What It Is: An oil-absorbing clay maskWhat It Does: Reduces oil, shine, & blackheads and makes pores look smallerWho It's For: Normal to oily skin types

Acne was never an issue for me growing up. Those awkward teenage years involved a full set of braces and puffy under-conditioned, curly hair, but rarely any major breakouts. So you could imagine my surprise when the red, irritated pimples known as cystic acne began to lớn appear around my chin & little bumps arrived on my cheeks in my mid-20s. Although they're two separate concerns, it was one product, the Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque, that became my saving grace.

My skin type is combination, so finding a clarifying mask that can penetrate my T-zone và absorb pore-clogging buildup from oils and dirt throughout the day was such a boon. I tend khổng lồ get dry và flaky along my laugh lines, resulting in unwanted red marks that I then cover with concealer which can dry my skin out… and the cycle continues. Thankfully, along with the clarifying stuff, Kiehl's included ingredients lượt thích oatmeal & aloe to help soothe the irritation that often occurs for me with masks that make similar promises.

Here's how I use it: I pull my lion's mane of hair off my face with a headband, which allows me to spread the creamy, gray mask all the way out khổng lồ my jaw and hairline. I'll sometimes treat my skin khổng lồ a facial steam before applying the mask — I find this relaxes my pores và lets the mask penetrate even deeper. 

After steaming, I use my beloved silicone facial brush to apply a thin layer of the mineral-rich Amazonian clay mask. Since it's quite thick to begin with, a little goes a long way. The mask gives off a faint, earthy clean scent that you might miss since the smell is so subtle. What you will notice is the tingling sensation, which I quite enjoy, as the mask hardens & dries.

Since this versatile mask also works as a spot treatment, I am able khổng lồ focus on my breakout areas (cheeks, chin, & nose). Think of this as spreading a laying of self-care on your acne-prone regions as you go about your day for 10 to 15 minutes. 

The removal process — the reveal, if you will — is the most satisfying part for me. Once the clay tightly dries onto (and in some ways, into) my skin, I continuously splash warm water onto my face until the clay softens. As I gently rub in circular motions, the clay will begin to fall off, & a clean, smooth, complexion is revealed.

After incorporating this mask into my skin-care routine twice a week, those tiny sebaceous bumps along my cheeks have disappeared. & on the off-chance a breakout does occur, you better believe I'm reaching for this Deep Pore Cleansing Masque from Kiehl's. It's no surprise that it won an hoanghaistore.com Best of Beauty Award for 2020.
