Mint Julep Masque by Queen Helene

Queen Helene
Mint Julep Masque
Clay Mask

My skin is on the oily side.  Browsing through Instagram, I found out about GlamGlow, but it is just too expensive.  It is a face mask made out of clay and volcanic ash that draws out oil and blackheads on your face.  Patches or dots of oil would be visible when the mask dries out.  That means it is actually absorbing and drawing out the oil on the skin... but enough about GlamGlow.

Here is a mask that is much cheaper but utilizes the same principle - using clay to draw out blackheads and excess oil on the skin.  Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque has bentonite.  Bentonite is an absorbent clay.  It is used to absorb grease and oil.  It can also be found in commercial cat litter.

I ran out of the Original (yellow packaging) Dickinson's Witch Hazel Toner, and I picked this one instead just to try.
