We all could use a good detox once in a while. Juice cleanses, detoxification teas and elimination diets are designed to help your body flush out toxins and impurities. Similarly, a facial detox can help to renew and revitalize your skin–your body’s largest organ–by removing excess dirt, pollutants, make-up and dead skin cells. This week, we continue our deep dive into our essential face mask series to take a closer look at our award-winning detox face mask, a perfect choice for anyone suffering from a dull, tired complexion.

Face time

Gentle enough for all skin types, this innovative oxygenating gel mask bubbles up, covering the face in a thick layer of foam as it lifts dirt, oil and make-up away from the skin while creating a barrier to seal hydration. Complex amino acids and natural almond extract gently and effectively purify, balance and soothe. Anti-oxidants Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Soy Protein help smooth and brighten dull skin. Like all Malin+Goetz formulas, this mask is a multitasker, doubling as a cleanser and a shaving cream. Its deep cleansing properties open the pores and soften facial hair for a smooth, hydrating shave. Made with squalane, glyercin and sodium pca, it creates a barrier to seal in moisture–use it after flying as an instant hydrator.

Step by step

For deep cleansing and hydration, apply a thick layer of detox face mask onto clean, dry skin, 1-2 times a week. Leave it on for 5 minutes or until the thick layer of foam starts to dissipate. Detox face mask is also gentle enough to use as a daily night-time cleanser for both oily and dry skin types. Apply a thin layer in place of cleanser and remove with a wash cloth and warm water after oxygenation.
