Purify, Calm, and Reset Your Skin
For skin that is oily, acne-prone, or irritated, finding balance can be a challenge. Deep Cleanse Herbal Face Mask is a powerful, powdered blend of absorbent clays and potent botanicals designed to act as a complete reset for your complexion. This dry mask format allows you to activate its full potential with water or hydrosol just moments before use, ensuring maximum freshness and potency. It works to draw out deep-seated impurities, calm active inflammation, and soak up excess oil, leaving your skin feeling clean, clear, and serene.
 
We formulated this mask as a weekly treatment to support those struggling with the "damp heat" conditions of acne, congestion, and irritation. By blending mineral-rich clays with a targeted complex of herbs favored in Traditional Chinese Medicine Dermatology, this mask helps to detoxify the skin on a deeper level. It addresses the root causes of breakouts and redness, helping to restore a healthy, balanced canvas.
 
A Detoxifying Blend of Earth and Herbs
This mask is a synergy of oil-absorbing clays and a sophisticated profile of "heat-clearing" botanicals that work together to purify and soothe.
 
Why it works:
Absorbs and Detoxifies: A dual base of Kaolin and Bentonite clays acts like a magnet for dirt, oil, and environmental pollutants. These clays pull congestion from the pores, helping to reduce their appearance and prevent future breakouts.
Cools Heat and Fights Blemishes: We include a powerful TCM herbal complex featuring Zi Hua Di Ding (Violet), Hu Zhang (Japanese Knotweed), and Huang Qin (Baikal Skullcap). This trio is renowned for its ability to clear toxic heat, reduce swelling, and combat the underlying causes of angry, red blemishes.
Soothes and Calms: To ensure the detoxification process is gentle, we've added finely ground Oat Kernel Flour, Licorice Root, and Green Tea. These ingredients work to soothe redness, calm itching, and provide antioxidant protection to stressed skin.
Balances with Marine Minerals: Seaweeds like Sargassum and Kelp (Kun Bu) are rich in minerals that help soften hard nodules and balance skin hydration, ensuring your face feels purified but not stripped.
 
A Holistic Ritual for Clear Skin
At Silva Medica Botanicals (formerly Thirteen Moons Apothecary), we believe in treating the skin with potent, natural solutions. The Deep Cleanse Herbal Face Mask is an essential part of a holistic routine to manage oily and breakout-prone skin. It offers a moment of ritualistic care that supports your skin's own ability to find clarity and balance.
 
How to Use
•Mix 1 teaspoon of powder with 1–2 teaspoons of water or your favorite toner (like our Frankincense Toner) to form a smooth paste.
 
•Apply a thin layer to clean skin, avoiding the immediate eye area. Let the mask work for 8–12 minutes. Do not let it fully dry or crack on the skin; mist with water if needed to keep it slightly damp.
 
•Rinse away gently with warm water and a soft cloth. Use 1–3 times weekly or as directed by your Herbalist or Chinese Medicine Dermatologist.
