OLEHENRIKSEN Violet Ice Cold Plunge Pore Mask

A whipped clay mask that clears pores and keeps skin squeaky clean.


Face masks are a must-have for those days when you just can’t commit to a 12-step skincare routine. OLEHENRIKSEN Violet Ice Cold Plunge Pore Mask is an all-around winner, cleansing and controlling acne all in one product. This mask is made of fluffy whipped clay made of three key ingredients kaolin + purple clay, salicylic acid and Danish purple willow ferment.

The kaolin and purple clay extract and clear up dirt and grime, targeting pesky blackheads, while the salicylic acid keeps acne at bay. While it sounds fancy, the Danish purple willow ferment simply clarifies and cleanses, controlling surface oils for a clean skin feeling. We recommend slathering this mask on clean dry skin and letting it sit for around 15 minutes. Once it’s sat, rinse with warm water. Say hello to clear and clean skin every time.
