Each mask also contains various moisturizing ingredients that effectively complement the formula to provide hydration and nourishment for your skin.

What is a mud mask?

A mud mask is a cosmetic product designed for skin care, especially for the face. It is made from natural mud (e.g., from the Dead Sea, thermal springs, or clay deposits) and often contains minerals such as magnesium, calcium, potassium, iron, and other beneficial substances.

What does a mud mask do?

• Cleans pores – mud absorbs excess oil and impurities.
• Detoxifies the skin – helps remove toxins and dead skin cells.
• Mattifies the skin – ideal for oily or combination skin.
• Improves blood circulation – the warming effect can stimulate skin blood flow.
• Soothes and heals – some types of mud have anti-inflammatory properties, useful for acne.

JAPANESE SAKURA MUD MASK – Hydration, pore cleansing, oil control

This mud mask is rich in sakura extract and various moisturizing ingredients that effectively restore moisture and nutrition, leaving the skin rosy and radiant. Thanks to minerals from volcanic mud, it balances oil production, cleans pores, and removes aged keratin. With sufficient nourishment, the skin remains clean, soft, and smooth.

The Japanese Sakura (Prunus serrulata) Mud Mask is a luxurious and gentle facial mask that combines the cleansing properties of clay or mud with the antioxidant, soothing, and brightening benefits of Japanese cherry blossom extract.

EFFECTS: Skin brightening, nourishing, deep cleansing, pore minimizing

Why is sakura good for the skin?

In Japanese cosmetics, sakura blossoms symbolize softness, purity, and youth. They contain:

• Antioxidants – protect the skin from aging and environmental stress.
• Flavonoids – soothe irritation and redness.
• Natural AHA acids – gently support exfoliation.
• Hydrating and brightening effects – for fresh and smooth skin.

Benefits of the sakura mud mask:

• Cleanses and detoxifies the skin (thanks to clay)
• Softens and evens out skin tone
• Brightens and revitalizes tired skin
• Soothes irritation and redness
• Supports a youthful appearance

TEA TREE MUD MASK – Soothes skin and reduces acne

The Tea Tree Mud Mask is especially designed for oily, problematic, and acne-prone skin. It combines the detoxifying properties of clay or mud with the antibacterial power of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia).

EFFECTS: Deep cleansing / oil control / acne removal

Benefits of the tea tree mud mask:

• Deeply cleanses pores – clay binds to dirt and sebum

• Fights acne – acts against Propionibacterium acnes
• Mattifies and refreshes the skin

Suitable for:

⚠️ Note for sensitive skin – tea tree oil may be irritating. A patch test is recommended before use.

EGGPLANT MUD MASK – Smoothing, deep cleansing, moisturizing

The Eggplant Mud Mask is not commonly found in traditional cosmetics, but in natural skincare, eggplant (aubergine) can be used due to its antioxidants, vitamins, and hydrating properties. When mixed with clay or bentonite, it creates a mud-like texture.

EFFECTS: Smoothing / deep cleansing / hydrating

Why is eggplant beneficial for the skin?

• Anthocyanins (especially nasunin) – powerful antioxidants that protect cells

• Hydrating and soothing

Suitable for:

• Dry and irritated skin

MATCHA MUD MASK

Matcha extract contains skin-soothing compounds that help balance moisture levels and reduce redness. It deeply cleanses pores, hydrates the skin, and helps eliminate acne. It effectively brightens the skin tone and reduces fine lines, offering a spa-like experience for your skin.

EFFECTS: Deep cleansing / hydration / oil control / acne reduction

The Matcha Mud Mask is a facial treatment that combines the cleansing power of clay or mud with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of matcha green tea (finely ground green tea). It may not be a classic “mud mask” like those from the Dead Sea, but it mimics the consistency and benefits through the blend of green clay and matcha powder.

Main benefits of the matcha mask:

• Skin detox with clay/mud
• Antioxidant protection – rich in catechins
• Soothing and anti-inflammatory – ideal for irritated or acne-prone skin
