Cleansing with a mud face mask | Skin Republic UK

Like many face masks, a mud face mask is used to detox, purify and cleanse. But we know what you’re thinking, how can mud be cleansing? Mud is naturally made up of loads of different minerals, and when applied to the skin those minerals have a positive, purifying effect on the skin. The natural ingredients in your favourite mud face mask pull out impurities and encourage skin cell regeneration and healing.

If you’re skincare junkies like us, these next two words will give you nightmares. Clogged pores (sorry!). Clogged pores can be the cause of many of our skin worries; acne, breakouts, blackheads, dullness… we could go on. Makeup, oily products and pollution can cause clogging of the pores, so you should make sure that you thoroughly cleanse to reduce your risk.

You’ve probably found the best facial cleanser for your everyday cleanse, but if you want to take your skincare routine to the next level you need a cleansing mud mask. Luckily for you, we have three no-mess mud masks to choose from!

The Skin Republic Green Tea Mud Sheet Mask combines two super-detoxifying ingredients, green tea and charcoal to draw out dirt and impurities from your skin, while the cleansing properties of mud give you a deep cleanse.

Everybody loves pink clay, so we infused it into our Pink Clay Mud Sheet Mask. Pink clay contains kaolin, which keeps skin hydrated and improves skin tone while absorbing toxins. Goji berry and white mulberry evens skin tone and protects against damage caused by UV rays.

If you’re looking for a cleansing mask with the added benefits of tightening and firming, our Volcanic Ash Mud Sheet Mask is the one for you. Volcanic ash contains a high dose of minerals while being a natural skin purifier, meaning those toxins and that dirt is flushed out of the skin. Volcanic ash is also great for improving the appearance of acne scars and tightening the skins pores. What more could you want? 

Our mud masks are mess-free, so say goodbye to dropping mud all over the floor and ruining your fancy towels. The mask comes in two parts, so unfold each section and remove clear film, place the mask on your face and smooth into your facial contours. Finally remove the white backing paper and relax for 30 minutes.

We’d recommend using a cleansing mud mask once a week for an ultimate detox and cleanse.
