Skincare

Tarte Double Detox Amazonian Clay Exfoliating Face Mask, S$62 (New at Sephora Singapore)

Restore radiance, clarity and refined skin in five weeks with this double-duty detoxifying and exfoliating facial mask. Its key active ingredient Amazonian clay detoxifies skin as it balances oil and moisture levels of skin to improve longstaying power of makeup. Jojoba beads exfoliate and refine complexion to smoothen skin. Sweet almond oil and avocado oil replenish, rehydrate and soften skin as well as soothe skin. Suitable for all skin types as it absorbs excess oil of oil prone skin, hydrates and replenishes dry skin and balances combination skin. REVIEW: It leaves a mild tingling, minty sensation on my skin that feels just great on a hot day. It quickly dries up on skin and is easily removed with water. Perhaps its white colour makes this clay mask less of a mess. Skin feels smoother and comfortable after the gentle exfoliation. It does not leave my dry skin drier than before despite the oil absorbing properties of the Amazonian clay. Its exfoliating and deep treatment mask properties make the mask a great option for busy executive or mums.
