The fourth product we were sent for review by Citrus Clear is their Citrus Clear Pore & Blackhead Extracting Mask. I use this mask about twice a week and love the results.

Citrus Clear Pore & Blackhead Extracting Mask reminds me of Liz Earle’s Intensive Nourishing Treatment Mask. Both hydrate the skin and tighten pores so leave a youthful, glowing finish. I have noticed that several small (and stubborn) blackheads have extracted after use, which is impressive for a non-abrasive mask.

An interesting ingredient I noticed in the list is Spirulina, which I use in either pill or powder form as an anti-inflammatory and always gives my skin a glow. It seems to work just as impressively topically as it does internally (and Spirulina tastes horrible, so I’ll take topical any day if the results are the same.)

I use the mask as a negotiating tactic to get myself out of bed on early mornings – I set my alarm, turn on the coffee pot, apply the mask, and rest for a few minutes while the mask works its’ magic. It’s a relaxing way to start the day, and when I head in the shower, I simply wash it off with a soft washcloth. I find that my skin is more supple if I don’t use cleanser after, simply washing off the mask is enough cleansing for the morning.

I’m really thrilled with Citrus Clear is their Citrus Clear Pore & Blackhead Extracting Mask for both the hydrating and extracting properties. I’ll definitely pick more up when I empty out the jar.
