If you have congested pores, try this purifying mud mask inspired by ancient Ayurveda that cools on contact with the skin and helps to give it a deep clean. The tingling face mask is formulated with bamboo charcoal, green tea leaves, and Community Trade tea tree oil and helps to decongest and refine the look of pores to reveal a glowing complexion. The mask helps to draw out impurities and excess oils while simultaneously exfoliating the skin’s surface. Esthetician for The Body Shop, Vanda Serrador suggests using this mask at room temperature and to apply with a facial mask brush for a spa-like application. To remove easily, soak a muslin cloth in warm (not hot!) water and squeeze out the excess. Place the cloth over your face and press it onto the skin with your hands. Then, use the cloth to gently remove the mask by using circular motions.
