• Kaolin is also a mineral clay, called hydrous aluminum silicate. Unlike bentonite (which is typically quite hefty) kaolin is a very fine and whitish powder it lightly increases the opacity and thickness of the formula without making it heavy. Hence, in this mask, it allows targeting, absorbing, and finally, removing all traces of oil on the skin surface by applying a fine and even layer of the product;
• Cucumber is a nutritious and very water-rich vegetable. Besides 95% water, it contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C), caffeic acid (an antioxidant), fatty acids, the mineral silica, plus other trace minerals. Due to its antioxidant activity, cucumber is a beneficial addition to a wrinkle-preventive routine;
• Zinc Oxide is a very popular skin soothing component. Besides physical sunscreens and diaper rash barrier creams, it enrolls the ingredients of masks like this one due to its ability to minimize irritation and redness;
• Propylene glycol is also a weightless humectant. It is the main source for allowing the formula of this mask to remain effective and enlarge its shelf life. It acts in two different phases. First of all, it helps the nutrients in the product to absorb faster and deeper into the skin, making it spread evenly. In a second phase, it attracts a sufficient amount of water into deeper layers of it, keeping the barrier healthy;

With a cleansed and dry skin, apply an adequate amount of Mario Badescu Drying Mask for covering the whole face. Alternatively, apply only on targeted skin areas where blemishes have emerged. Avoid the periocular area. Let the product sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry. If it accidentally gets in the eye area, make sure to remove it immediately with abundant water. For optimal results, use in conjunction with Mario Badescu's Healing & Soothing Mask.
