Can be used once a week, daily or as often as needed to absorb oil. After cleansing and toning, dispense a nickel-sized amount and apply a thin layer all over the face and neck (if needed). Let dry for 10-15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with tepid to warm water. Follow with the appropriate Paula's Choice exfoliant, blemish product, moisturizer, and/or specialty product. Those with oily to very oily skin should use this mask a few times per week, while those with normal to dry skin can use it less frequently (once per week, for example).

Additional info
What makes this product unique?
This mask's unique formula beautifully balances skin by absorbing excess oil without over-drying or making it feel tight. It also doesn't include irritating, skin-damaging ingredients such as menthol, peppermint, or alcohol. The clay’s drawing action helps dislodge blackheads and cellular debris, while the soothing blend of anti-inflammatory agents reduce redness and irritation. The product rinses away completely leaving skin remarkably soft, matte, and beautifully smooth.
This product is 100% fragrance-free.

I thought Paula didn't like clay masks or, at best, finds them unnecessary skin-care products. Did she change her mind?
Paula is not a big fan of most masks and she doesn't believe facial masks are an essential step in a person's skin-care routine. However, for women who want to incorporate them into their routines Paula developed masks that meet her standard of excellence.
