Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

I feel that this is one of those products that is advertised to be convenient, but didn't really seem that way to me. I found that even though the mask was easy to apply with the stick, it was still somewhat difficult to rise off (took about 4-5 rinses to remove it completely). So you'd probably have a better time with it in the shower. It also gets messy while you’re applying as the clay starts Show more
