The powdered clay is extremely soft and velvety. It's more finely milled than most clays I've encountered, which produces a slightly thinner consistency of mask. I usually like to mix in a couple drops each of jojoba and frankincense oils, and then just enough water to hold it all together. The mask feels cool and refreshing as you apply it and it's amazing at sucking all the gunk and oil out of your pores. In fact, one of the gross-but-awesome things about EvanHealy's mask is that you can actually see the stuff that is being pulled out of your pores as the clay absorbs it, so there's no question as to whether or not it's doing something.
After washing the mask off, my skin feels soft, clean, and refreshed. My pores look clear, any blackheads are gone, and I don't experience any redness or dry skin. I still follow up with an oil and/or moisturizer, but that's as a regular part of my routine, not because I'm feeling a desperate need to infuse as much moisture back into my skin as possible.
The Bottom Line
If you're looking for an effective clay mask that's suitable for all skin types (even sensitive!), I don't think you can do any better than EvanHealy's French Rose Clay. It's excellent at decongesting the skin and great for keeping pores clean and skin looking vibrant. Even my Mom - who is usually pretty low maintenance with her skincare - is a recent convert. The results speak for themselves and she's a fan now too!

What are your favorite masks?
I'm so glad you've tried/reviewed a rose clay. I had researched rose clay or pink clay but never did anything more about it. I think I'm going to have to put this on my "try" list.
ReplyDeleteSame here! I've researched a bunch of different clays too, but I always ended up going for green/bentonite, just because of how much more readily available it is. Now that I've finally gotten my hands on the rose clay, it's become a fast favourite!
DeleteI've heard so many amazing things about Rose Clay products, thanks for reviewing this one, it sounds perfect! x

Absolutely! It really is the best of both worlds: gentle and highly effective :)
DeleteGreat review! I'll have to give this one a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Let me know how it goes if you do :)
DeleteI love using clays, they're always so effective and really help my pores. This really sounds so lovely! x
ReplyDeleteSame here :) I've not had much luck actually shrinking pores (is that even possible?), but at least this way they're clean and less noticeable!
DeleteLoving clay mask! so easy to make homemade one: clay+ rose water+ bit of jojoba oil.....super :-)
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of homemade masks too! One of the things I love most about this one is that it's great on its own, but also super easy to modify/customize it to suit however my skin is feeling on a given day :)
