Achieve Facial Harmony With Tarte’s New Amazonian Clay Mask

Tarte’s done it. Again. Just a few days back we were gushing over their new Clay Stick Foundation, which is packed chockfull of skin-loving stuff, including their famed ingredient, the Amazonian clay. The latest addition to their family is nothing makeup related; but instead focused on skincare, to create the healthy base for your makeup to glide on beautifully.
Now, Tarte isn’t a brand that’s foreign to skincare. They already have quite a number of Holy Grail-worthy products for our complexions — just to name a couple, the Drink of H2O Hydrating Boost Moisturiser does provide that shot of moisture our skin needs; while the Dive Deep Cleansing Gel serves as a non-greasy and brightening face cleanser and waterproof makeup remover. What they don’t have, are products that incorporate their one star ingredient, the Amazonian clay; and facial masks. Until now, that is.

We hope you’ve managed to catch our drift by now — what Tarte should have put out, years ago, given their success when it comes to Amazonian clay, is in fact Amazonian clay masks. Y’know, a step up from the usual ones that we use. But as usual, where’s the fun in a basic tub of clay? Taste has instead very cleverly pushed the boundaries of masking, in fact, the idea of multi-masking — and launched their Tight & Bright Clay Multi-Mask.
What this tub of product has, are actually two different types of masks. There’s the Purple Detoxifying & Purifying Exfoliating Mask, for the obvious reason of cleaning out pores and getting rid of blackheads. It’s formulated with jojoba, sweet almond and avocado oil to keep your skin moisturised too. The other side, the slightly flashier one, holds the Gold Hydrating and Firming Mask. It’s of a gel-type texture, and is especially soothing on the delicate areas of your face, such as under the eyes and around your nose. These masks can be used in tandem — like the yin-and-yang of masking — when you really need to target specific areas fast, or used one after another for a luxurious Sunday night pamper sesh.
For now, prices are set at US$40 and the mask will launch on tartecosmetics.com on June 6. We’ll keep you updated as to when they’ll be available in local Sephora stores.
