This mask is wonderful. It leaves my skin smooth and absords excess oils without leaving skin dry. I usually exfoliate my skin with a scrub and and a hot washcloth to open pores. Then apply the mask let it dry (about 5-7 minutes) and then rinse with lukewarm water. My pores look tighter and my face looks really clean. I recommend this mask because it is efficient and economical. My skin is sensitive and it doesnt irritate my skin.
