Treating your skin to a Hungarian Mud Mask might just be one of the best facial cleansing experiences you’ll have this year.

In general, when you see mud as an essential ingredient in a face mask, it’s usually there to detoxify the skin. Because that’s what it does best. It will detoxify the skin, bring any toxins to the surface and out of your pores and leave your skin with a soft glow. But how exactly do mud masks work, and is it different from a clay mask treatment? Let’s find out!

How Mud Masks Work

Even as children, we have this intuitive sense that mud is great for our skin. But were we just trying to play with the earth, or was there something organic and beneficial to this playtime? Mud, as you can imagine, is loaded with natural minerals. Without these nutrients we wouldn't be able to grow fruits, vegetables, beans, legumes and trees. It’s these very nutrients that the plants benefit from, that our skin too, will benefit from. 

Mud masks are famous for not only adding rich nutrients to the skin, but also cleansing and clarifying the skin as well. It works at purifying and deep cleaning the skin and pores. When mud masks pull out the impurities of the skin, we end up with a more even skin tone, with fewer blackheads, pimples and scars on the face left behind from acne. 

Mud contains amino acids, enzymes, tannin, silica and sugars. These ingredients and elements found in mud have anti inflammatory, antibacterial, and purifying properties. But let’s get knee-deep into the skin benefits of Mud Masks, shall we?

Benefits of Mud Masks for the Skin

If you love researching natural cosmetics and the natural benefits of many natural ingredients, then you can probably already guess all the ways the skin will benefit from a mud mask. But for those of us new to the natural world of cosmetics, or for those of us who want the facts, let’s get exploring. 

Benefits of mud masks include:

• Works as a natural astringent- many of the minerals present in mud have the power to shrink and tighten our pores. When we use mud masks regularly, then we will quickly notice our pores looking both smaller and cleaner. 
• Removes excess oil from the skin- mud masks are extremely beneficial for those of us who have oily skin. Whether it’s all summer long, or all year long, mud works at absorbing all that excess oil from the skin and pores and gently dries it out. By removing excess oil, we are also less prone to breakouts and flare ups. 
• Nourishing and Hydrating- mud masks will both remove impurities from the skin, but will also hydrate the skin, replacing the dirt and debris with minerals and nutrients. Mud masks have the power to really penetrate the skin and cleanse the pores beyond a superficial cleanse. 
• Treats eczema and other skin conditions- mud masks work well on all skin types. They have the power to treat eczema, dermatitis and other skin conditions with their natural minerals that quickly and naturally get absorbed into the skin.
