DIRECTIONS

PURIFYING

Blemishes like blackheads or pimples can be caused by an overproduction of sebum clogging your pores, or by the growth of bacteria in your sebaceous glands.

This mask includes sebum-regulating stinging nettle, mattifying pine charcoal, and purifying green clay to cleanse skin, reduce excess sebum, and target imperfections.

Active ingredients
Stinging nettle extract:
Stinging nettle is ideal for blemish-prone skin. Rich in trace elements like zinc, sulfur, and copper, this botanical helps regulate serum production and tighten pores. Its anti-inflammatory properties diminish the appearance of blemishes.
Pine charcoal:
Sanitizing and detoxifying, pine charcoal is known for its powerful absorbent properties. It mattifies your complexion and offers cleansing benefits.
Green clay:
This purifying active is ideal for oily or blemish-prone skin thanks to its sebum-regulating, healing, and skin-softening properties. Green clay's high concentration in minerals and trace elements make it an ideal ingredient for nourishing and soothing troubled skin.
