Face Mask for Glowing Skin: How to Use a Clay Mask the Right Way
Share
A face mask is one of the most relaxing steps in a skincare routine. Ten or fifteen minutes with a mask on, then a rinse, and skin often feels clean, soft and refreshed. A mask will not change your skin overnight, but used regularly as part of a simple routine, it can be a lovely way to help skin look fresher.
What is in Revive Face Mask
The Revive Face Mask blends traditional and modern ingredients:
- Multani mitti and kaolin clay, two clays commonly used in face masks.
- Rose flower extract and aloe vera.
- Kapoor kachri, haldi, chandan and nagarmotha, familiar from traditional Indian beauty rituals.
- Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

How to use it
- Cleanse your face to remove makeup, sunscreen and oil.
- Pat dry.
- Apply an even layer, avoiding the eyes, eyebrows and lips.
- Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not leave it on much longer.
- Rinse with lukewarm water, using gentle circular movements.
- Pat dry and moisturise.

How often
Use the Revive Face Mask 2 to 3 times a week. More often is not better; give skin rest days in between.
What to apply after
After rinsing, skin is ready for the rest of your routine. In the evening, many people follow with a serum and moisturiser, or with the HydraRenew Collagen Overnight Mask, which has hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, multi-peptides and aloe vera and is rinsed off in the morning. See what to apply after a face mask.
Best time to use a mask
- Evening is easiest, when you have time to relax.
- The evening before an event is a popular choice. See skincare before a party.
- Weekends, as part of a slow self-care routine.
Glow is a routine, not a single step
A face mask works best alongside the basics:
- Daily sunscreen.
- Gentle cleansing morning and night.
- Moisturiser that suits your skin.
- Sleep, water and balanced meals.
Common mistakes
- Leaving the mask on until it cracks badly or for much longer than directed.
- Scrubbing it off hard.
- Skipping moisturiser afterwards.
- Using it every day.
- Applying on broken or irritated skin.
