Holistic Face & Body Mask: Salicylic Acid & Bentonite

Description:
- Salicylic Acid
One of the primary benefits of salicylic acid is its ability to exfoliate the skin. Unlike alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which primarily exfoliate the skin's surface, salicylic acid is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into the pores and dissolve excess oil, dead skin cells, and other debris. This helps to unclog pores, prevent breakouts, and promote smoother, clearer skin. In addition to its exfoliating properties, salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce redness, swelling, and irritation associated with break outs and other skin conditions. It helps calm and soothe the skin, making it particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or inflamed skin. Furthermore, salicylic acid has keratolytic properties, meaning it helps dissolve keratin, a protein that can contribute to the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads). By promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and preventing the buildup of keratin, salicylic acid helps keep pores clear and reduce the risk of breakouts.
- Bentonite Clay
Bentonite clay is a versatile natural ingredient that offers a range of benefits for the skin. this clay is known for its powerful absorbent properties. One of the key benefits of bentonite clay is its ability to deeply cleanse and purify the skin. Its porous structure allows it to attract and absorb impurities, toxins, and excess oil from the skin's surface, making it particularly effective for removing buildup and unclogging pores. This deep-cleansing action helps to clarify the skin, minimize the appearance of pores, and promote a clearer, more balanced complexion. It contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which help nourish and replenish the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and revitalised.
