{Review} Tonymoly Latte Art Milk Cacao Pore Pack

See product info here

I bought this pack prior to the birth of this blog and have been using it regularly since then. I try to use a clay mask a few times a week because clay masks removes oils and other toxins from your face. Plus it also helps shrink your pores.

When you first open this product, you'll see that the "milk" layer and the "cocoa" layer are separate. You'll have to mix this with the spatula that's stuck on the lid. Once you've mixed it, it turns into a light brown color and it's ready to use. (I only mix the layers as I need them)

(This is how it looks once the milk and cocoa layers are mixed together)

First off, you need to cleanse and tone your face. Usually, after putting toner on, I use a peeling gel mask prior to applying this mask on. The peeling gel mask helps remove any dead skin cells off your face. I currently have two kinds of these peeling gel masks at home--the chlorella and pineapple peeling gel (both from Skinfood). Once I am done with the peeling gel, I apply a thin layer of the clay pack on my face. The mask takes about 10-15 minutes to completely dry.

(The left side shows how it looks when the mask is first applied and the right side shows how it looks once it's dried.)

Once the mask has dried, you can wipe it off with a damp towel or wash it off. When the mask has been completely washed/wiped off, you'll see that your face looks much clearer than before, pores appear smaller and your skin is also softer. I love this mask, for its effectiveness and also for the yummy smell.
