Lykkers, I swear clay masks somehow make me feel like I’ve restarted my entire life even when I’m just sitting in pajamas at 11 PM. Lately my skin has been looking tired, oily around my nose, and weirdly rough, so I decided to bring clay masks back into my routine.

I ended up trying these two, and honestly… they gave completely different energy.

1. Kleveru Rose & Sea Buckthorn Pink Clay Mask

I’m not even going to lie, I first picked this because the pink color looked too cute to ignore. The whole vibe felt soft and calming from the start. When I applied it, the texture felt smooth and creamy instead of thick like cement, which already made me happy because I hate masks that dry too aggressively. The rose scent made my skincare night feel extra relaxing. I put it on while watching random videos and suddenly felt like I had my life together for twenty minutes.

What surprised me most was how my skin looked afterward. My face felt clean, but not that overly dry kind of clean. My nose area looked less oily, my skin felt softer, and somehow my complexion looked fresher too. I actually kept touching my cheeks because they felt ridiculously smooth.

2. AXIS-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack

This one feels completely different. The moment I opened it, the herbal mugwort scent instantly gave calming spa energy. It felt less “cute skincare” and more “my skin seriously needs help tonight.” I usually reach for this when my skin feels irritated, overheated, or clogged after being outside too long. The texture felt cooling the moment I spread it on, and honestly, that cooling feeling alone made me obsessed.

After washing it off, my skin looked calmer and more balanced. My pores especially around my nose and cheeks looked cleaner, but my skin still felt comfortable and hydrated. That’s rare for me because clay masks usually make my cheeks feel tight afterward. The next morning, my makeup sat so much better too. My skin texture looked smoother, and I had that healthy fresh-skin look without needing extra effort.

I genuinely like both, but for different moods. If I want my skin to look fresh, soft, and glowy before makeup or photos, I always grab the Kleveru Pink Mask. But when my skin feels stressed, oily, or tired from the weather, the AXIS-Y Mugwort Pack becomes my comfort product.
