Looks like mud, but luckily, doesn’t smell like mud! I’ve been using sheet masks for so long now, I’ve almost forgotten about the old ways! I’m looking forward to trying this mask, as although I do have dry skin, I have an oily T-zone and have been breaking out recently. I’m keen to test the claims that it draws out inpurities and also reduces pores. As for ‘tingling’, well it sounds like it must have some very active ingredients. This is the small 15ml version of this product.

- Tingling charcoal clay mask
- Absorbs excess oil
- Feels intensely tingly
- Amazing for your at-home facial
First Impressions: The aroma when you open the pot is heavenly, earthy, and spa-like. The mask has a grit to it, so the exfoliating quality of this will no doubt help to smoothe the skin. It dries down quickly. I couldn’t detect a tingling sensation when tested on the back of my hand, but that’s probably because it’s a less sensitive area. With minimal tightening, it didn’t feel overly drying. When I washed it off after 10 minutes, the skin was soft, smooth and glowing. Really keen to try this product on my face.
