MAGIC CLAY

MAGIC CLAY sounds like a clay-based beauty or mask product aimed at people who want a simple, messy, wash-off treatment. By our assessment, the attraction is the basic clay idea itself: these products are usually chosen for absorbing oil and leaving the skin feeling cleaner after rinsing. The downside is the familiar clay-product one, which is that they can be drying or feel too blunt if the skin is already sensitive. In practice it is the kind of thing that dries on the face and then needs to be washed off carefully, with all the crusty inconvenience that comes with clay masks. Compared with creamier skincare, it is more direct and less pampering. MAGIC CLAY suits someone who wants a no-frills mask-style product, and it is a poor fit for dry or easily irritated skin.
