Get Dirty, Then Clean, With These 10 Face and Body Mud Masks
A little dirt never hurt.
Sheet masks continue to own the skincare craze, but let us not forget the purifying elements of nature's most natural cleanser: mud. To bank on Earth's beautifying basics, we've rounded up the best face and body masks that really clean up.
Hokku Spa Technology Green Tea Volcanic Mud Facial Mask
$20 BUY NOW
Hokku is bringing a literal spa treatment to your home! Derived from Asian volcanic mud, the a-list mud mask has been considered a miracle for all complexions, and has been exclusively used in spas across the country from New York to Beverly Hills — until now! The ultra luxe mask combines foodie and beauty must-haves green tea and mud for a multitasking formula that extracts oils, cleanses the pores, and keeps skin hydrated.
Borghese Moisturize Mud Mask for Face and Body
$33 BUY NOW
A face and body mud mask designed to treat stale skin, Borghese's full face, body, or spot treatment is a thicker formula comprised of olive oil and blood orange. Boasting a no-buts-about-it breakdown, its key ingredients secure moisture into the skin for a radiant complexion you'll only need to spare five minutes max for.
GLAMGLOW GravityMud Firming Treatment
$22 BUY NOW
The latest from GLAMGLOW is a muddied mask set to cater to more than minor breakouts. Not your typical rinse-off regimen, the reimagined formula peels off the skin after setting for anywhere between 20 and 30 minutes. The pot of silver is still pretty lucky, providing users an anti-aging, skin balancing, and tightening solution in one.
Sephora Collection Mud Mask Purifying & Mattifying
$20 BUY NOW
Delivering a sense of relief to those suffering from oily skin, the Sephora Collection mud mask is, well, muddy with a twist. Getting down and dirty never hurt nobody, and in this case, it'll save your skin from dehydration and discoloration with a little help from zinc, copper, and white clay. The formula is a quick fix; massage on for one minute before letting the goop sit, set, and dry completely before rinsing with warm water. It gently works away impurities by absorbing into skin, unclogging pores, and tackling pesky signs of aging.
AHAVA Purifying Mud Mask
$35 BUY NOW
AHAVA's purifying mask is a completely new experience for those used to luxe sheet masks drenched in cool, gel-like serum. The Dead Sea Mud Mask has been enhanced with minerals, so don't be turned off by that grainy feel over your skin — it's just the tough stuff sloughing away impurities. Natural extracts like horsetail and jojoba oil act as an antiseptic to balance the complexion and cancel out excess oil, allowing users to apply as a full face or acne spot treatment.
GLAMGLOW Supermud Clearing Treatment
$69 BUY NOW
Acceptable for all skin types, GLAMGLOW's supercharged mud mask was developed by dermatological chemists to ensure the best results for every issue including breakouts, blackheads, and razor bumps, among others. Featuring key ingredients like activated charcoal to extract harmful toxins from the pores, it's a 10-to-20-minute rinse-off treatment that renews skin with continual use.
Art Naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask for Face & Body
$10 BUY NOW
Mud baths and masks are an exotic experience, but you don't have to hop on a plane and go all tropical vacay on your bod to reap the benefits of another country's delicacy (but by all means, please do). Art Naturals' super popular mud mask has been derived from authentic Dead Sea mud from Israel and can (should!) be used by women, men, and teens alike! The formula is known to be a skintox, extracting impurities and toxins from your pores to combat conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and more.
Josie Maran Whipped Mud Mask Argan Hydrating and Detoxifying Treatment
$48 BUY NOW
You would think "whipped" and "mud" would be opposing terms, but somehow Josie Maran's hydrating mask defies this logic as she's whisked together a blend of argan oil and Moroccan rhassoul clay that's almost airy. To see the best results, methodically apply the mud mask over damp skin and leave on for five to10 minutes. The clarifying balm (now available in juicy mango) wakes up the skin, enhancing your natural glow and restoring any lost elasticity.
Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask
$58 BUY NOW
With a boost from Peter Thomas Roth's black mask (and a little Irish luck), we guarantee your pores will be replenished. Derived from authentic Irish moor mud and enriched with hijiki seaweed, this 10-minute rinse-away mask extracts impurities residing deep in pores while also reducing visible signs of fine lines and wrinkles.
LUSH Cosmetics Cupcake Fresh Face Mask
$10 BUY NOW
We highly advise you not taste-test LUSH's chocolatey mud mask prior to application. It is not, and will not, taste like icing — it will, however, smell like a whipped Girl Scout confection for your face. Win some, lose some, right? A recipe for revitalized skin, Cupcake is made with rhassoul mud, cocoa powder and butter, fresh mint, and fair-trade vanilla absolute; a decadent sweet treat for your skin.
