Make clogged pores and blemished skin history with Fresh’s cult classic Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask

Fresh&#39;s best kept secret &nbsp;can be traced all the way to the other side of the world &ndash; in the sleepy town of&nbsp;Nocera Umbra, Italy, to be exact. The secret in question is the&nbsp;Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask. For 17 years, this&nbsp;skincare favourite has retained its cult status for its multi-tasking, clarifying properties which&nbsp;the contain magic ingredient: Umbrian white clay.

The lowdown

Fresh founders&nbsp;Lev and Alina first discovered this &#39;miracle&#39; clay, whose origins can be traced to a hilltop in central Italy&nbsp;&ndash; the sole&nbsp;source in the entire world. So what is it about Umbrian white clay that makes it so special? The secret lies within its&nbsp;high mineral content containing calcite, quartz, and alkaline salt that works to purify, balance,&nbsp;and clarify the skin.&nbsp;The mask also consists of other ingredients such as sandalwood oil to&nbsp;minimise the appearance of pores, chamomile flower and lavender water to soothe the skin, and olive leaf extract to provide protection against free radicals.

Our take&nbsp;

Masks that come in the form of pots is a personal pet peeve of mine&nbsp;(it&#39;s messy and unsanitary).&nbsp;Despite that, the Umbrian Clay Purifying Mask has quickly become my go-to skincare product,&nbsp;especially when the pores on my face start to resemble&nbsp;the moon&#39;s craters.&nbsp;Upon application, I immediately felt the comforting effects of the chamomile flower and lavender on my skin,&nbsp;alleviating and calming the subtle irritation I usually have after cleansing and toning. While the mask was drying up, I could feel it work its magic in&nbsp;tightening pores while&nbsp;penetrating deeply into my skin.&nbsp;As promised, the mask left my skin supple and&nbsp;smooth with&nbsp;a good balance of&nbsp;mattified but not entirely stripped of moisture.

Bonus points from me: the Fresh&nbsp;Umbrian Purifying Clay Mask also works in different three ways: as a&nbsp;daily deep pore cleanser, purifying mask, and spot-treatment &ndash; in other words,&nbsp;the perfect hero mask for those days when your skin needs saving from itself.

Personal&nbsp;tip: Avoid contaminating the product by using&nbsp;a clean&nbsp;brush instead of your fingers to apply the mask onto your face.
