Skin care review: Madagascar White Clay Drawing mask

Hi everyone

I hope your doing well, today I will be reviewing the Sheaterraorganics Madagascar White Clay drawing face mask.
I love using masks once or twice a week depending on how much cleansing or detoxifying I need. I especially love using masks if I had used a lot of heavy duty make up for that day or week. I feel that it cleanses my skin and gets rid piled on dirt.

Product Claims:
100% Natural. What do you do to ensure flawless skin? Do you Draw? Discover the technique that has kept skin in Madagascar looking flawless for ages without the usage of harsh chemicals.
Size: 3.4 oz.

Have you ever looked at the skin of a Malagassy woman? Women of Madagascar have brilliantly flawless skin. Largely living under the poverty line, not being able to afford expensive washes, masks and beauty creams, how come their skin is often more beautiful than people who spend thousands to look good? Their secret is in the mask. Exotic pictures of the Malagassy people often pop up here and there with their white painted faces. This is not voodoo or animism. This is a beauty ritual that dates back thousands of years.
The Malagassy women of Madagascar apply to their faces a special white clay that they source from the wild of their island nation. They wear the mask to protect their faces from the sun and to maintain flawless skin without the use of sometimes hard to find and or afford soaps. The clay draws out impurities in the skin bringing them to white heads which can then be extracted. Unlike many white clays, the white clay of Madagascar does not dry out skin. In fact it leaves the skin pleasantly soft.
Contains only: pure Madagascar white clay
Put 1/2 tsp. of clay in a bowl. Add enough hot water to it to make into a semi-liquid mask. Apply to face. Can be worn for as little as 30 minutes or all day and night. Rinse off well with tepid water. Repeat 2-5 days a week.
  • 100% Natural

Product experience:
The product comes in a 3 oz. glass jar for $28 USD. The  glass jar contains an inner seal typical of any Sheaterra products that comes in a jar or pot to preserve freshness. What I have right now is the old packaging sheaterra changed the packaging, it is still a glass jar but from what I see in the picture it has a cork stopper instead of a plastic screw top.
The clay mask comes in a white powder so be very careful opening the jar because the powder can fly every where.
To use just take a small amount they recommend 1/2 a teaspoon and mix it with a few drops of water. To form a semi- liquid mask. Just apply the mask to your face let it dry and sit on your skin for 30 minute and wash the product out.

Just a hint
I said to use a few drops of water because its easy to add to much water and end up with a very liquidy mask. It's best to start with a few drops and add a little more water if necessary in order to spread the product evenly.
Also you can use other water infused products. Products like Rose water, orange water. It will make the mask more fragrant and gain more benefits from mix.
