Calm, clarify, and deeply rebalance a stressed complexion with the Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Mask, a soothing treatment mask engineered to target congestion, breakouts, and excess sebum.. Specially designed for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types that are highly sensitive to aggressive acne washes, this comforting clay mask delivers a thorough purification process without stripping the skin matrix. It utilises a highly absorbent mineral base to gently draw out deep-seated impurities, unblock congested pores, and refine surface texture. Infused with a powerful synergy of therapeutic botanicals, it reduces localised redness and irritation while cooling the skin, leaving your face looking beautifully matte, clean, and structurally calm.. Benefits. Deeply Clarifies Pores: Gently lifts away stubborn oil, urban pollution, and daily debris to minimise blackheads and congestion.. Calms Blemish Irritation: Rapidly soothes active breakouts, minimising the appearance of angry, post-acne redness.. Balances Sebum Production: Regulates excess surface oils to leave a long-lasting, smooth, matte finish.. Non-Drying Purifier: Keeps the natural skin barrier completely cushioned, preventing the cracking or flaking associated with traditional clay masks.. Decongesting Aromatherapy: Releases a soothing, natural herbal vapour that helps clear the senses and relax the mind during treatment.. The Science Behind the Formula. Elemis fuses highly absorbent, natural minerals with rich, healing essential oils to safely rebalance a reactive skin barrier:. Kaolin Clay: An exceptionally mild, mineral-rich clay that physically binds to excess sebum, surface toxins, and atmospheric debris, pulling them from the pores without disrupting the lipid shield.. Lavender Essential Oil: A globally celebrated botanical active prized for its natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to heal active blemishes and calm tissue stress.. Rosemary Essential Oil: A natural astringent that purifies the skin surface, tones the appearance of dilated pores, and offers robust antioxidant protection.. Thyme Extract: Rich in active compounds that help defend the newly cleansed skin matrix from acne-causing bacteria while promoting rapid tissue recovery.. Why We Love It. We love this herbal mask because it shatters the rule that clay masks must feel tight, dry, and uncomfortable to be effective. It remains beautifully creamy and pliable on the skin throughout the entire treatment time, rinsing away effortlessly without the need for aggressive scrubbing. It acts as the ultimate, reliable reset button for a hormonal, city-stressed face, instantly cooling down irritation, tightening visible pores, and transforming a greasy, reactive skin texture into a smooth, clean, and perfectly stable canvas.. How To Use It. Use 1-2 times a week on thoroughly cleansed, dry skin.. Step One: Apply a generous, even layer over the entire face and neck, avoiding the delicate eye area.. Step Two: Relax and leave the mask to activate for 10–15 minutes. The formula will rest comfortably on the skin without turning chalky or brittle.. Step Three: Rinse away thoroughly with lukewarm water, or remove using a damp, warm washcloth. Follow immediately with your targeted toner and moisturiser.. Spot Treatment Tip: Dab a small amount directly onto an angry, active pimple overnight to rapidly calm redness and speed up healing.. Works Well With. After deeply clarifying your skin with this herbal mask, restore an exceptional, non-greasy luminosity by massaging in a few drops of the nutrient-dense Elemis Superfood Facial Oil.. Values.
