When looking for a high-quality mud mask, it's important to remember that not all mud is created equal. The commonly-used Dead Sea mud comes with a high amount of anti-inflammatory properties that can de-puff and soothe skin. On top of these components, this type of mud also comes loaded with magnesium and sodium — helping to "treat everything from psoriasis to arthritis," Healthline notes. Other options include volcanic mud, moor mud, and silica mud, each of which packs a good amount of anti-inflammatory elements that can make a difference for your skin. If you have sensitive skin, look for more gentle options and always spot test to make sure it works for you.
Just start by applying a mask to clean skin and letting it sit anywhere between 5 and 10 minutes. When the time is up, rinse gently with warm water and finish with a serum or moisturizer. Make sure to do a thin layer, however; NewsWatch explains that "too much" may "strip your skin and pores of all essential natural oils."
Adding a purifying, detoxifying boost to tired skin, a mud mask can leave your pores feeling refreshed and your face looking brighter.
