I use this mask weekly and it makes my skin feel great. It is clay based and draws out toxins without stripping anything good out of the skin. It is a little messy though, if you don't get the consistence right. Need to have equal amounts water and powder, or just slightly more powder for a good, non-messy consistency. I think the fan brush is a must have with this product. It's fun to use and gets the mask applied really quickly with no mess on hands.
