—
I took YTTP’s Superclay Purify + Clear Power Mask out for a test drive — and a little of what I call pore maintenance. I’d been seeing this clay mask all over the place and was beginning to feel serious #fomo. Glad I finally got past it.
YTTP’s new pore-refining mask is one of the best clay masks for oily skin — most prone to pore clogging. It’s made with three types of oil-absorbing clays: volcanic clay, white clay and French green clay.
Plus, it’s infused with one of my fave actives – Niacinamide. (Why isn’t that in everything?!) At a 2% concentration, it can help to dissolve embedded gunk in pores. I don’t know if that’s enough to brighten skin. But Niacinamide is a miracle active and I can’t get enough of it. There’s no better pore maintenance than a healthy dose of Niacinamide combined with a BHA.
What Is Niacinamide?
Every time I talk about Niacinamide, I feel the need to stress the unique qualities of Niacinamide — and the remarkable benefits that Vitamin B3 can have for the skin. It’s the one active I use both AM and PM.
Of course, I turn to the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team:
“Also known as vitamin B3 and nicotinic acid, niacinamide is a very effective skin-restoring ingredient that offers multiple benefits for aging and blemish-prone skin. Among these benefits is the ability to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dullness, and a weakened skin surface.
Niacinamide can also mitigate and to some extent help visibly repair damage from UV light and offset other sources of environmental attack, including the negative impact of various types of airborne pollutants. Unlike many beneficial ingredients, niacinamide is stable in the presence of heat and light.”
The Superclay Purify + Clear Power Mask has both — with about a 1% concentration of Red Willow Bark, a natural source of BHA. BHA’s like Willow Bark Extract and Salicylic Acid are the best skincare for clogged pores. And like Niacinamide, they help to dislodge hardened sebum that can become embedded in pores and draw in dirt and pollutants. It’s this cycle that often results in acne breakouts.
So, a little pore maintenance each day is a must! I use Niacinamide twice daily and a BHA toner like the iconic Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant — one of the best toners with Salicylic Acid.
