Covid-19 has affected our lives in many ways. But with the season changing and the more we try to protect ourselves from the virus, our skin is starting to suffer, particularly on our faces.

Our skin needs to be detoxed more because of the use of wearing face coverings and face masks. Let's get down to basic science, when you wear a mask, you're breathing into a small area and releasing carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is staying within the same area of the mask and is going back into your skin which can cause spots, rashes and irritation around your mouth area and on your face.

A good way to combat this is by using a detoxifying clay mask such as the L'Oreal Paris Skin Expert Pure Clay Detox Mask. This is really good for detoxing your skin because it gives you a deep clean into your pores and can remove some black heads too, leaving your skin looking fresher, clean and moisturised. It's around £7.99 and has been rated 4.6 stars out of 5 from Boots. 

It uses three clays which are: Kaolin (absorbs impurities and excess sebum), Montmorillonite (rich in minerals and help eliminate the imperfections) & Ghassoul (concentrated in minerals and helps clarify complexion). All three of them combined together are powerful to help detox your skin.

Another product you can use is the Simple Detox & Brighten Clay Mask. This has been rated 5 stars out of 5 from Boots, and is around £4.99. This is from their Protect 'N' Glow range, so its designed to not only cleanse and purify your skin, but is also proven to leave your skin glowing after five minutes. It's also clinically proven to revive your skin with oxygen and minerals, leaving you with radiant skin. This formula has been blended with vitamins c & e and organic ginger root to clear dull, dead skin cells and soothe sensitivity from wearing your face coverings when you're out and about.  

These clay masks have so many benefits and for the price you really can't go wrong. Give your skin some TLC because it's needed so much right now with everything going on, and let me know how you get on.
