Face masks are definitely my #1 most purchased skincare product. Who can resist a fun face mask for a spa night at home, face mask selfie included? Not me! As someone with oily skin, I love a good face mask to absorb excess oil & clear up any acne I may have, as I have super problematic skin.

I picked up the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask ($25) at Sephora a few months back and it’s quickly become a staple in my weekly skincare routine. This mask is formulated with activated charcoal, which is a great ingredient for cleaning out clogged pores & keeping oil at bay. Clear Improvement also contains white China clay and lecithin to absorb toxins & dissolve impurities.

I like to use this mask once weekly and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Clay masks like this will forever be my favorite because I love the feeling of the clay drying on my face as I relax at the end of a long day. And best of all, being left with soothed & soft skin after washing off is something that can’t be beat!

Now I’m dying to try more Origins products, as this was my first purchase. Next on my list are the Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay (it’s.pink.) & the Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. I guess I really do have a thing for masks…
