I have a love-hate relationship with clay masks. They're too time consuming, messy, and most of the time, expensive. But with today's situation where getting a facial is not an option, it's best to invest in good and effective clay masks to take care of our pore concerns. I have an oily combination skin so I have big pore problems. I have tried the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2X and sadly, it didn't work for me. I came across an ad (these ads can be scary, no?) on Instagram about Some By Mi Super Matcha Pore Clean Clay Mask and it got my attention. It actually took me months before I told myself, "You should go get that clay mask ASAP, guuuurl!"
Some By Mi Super Matcha Pore Clean Clay Mask claims to offer a complete pore care solution. With willow bark extract, 102,000 ppm of matcha, and 120,000 ppm of clay, this wash-off mask claims to clear out excess sebum, dead skin cells, and other impurities to prevent clogged pores.
Key ingredients:
- Matcha Water—Helps purify pores and enhances skin elasticity
- Kaolin Clay—Helps suck up excess sebum and gunk from the skin
- Glycerin—Helps treat severely dry skin, protects against irritation, and helps strengthen skin's moisture barrier
- Centella Asiatica Extract—Helps improve small wounds, burns, and scratches
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract—Helps fight acne, prevents UV-induced damage and skin inflammation, and protects skin against aging
Directions for use:
After cleansing, apply a thick layer on dry face and spread evenly. Avoid your eye and lip areas. When the mask is completely dry after around 10-20 minutes, rinse off with lukewarm water.
Overall review:
Unlike the other clay masks I have tried, I didn't experience any stinging and heating feeling with Some By Mi Super Matcha Pore Clean Clay Mask. It dries quickly and easy to wash off. I like that my face wasn't red after washing the mask off. My face didn't feel dry and tight after, too. In fact, I was quite iffy if this mask did anything to my face on my first use, but when I compared the photos, I was amazed with the results. Check out the following photos and see it for yourself, too.
I had a minor breakout prior to using this mask, which explains the red bumps and pimples on my face. With an oily, combination skin type, my pores tend to be bigger on my cheek and nose areas. But as you can see in the photos, they were minimized immediately after using the mask. I have been using this twice a week and I think I already found the clay mask that I'm willing to repurchase!
Amazing! Will check this out.
