Our founder, Erin, has very sensitive skin and suffered from Cystic Acne for years. So she made sure that our products are great for all skin types, including Sensitive Skin, Acne Prone and Rosacea prone. However, if you are unsure if a product might be too strong for your skin, we always recommend doing a test spot and using it for less than the recommended time the first few times you use the product. We also created our Mini Size sets so you can easily try out a product first before buying the Full size.
CHARCOAL MASK:
Our Blueberry Coco Charcoal Mask contains powerful Bentonite and Kaolin Clays, which if left on too long (over 12 minutes on whole face is not recommended), may irritate sensitive skin. We recommend you leave it on for only 5-7 minutes and only use 1 to 2 times per week if you have highly sensitive skin and also follow with moisturizer. For sensitive skin, if the Charcoal Mask is left on for longer than 10 minutes, you may notice your face is flushed after washing it off because the Clays and Charcoal increase blood circulation to the face in order to assist with getting rid of impurities trapped in the pores. The Flushed redness will go away within about 10 minutes of washing off the mask. If your skin is highly irritated, discontinue using for a few days or stop using.
If you have very dry skin on certain areas, try using it only on the oily or problem areas, such as the T-Zone.
The Charcoal mask is also very good as just an acne spot treatment. Apply it to only the acne spot and you can leave it on for a few hours. The Pimple will dry up faster and you will see a far better healing time.
