Pink clay is generally chosen for its gentler profile compared to green or bentonite clays, making it a common option for skin that feels tight or reacts quickly to stronger formulas. The mineral blend — silicon, iron, magnesium, and calcium — works on the surface to absorb excess oil and lift impurities without the intense drawing sensation that can leave skin feeling stripped. Still, sensitivity varies: if your skin is very reactive, do a patch test on the inner forearm or jawline for 5 minutes, 24 hours before a full-face application. On the first few uses, keep the leave-on time to 5 minutes maximum and rinse while the mask is still slightly moist. Avoid applying on broken skin, active eczema, sunburn, or areas recently treated with professional peels. If you experience stinging, persistent redness, or itching during or after use, rinse immediately and discontinue. After rinsing, apply a fragrance-free moisturizer to support the barrier.
Frequency: once a week is a safe starting point; you can increase to twice weekly only if your skin shows no signs of dryness or irritation. Always listen to your skin rather than a fixed schedule.
