ONE WITH EARTH
Use a clay mask to draw out excess sebum and gently exfoliate skin

The reformulated innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Mask 2X, $21 (100 ml), can now absorb twice the amount of sebum and oil, all while being gentle on skin.
Made with rare Cambrian blue clay from Siberia, the Herbivore Blue Clay Detoxifying Treatment Mask, $35 (60 ml), is ideal for blemish-prone skin as it cleans pores without stripping skin of moisture.
