I'm obsessed with this clay mask - it leaves my skin feeling super clean without any dryness

I'm a huge fan of face masks, and clay masks are my go-to product, so I'm always on the lookout for something new.

I've been loving the Celimax series with noni for ages, and I've already written reviews for their toner, serum, and fabric masks, so I had to try this mask out too.

Price: 2000-3000 rubles before discounts, but you can often find this mask on sale for 1500 rubles in the same store.

The mask comes in a box with the same simple, green-droplet design as the rest of the noni series.

The tube is made of soft plastic, and the lid flips open. The cap is secure, and I've had it since the beginning of the year without any issues. The plastic is a bit translucent, probably because it's white and the mask inside is dark. The seal was intact both on the box and on the mask. The nozzle has a foil sticker - nice touch from the brand.

The nozzle is a wide opening, which is perfect for the thick texture of the mask. Ingredients:

I've got to say, the scent of this mask is pretty pleasant - it doesn't hit you over the head, so I'm having trouble putting my finger on the exact aroma.

As for the texture, it's a classic clay mask - not too dense, but not too runny either.

It spreads evenly on the skin, and the consistency is pretty smooth, despite having some tiny particles of crushed niacinamide. They don't irritate my skin at all, although I did get one small sharp particle stuck to my skin once. On my face, the mask looks pretty weird due to its color - I'm reminded of Shrek taking a mud bath Mask on skinMy skin: I'm 32, and I've got combination skin (T-zone is oily, cheeks are normal), which tends to get dehydrated, and I've got thin skin that's prone to redness and sensitivity in certain areas.

I apply the mask to clean, dry skin, and I love using it after something that's stripping my skin, like a salicylic acid treatment. I've got some buddies from the same brand that are salicylic acid treatments (reviews here and here), and this mask works beautifully with them - the effect is way more noticeable!

On my face, I leave the mask on for 5-7 minutes, during which time it sets and gets a bit firm, but not as hard as super-dry clay. It washes off easily, even with a sponge, and I don't have any issues with the particles getting stuck in my hair or the dark color clogging my pores.

The effect is really pleasing to me!

The first and most important thing for me is that the mask does a great job of cleaning my skin. After using it, I get this lovely feeling of cleanliness, like my pores have been washed)The mask does a pretty good job of tightening my pores, and after using it, they look a bit more refined. Of course, this is a temporary effect, but I'm still happy about it)It also evened out my skin tone a bit, and helped to reduce redness - especially noticeable on small red spots.The finish after using the mask is naturally matte, no excessive shine, but since I always follow up with a moisturizer or a cotton mask, I couldn't assess how long the finish lasts. Before/AfterAnd like I mentioned earlier, I love combining it with salicylic acid, it makes the effect even more noticeable, my pores don't get clogged, and my skin looks amazing)The biggest plus is that the mask doesn't dry out my skin at all! After using it, I don't feel like all the moisture has been sucked out, and I don't need to rush and apply all the moisturizers I have at home.And another plus I recently discovered is that if you have sensitive areas, this mask doesn't irritate them. No burning or discomfort at all. Skin after the maskOverall, it's an amazing mask that's all about balance - it gives a noticeable effect without being uncomfortable at all. I highly recommend it, especially when it's on sale!
