New "Be Product" Clay Mask On CVS Shelves


by KD1964 Jan 11, 2007 fileunderFound in Be Fine Warming Clay Mask


I found the best clay mask on the market and it’s by “Be Fine” food skin care (I’ve never heard of it).  The box caught my eye, it has pomegranate seeds on the cover and I know not to judge a book by its cover, but it was intriguing. 

I tried it for about 1 month (because I don’t apply it every day) before I decided whether to keep it or throw it away, but after the first use, I felt like I just came back from getting a facial at the spa.  I don’t believe it is psychosomatic because visibly, my skin looks smoother and clearer.  I touched my face and it felt smoother.

The company uses natural ingredients (fruits, vegetables and plants) and the natural proteins and vitamins purify the skin. For the health conscious folks reading this, the clay masks active ingredients include cardamom, arnica, and pomegranate, the box reads, "…rich in natural enzymes and humectants, Pomegranate stabilizes free-radicals.  Cardamom and Arnica's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties tone, soothe and heal."  Does this sound too good to be true?  Well it is good, and it is true.  It extracts the dirt and oils from my face and after a month, I believe I no longer need my acne treatments.  From now on, I’m not going to put anything on my skin that I can’t eat.

In my past experiences, I used lots of clay masks; the most effective one was an expensive kind that was Dead Sea mud. It was rather effective in that it cleared up my skin, but it burned and irritated my skin and had red blotches on my cheeks. My mother always said pain is part of beauty, but it shouldn’t be that painfully enduring. I had similar irritations from other clay masks at spas, but the Be Products clay mask is not like those others.

First, I washed my face before applying it.  As I rubbed the clay on my face-immediately it started to feel warm, like hot towels on my face.  I anticipated that I would soon feel the burning sensation, but as minutes went by the clay started to cool.  When I washed it off the first time, it left my cheeks rosy and my face was glowing!  My skin looked youthful and felt moisturized that I didn’t bother to put on moisturizing lotion.

If you also have sensitive skin, allergic to fragrances, and want to take excellent care of your skin, this is the product for you.   It also says that it is good for all skin types. I will no longer buy the expensive junk in hoping that it would work, this spa in a bottle was found at CVS in RI and incredibly reasonable in price. I have renewed my faith in clay masks and converted to this unknown, new product line.  Now, I must try their other Be Products. 

I found that they have a website: http://www.befinefoodskincare.com 

They are not selling their products online.

Hi, I just used the product for the first time today. It is also the first time i used a clay mask so I don't really know how to apply it on. do you apply it on after you dry your face or when the face is still wet? Also after rinsing it off, is the face suppose to feel oily and sticky? caz that is happening to me now, mines is like oily and a bit sticky and shiny x.x

I wet my face first then I apply a thin, yet equal layer on my face and let it sit until it is dry. Wet face makes it easier to spread. Since it is clay and a rather thick texture, washing it off takes some effort. I use a damp wash cloth. I got the same texture on my face that you speak of, it looks like my skin is waterproof, right? Although, the texture of my skin doesn't feel sticky after using it. It reminds of washing my hair with conditioner for the first time and constantly rinsing my hair because it felt like it is still on it. I have tried other clay masks and they offer a similar texture. For people that have never used masks of any kind acquire a liking to it. Why? because it offers great benefits for the skin (detoxing and cleansing). Why I like this one so much is because it offers health benefits to it (antioxidants and moisturizes as well as detox/cleanse).  Although it may feel like you didn't do a thorough wash, the natural clay actually absorbed oil in the skin, as well as helped maintain the moisture in your skin. How do I know? From trying lots of different kinds and your skin is not supposed to be left feeling super dry and taut. Since it leaves my face moisturized, I don't have to add facial moisturizer to my face. For me, I found it makes putting on powder make up easier. The shiny-ness goes away, but for my skin tone (olive) it makes my face look like it is glowing, which is one of the reasons why I like it so much. The product should have some sort of literature either on their product packaging or on the site that tells the consumer what to anticipate. I can see for a consumer that has never used something like this, it is pretty sophisticated. I suggest trying a different one from another company for comparison, or stick with this one and continue to use it to get comfortable with it.
