Generation Clay

Today I want to review a face mask I’ve had for a while but just haven’t had the time to sit still for ten minutes and try it. On a good day I make time for self pampering but with stress and life it can take a back seat. So with the quarantine in full effect I thought what better time to try this out then now.

The face mask I used is Generation Clay. It’s their ultra violet brightening purple clay mask. (If you want to try it you can grab it off Amazon for $22.). Since this is the first time I’ve used it I can give a pretty good description of what the process was like and the immediate effects but for more long term use you’ll have to check back.

The mask claims to restore your face to help with aging, boost hydration and collagen, brighten your skin and refine your pores. Here’s hoping right now. With the world as it is I’ve been feeling pretty stressed out so reducing pores would be terrific.

When I first opened the bottle it smelled nice. It’s more of a natural earthy smell; definitely not over powering. I put a little in my hand and it was very cooling to the touch. Since I’d just been hustling I needed something cool and this was definitely it. When I applied it over my face it had the same cooling feel. It’s also purple so you can clearly see where you’ve put it on your face or where you’ve missed.

The instructions say to apply an even layer over your skin, to wait ten minutes or until the mask starts to tighten. Then use water to gently rinse off the mask in circular motions. I applied the mask in an even layer and then relaxed with a book waiting for it to dry. When it was drying it did feel a little chilly and I could feel the mask drying as it began to tingle slightly. It wasn’t painful and just felt tightening as the mask was drying.

After my ten minutes was up it was time to wash my mask off. Especially since I couldn’t really move my face.

It washed off really well and with minimal work. (I’m a little lazy when it comes to those. I got burned by a charcoal mask that you had to peel off quite painfully I might add.) I washed mine off in the shower so it would be easier to make sure I didn’t make a huge mess all over my bathroom. It was really easy to just wash off.

When I got out of my shower my face felt really nice. I’m not sure if I look younger and more radiant but It seems like it feels nicer. I’ll add a picture of my face but their is absolutely no judging allowed as I’m fresh from the shower with no make up.
