Sea clay from France, activated once wet, creates an energetic polarity that pulls dirt and toxins from pores. Combined with camu camu, delivering bioavailable Vitamin C, and you’ve got an antioxidant rich, deep cleansing mask! Collagen factors from matcha, green coffee bean extract, chlorella and kelp plumps + firms, while nettle, chamomile and calendula provide vitamins and minerals to boost blood flow + revitalize skin. This plant & mineral-based dry powder is best used as a weekly mask for deep cleansing.
UMI Matcha Cleansing Mask is named for the Japanese word 'umi', which not only pays tribute to the sea, but also perfectly balances the synergy of seaweed and ceremonial grade matcha in our carefully crafted formula.
Get to know your skin
use: intuitively use as much as you need, everyone’s skin is unique. We recommend adding 2 teaspoons or less of dry powder to a masking bowl or palm of hand, and gradually add water to create a thin paste. Allow powder to absorb liquid for about 15 seconds to activate ingredients.
Apply to slightly damp skin and leave on for 10-20 minutes. Keep mask from fully drying on the skin so ingredients remain active and skin isn’t overdried. Pro-tip: a spritz of hydrosol is perfect for this!
Rinse gently with a warm, damp washcloth or under warm running water. The sea clay adheres to dead, damaged tissue so rinse extremely well to remove all of the mask. Finish with cool water and pat dry.
highly recommended: devote time for silence, prayer, meditation, or dancing to really great music during your masking ritual, and follow-up with a spritz of your favorite Hydrosol and a few drops of Nourish Beauty Oil.
For use as an exfoliating cleanser when time doesn't allow for the full masking experience, simply add 1 teaspoon cleansing powder to your hand with an equal amount of water and apply to face. Massage in gentle, circular motions, then leave on for about 1 -2 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
how I use this in my weekly ritual:
I tend to use the UMI Matcha Mask in the shower as more of a cleansing exfoliant, and it makes rinsing off a breeze. When I go for the full masking experience, I've been loving the Chamomile or Chrysalis Hydrosol to keep moist and then when I'm ready to rinse, I take a steamy washcloth, apply to my face and relax for another minute!
Be sure to keep jar dry to prevent spoilage. Use non-metal spoons/bowls/utensils when working with clay due to reactivity.
*OILY SKIN: this cleanser is excellent for pulling and adhering to debris and excess oil. Try mixing powder with Chamomile Hydrosol, witch hazel or aloe vera for a clearing, astringent effect.
*DRY SKIN: this clay mask gently cleanses and balances the skin. Try mixing powder with Rose Hydrosol, honey, or whole milk organic yogurt for a deeply moisturizing effect.
