The Problem Solver: The mask with a superhero reputation

Wow is one of the most common comments we receive about The Problem Solver. Acne, spots, irritation, congestion, dullness... nothing can resist it.

The Problem Solver is probably the product I've been using for the longest time. I remember when I was creating custom formulas for my clients with serious skin conditions—that was quite a few years ago—this mask worked wonders on skin that didn't respond to any other treatment and adapted to every challenge my sensitive skin presented. At that moment, I clearly knew I had to share this treasure with others.

Whether I have acne-prone, dull, irritated, or healthy skin, this mask is always my go-to.

The impact a single product can bring to your beauty routine is unmatched by The Problem Solver mask, whether for problematic skin or to restore a brighter, healthier tone to already balanced skin. Unlike most clay masks, this one doesn't dry out your skin while it works.

The Problem Solver is famous for the active warming sensation it creates on the skin. Don't worry, the combination of powerful ingredients is already working to achieve beautiful skin. Let's talk a little more about them:

• Cayenne is a key ingredient for fighting acne and beautifying the skin. It stimulates blood flow in the skin, allowing necessary oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells. It reduces inflammation and swelling and provides antioxidant carotenoids, flavonoids, and high concentrations of vitamins A, C, and E.

• Nutmeg and clove are antifungal and antibacterial, stopping any flare-ups instantly. Nutmeg is also a natural skin lightener, softening blemishes and discoloration.

• Clove has a stimulating effect on the mind, which helps reduce mental exhaustion and fatigue.

• Cinnamon facilitates the synthesis of collagen in the skin, the relaxation of which is a cause of skin aging as we mature with age.

• Raw cacao has genuine antioxidant superpowers (one cacao bean has 621 antioxidants, compared to 32 in a blueberry), and has the secondary effect of reducing stress hormones—this is clinically proven.

• Its distinctive black color comes from bamboo charcoal. In many parts of Asia, this sexy-sounding ingredient has been used for centuries for its ability to deeply and gently cleanse pores, absorbing minerals, toxins, impurities, and other harmful substances from the skin. It's known as the "black diamond" of healers and treats everything from acne to eczema with grace and ease. Once brought to life by mixing it with water, bamboo charcoal releases many beneficial minerals, including calcium, potassium, and magnesium.

• Rhassoul Clay: Truly one of the most effective ingredients for glowing skin, it's rich in trace elements such as silica, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, and sodium. Due to its high mineral content and impurity-absorbing properties, this clay is incredible for cleansing and detoxifying. In clinical trials, Rhassoul Clay has been shown to be effective in improving skin elasticity and clarity, and in reducing pore blockage, flaking, and dryness.

• Fuller's Earth clay is a natural sedimentary clay composed primarily of alumina, silica, iron oxides, lime, and magnesium. It has been widely used as a skin-clarifying agent, affecting the outer epidermal layer. It uniquely absorbs excess oil from the skin, making it my number one choice for oily or acne-prone skin.

• Hawaiian salt is a type of sea salt created through the natural evaporation of water over red volcanic clay. Its red color comes from the extremely high level of iron, and it contains up to 80 naturally occurring minerals. The healing nutrients in Hawaiian salt can be absorbed directly through the skin, drawing out and eliminating toxins while promoting a smooth, healthy complexion.

Its surprising cocoa aroma with spicy bursts is incredibly relaxing. Be generous with the amount of product; there's a reason this jar is five times larger than the average.

Application tips:

For best results, don't skimp (there's a reason this jar is 5 times larger than the average). Mix one scoop of powder with just one tablespoon of water and stir until you get a mousse. Smooth it all over your face with a mask brush or your fingers and leave it on for 45 glorious minutes.

Once it has dried, it is time to remove it and you can do so effortlessly with water.

If you decide to also apply it to your neck and décolletage, remove it in the shower, first allowing the steam to penetrate and rehydrate the mask.

To make the treatment even more effective, the secret is to remove the mask with a massage, so use your fingertips to do the work. Repeat once or twice a week.
