (mint julepe) or Freeman..... I'd guarantee just about everyone tried that green clay mask at some point in their teen years and really thought they were doing something amazing for their face.. And they were decent for the time.. Obviously or they wouldn't still be on the shelves today! Provence Beauty did something that not many brands seem able to do by sticking with what works but improving it tremendously! Green clay obviously works and French green clay is one of the most commonly used types because of its ability to regulate sebum and not just draw it out. But they took that tried and true ingredient and added a bunch of other good stuff like Niacinamide, caffeine and Willowbark. I personally only have oily skin in a few areas but certain times of the year it gets more excessive and I've noticed that as I'm getting older my skin is becoming more oily then it ever was. I used the mask after showing and cleansing like I normally do, applying with a mask brush allover my face and neck, I even applied it around my eye area out of curiosity whether it would irratate or burn like most masks of its kind typically do. I was surprised it didn't at all, I applied it everywhere but my lids and had no uncomfortable feeling around the eyes at all. After applying a thick layer I allowed it to sit for about 20 minutes, when I could feel it starting to dry I used a makeup remover cloth wipe with warm water to start to remove. I typically don't care for using clay masks because of the time and effort some take to remove but I was honestly impressed with how easy this mask removes, taking only a few minutes. My skin literally looked cleaner, tighter and my pores less visible immediately. I actually thought to myself "wow it's been a minute since my skin has looked so clean" and how sad is that considering I'm a licensed cosmetologist, esthetician and professional makeup artist!! My kids father has extremely oily skin, in all my years of being an esthetician I've never experienced or seen anything like it to be honest and I immediately messaged him sending him a link for this mask and insisting he try it out and let me know his results. This is a incredible addition to anyone's skincare routine or product lineup, in fact I'd say it's a must have. Especially for anyone with oily or excessive oily skin. **This review was created through an educational promotional event hosted between the brand and beauty experts.**
