Green Clay & Tea Tree Anti-Pimple Mask
(Often referred to as “Green Ball” in DIY skincare communities)
A natural, green-hued mask or spot treatment formulated with green clay (bentonite/illite) and tea tree oil, designed to dry out pimples, absorb excess oil, and reduce inflammation. The “ball” shape may refer to a molded clay mask or concentrated pimple patches.
Key Benefits
✨ Oil Absorption: Green clay draws out impurities and sebum from clogged pores.
✨ Anti-Bacterial: Tea tree oil (5–10% dilution) fights C. acnes bacteria.
✨ Redness Reduction: Calms inflamed breakouts with anti-inflammatory agents like aloe vera or chamomile.
✨ Prevents Scarring: Minimizes post-acne hyperpigmentation with gentle exfoliation.
