Sukin Sensitive Pink Clay Facial Masque 100 ml

I love another mask from Sukin - the Rich Moisture - so I decided to give this one a go too as it's made for those with sensitive skin of all types. I have used other pink clay masks, usually with good results, and they were quite cooling and soothing, so I was hoping for the same . I love the creamy texture of this mask as I smooth it on, but I can't say I'm a fan of the strong almond smell. It was easy to cover my face and neck with a thickish layer and relax in the bath for a while (mask time is always a good excuse to make yourself relax from a busy schedule). \nFortunately this mask did not go bone dry during the 15 minutes waiting time so no danger of my skin growing unpleasantly taut under this mask.

I removed it gently with a damp wash-cloth, rinsed with warm water and then surveyed the results. The good news - my skin did not look pink, or feel hot, which can be the case if a mask irritates me, and it did feel very soft. The not-so-good news - my face felt a little taut and dry in my drier areas, and I felt a real need to slather on serum and moisturiser straight away. \nI have only used this mask twice so I may try to leave it on for a slightly shorter period and see the effect to give it a real go, before I think of passing it on (I have a family member with oily but also sensitive skin who might like to share it).\nI hope I am able to make this work for me, as I love so many of Sukin's natural, cruelty-free products and wholesome ingredients and think they are a great affordable Australian company. \n

I must admit, the most relaxing part of my day and the part I enjoy the most, twice, is my facial routine. From cleansing to treatments to moisturising, when I have my fingertips on my face neck and décolletage, massaging my nice skin products deep into the layers of my skin, I’m definitely at my happiest and calmest of any point in my day to day life. I love looking at skin care products, I love buying skin care products ( my bank account not so much love there...) and I love cracking open jars and tubes and pots of gorgeous, skin loving product. I might have a ten or eleven step routine some days, other times a much more simple three step one but I can guard that at least once twice or three times a week, I will be using a facial mask of some sort.\n\nWhether ... MoreI must admit, the most relaxing part of my day and the part I enjoy the most, twice, is my facial routine.

I might have a ten or eleven step routine some days, other times a much more simple three step one but I can guard that at least once twice or three times a week, I will be using a facial mask of some sort.\n\nWhether you’re sensitive, dry, oily, combination or acne prone, a good gel, cream or clay mask is, I think, vital, to making a good skin care routine a brilliant one. It’s all very good to cleanse, tone, treat and moisturise twice a day every day, but if you really want to treat, pamper and indulge your skin and senses and well being, see the difference that a regular mask really will make to you. Try a couple at the same time even, multi masking, that’s what the cool kids do these days I’m told.\n\nA cream or gel mask is good when I want to soften, brighten and deeply moisturise my sometimes parched, dehydrated skin type but when I’m suffering from red, sore and unsightly breakouts, I reach for a clay mask. Unfortunately because I also suffer from super sensitive, easily irritated and redness prone skin, as well as blemishes, clay masks can make the situation worse as they can be truly drying to my skin. A dilemma until I discovered this sukin sensitive pink clay masque. \n\nI’ve had a love/ hate relationship with Sukin, as I’ve used products from their sensitive skin range that have really upset my delicate skin but others like their green superfood range, my skin has just loved so much. This mask though I loved, firstly it’s pink, still my absolute favourite colour and I’ve been known to buy anything and everything just because it’s pink, so that ticked a major aesthetic box for me. After double cleansing, I applied a thick, even layer of this gorgeous candy pink mask to my face and neck with my face mask brush and lay back while it worked it’s magic on my face. Before it completely dried I removed it with a damp muslin cloth thoroughly and applied serum and moisturiser to still damp skin. Removing a clay mask before it’s fully dry is my little trick to ensure it doesn’t dry my skin out completely. My skin was left looking and feeling soft, smooth, even in tone and texture and slightly glowing in a natural, radiant way. I’ve used it several times since and it always leaves my skin looking and feeling amazing, not irritated, dry or red in the slightest and I adore the candy pink colour so so much.\n\nI still have a slight love/ hate relationship with this brand although I love this mask and the fact that it’s Australian made and owned, full of natural ingredients and very affordable for everyone to give it a go. A good skin care routine can be made simply amazing with the addition of a fabulous face mask like this one, highly recommended for every skin type and need.\n

Pink clay masks are having a bit of a moment lately and seem to be perfectly fit for my sensitive/combination skin (gentle yet purifying),so I decided to buy a couple. One which was about half the size of this one (and triple the price!) and this one from Sukin.\nThe Sukin pink clay mask comes packaged in a sturdy dark coloured round tub with a twist top lid. I personally would prefer a tube as they are more hygienic and easier and less messy to disense from but tubs seem to be normal packaging for many pink clay masks.\nThe scent is earthy and nice and the mask is an almost jelly like texture and feels cooling on the skin when applied. I expected it to go all tight while drying and give me that itchy,slightly uncomfortable feel most clay masks do,but it didn't .

It stayed nicely hydrating and left my sensitive skin free from irritation and itchiness.\nThe mask is of course,a lovely pale pink shade and I look slightly less crazy wearing it compared to my usual sheet masks and questionable mud coloured turmeric ones.\nThe mask was a bit of a hassle to wash off but that was expected as it is the case with all clay masks. A wet muslin cloth will make the removal a breeze though\nMy skin felt clean,nourished and super soft after using this. I honestly had the same results off this mask as the one triple the price.Actually,this one was more comfortable to wear. May as well save yourselves some money and just get this affordable beauty instead!\nA nice,natural treat that purifies the skin without drying it out. Leaves skin softened,hydrated and glowing.\nI would recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin looking for affordable and effective skin care.\n\n

A clay mask that's actually easy to use!!

I rarely write reviews, but I liked this product enough to do so. Usually I dislike clay face masks because: sometimes they can crumble (after the drying process) and leave a big mess, sometimes they smell awful, and/or sometimes they leave my skin feeling very tight after I have removed all of the product from my face. So far I have had zero issues with this product, and even if someone makes me smile whilst I have it on, there's no flaking or crumbling. There is a very mild scent (sweet/herby/fruity), so please be mindful of that. Personally it doesn't bother me and I don't find that it lingers.

Affordable, gentle and works well!

There are a lot of pink clay masks there out one the market and while many of them have a high price tag that doesn't necessarily mean that it's better quality. I have tried plenty of masks and this pink clay mask by Sukin is one of the best that I have tried. I don't have overly sensitive skin but it can get sensitive at times. This clay masks helps to mattify your skin, remove congestion from your pores and leave your skin fresh and glowing without leaving it tight and dehydrated. I like to give my face a steam bath so it can help to open my pores and then I apply the face mask on top. Just a light layer all over your face or wherever you feel like your skin needs. good detox (t-zone, cheeks, jawline...etc). I like to leave it on for at least 15 minutes until the ... MoreThere are a lot of pink clay masks there out one the market and while many of them have a high price tag that doesn't necessarily mean that it's better quality.

You can always be happy about the fact that it's all natural, doesn't test on animals and it's vegan. I've noticed huge improvements in my skin since using it and I would definitely recommend it for everyone including all skin types.

Caused a awful reaction to my sensitive skin and sukin don't want to know

I would never usually leave a negative review but I really feel I've been left no choice here. I've used sukin products for years and they've always been great. I usually buy from my local Holland and Barrett but obviously this has been closed during lock down so I treated myself to an online order in March. Really liked the sound of this product, and when it arrived it smelled so good I couldn't wait to use it on my combination sensitive skin. I applied the mask to a clean damp face as instructed. Within 2 min my face was tingling, within 5 min my skin felt like it was burning and i had to rinse it off. My skin was bright red, angry looking, and felt extremely tight and dry and itchy. I had to use aloe Vera gel to soothe it. I have contacted sukin direct via email ... MoreI would never usually leave a negative review but I really feel I've been left no choice here.

I had to use aloe Vera gel to soothe it. I have contacted sukin direct via email and through Facebook and sent them photos of the damage to my face and politely asking if I can exchange this product for something else. Obviously I don't want to use it again. And they don't want to know. I got one reply saying sorry that's happened, we recommend you stop using the product and that was it. I have tried contacting them again several times over the past month and haven't had a reply. So I've wasted my money on a product that is totally useless to me and I can't exchange it for something I can actually use. £13 is a lot of money for me to just lose and even worse when it was a treat for myself and it was supposed to be a product especially for sensitive skin I wouldn't expect this kind of reaction at all. I've never had a reaction to any products before so I can't imagine what ingredients have caused it. I've uploaded a photo that I took ten minutes after washing the mask off and you can see the redness like sunburn! Really disappointed by the product and more so by the service or lack or service from sukin also and even tho I've always loved their products previously this experience has definitely put me off. If you are purchasing a mask i recommend the rose hip mask, that's a great product.

Excellent!

I have mixed feelings regarding this product. It has a gentle scent, whereas I prefer my skincare products not to have fragrance whatsoever. But considering the fact you only leave it on the face for 10-15 minutes this could be okay. The problem is I just don't like the smell so even though it is gentle it's an issue. Otherwise, I think it's everything you'd expect from a pink clay mask. Note that pink clay is usually recommended for sensitive skin types and don't expect it to have a similar effect to those regular black clay masks. I'm happy I tried but I will probably stick to the usual clay mask type next time.

Less irritating than other Sukin clay masks

I've tried the purifying, hydrating and oil balancing Sukin clay masks before this, and this is one of the better ones. I experienced some stinging with the other ones but with this, there was only slight tingling. For reference, my skin is not particularly sensitive in general but some natural/fruit extracts can cause stinging. The formula for this mask is much simpler compared to the other Sukin masks - clays, aloe, soothing ingredients like tasmanian pepper, cucumber and chamomile etc. There are no essential oils and no added fragrance. The texture is beautifully smooth and creamy, not overly scented and I like the pink colour that dries down to a more salmon pink. It dries down after about 15 minutes to a slight tightening of the skin but it's not too drying.

I am not sure if it is completely safe for sensitive skin so I'd recommend patch testing. It doesn't quite clear out to pores as much as I'd like compared to some stronger clay masks that do not tingle at all for me, so this is not a product I would personally repurchase.

Removes impurities, gentle on sensitive skin

I loved this clay mask. Loved the pink colour and delicate scent and it was really easy to use. I applied this before showering and got a nice thick layer on my skin then left it on for 15 minutes. My face went a little tight but it was not uncomfortable, the mask is quite creamy to apply and it was so easy to remove, I just used a facecloth under the shower and removed it with ease. After using this my skin felt so clean and smooth, it removes impurities really well to prevent breakouts and it leaves my skin looking bright and fresh. It has never irritated my sensitive skin and it’s also super economical and I only need to use it once a week. The packaging is really pretty as well. I would buy this again

didn't know how badly I needed this in my routine

I take care to massage cleanser into my face every day to wash it well, but I have large pores on my nose that always look a bit dirty. I thought I would just have to live with black dots on my nose until I found this. Other masks have made my face feel dry and tight after use and were a bit difficult to apply, but this was a very nice smooth and wet consistency that was very easy to apply and my face felt soooo nice and smooth after rinsing it off! And my big nose pores were clean! And all week after using it, my nose is still visibly clean. I'm very happy with how smooth and clean my face gets after using this product and love staring at my nose now hahaha I can't get over how clean it gets.
