Top 7 Detox Face Masks That Actually Work

Slathering on the SPF, strenuous outdoor activities that culminate in sweat, and hyper-humid weather. What do they spell? A perfect storm – on your face! Bacteria, pollution and makeup residue seep into your pores to wreak havoc on even the least temperamental complexions especially during the sticky summer months. So, what additional steps can be taken to maintain healthy, balanced skin in these trying times? Glad you asked!

While cleaning your face is the obvious first line of defense in removing impurities, it probably shouldn’t be your last. When combined with your daily cleansing routine, Detox Masks work on a deeper level to address tough-to-tackle traitors like blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.

Below are some of our favorite Detox Masks, arranged by skin type, as well as a DIY mask suitable for everyone!

Acne/Blemish-Prone Skin

Touted as “the worlds most powerful facial”, this mask contains only one ingredient – 100% natural calcium bentonite (green clay). A powerhouse ingredient used by Cleopatra over 1800 years ago, bentonite is still used today in many spas around the world.

All Skin Types

2. Plantioxidants Purifying Treatment $85.00

This mask is a stand-out in our book. Instead of the classic clay base, it contains spirulina, a much-celebrated skin superfood with over 30 different skin beneficial minerals, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and other trace elements.

Combination Skin

4. Province Apothecary Detoxifying + Clarifying Clay Mask $18.00

1 tsp Kaolin Clay

1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
