Skin Balancing Oil-Absorbing Mask

$37.00

What It Does:
  • Leaves skin looking refreshed and smooth
  • Sea whip and oatmeal soothe skin
  • Clay’s gentle drawing action helps dislodge debris from congested pores while soothing plant extracts help visibly calm skin
  • Balances skin by visibly absorbing excess oil without over-drying or making skin feel tight

Who This Product Is For

▼How It Compares
  • This is a clay formulated mask that rinses easily, leaving skin soft, matte, and smooth.

  • Masks alone are insufficient in dealing with acne or pores, and should always be complemented by a well-formulated cleanser, moisturizer & exfoliant.
  • Our Masks are absolutely great for skin hydration/oil absorption, but never mandatory in protecting your skin.
◄Alternatives
Strength
  • For similar effects, try our other moisturizers for oily skin such as the Resist Hydrator / Skin Balancing Moisture Gel.

Texture
  • This mask contains an exclusive mix of natural clays plus skin-restoring and soothing ingredients.

  • I thought Paula didn't like clay masks or, at best, finds them unnecessary skincare products. Did she change her mind?

    Paula is not a big fan of most masks and she doesn't believe most facial masks are an essential step in a person's skincare routine. However, for women who want to incorporate them into their routines Paula developed masks that meet her standard of excellence. Many of our customers report excellent results form regular use of Skin Balancing Oil-Absorbing Mask.

    Is Skin Balancing Oil-Absorbing Mask OK for those with rosacea and oily skin?

    Skin Balancing Oil-Absorbing Mask should be effective and suitable for someone with rosacea. However, those with rosacea always need to be careful about any skincare product they use because even the gentlest formulas may cause a reaction. Paula's Choice products are guaranteed to be effective or we will refund your money.
