Masks

Face masks offer an opportunity to slow down and provide targeted care beyond daily cleansing and moisturising. When formulated thoughtfully, skincare masks can help nurture the skin, support balance, and enhance overall skin comfort without disrupting the skin’s natural function.

At The Functional Skin, our masks are designed to work with the skin rather than aggressively correcting it. This collection brings together our own mask alongside some of Australia and New Zealand's best clean beauty options, all chosen with the same health-conscious standard in mind.

Explore The Functional Skin Masks

Clay-based skincare masks are often used to help support a balanced complexion, which is why many people exploring pink clay masks benefits are looking for gentle purification and conditioning rather than harsh treatments.

Our own Ruby Radiance Mask is a multi-use wet mask formulated with French Red Clay, wildcrafted raw honey, and grapeseed oil to gently purify, nourish, and condition the skin. Formulated in micro batches in Australia, it is designed to support long-term skin health and balance. The Ruby Radiance Mask can be used as a nurturing mask, a gentle cleanser, or a mild exfoliant, making it suitable for all skin types when used mindfully.

Frequently Asked Face Mask Questions

What does a face mask do for the skin?

I like to think  of face masks as treating the concern present in your skin at that moment. If you have a breakout, a clay mask may be useful. If you are extra dehydrated, a hydrating mask may help. When used appropriately, skincare masks can complement your regular routine by offering deeper care without replacing daily cleansing and moisturising.

The Ruby Mask is hard to apply. Am I doing it wrong?

Likely! The Ruby Mask is set in the tub and needs to be applied to wet skin with a wet brush for it to apply smoothly. We recommend decanting a pea-sized amount into a bowl, adding a drop of water and then applying to a wet face.

How often should I use a face mask?

Most masks, including The Ruby Radiance Mask, are best used one to two times per week. Overuse can overwhelm the skin, particularly if it is sensitive or compromised.

What makes the Ruby Radiance Mask different from traditional clay masks?

The Ruby Radiance Mask is a wet clay mask formulated with nourishing ingredients like raw honey and grapeseed oil. This helps provide a more balanced experience compared to traditional dry clay masks, which can feel overly stripping for some skin types.

Can the Ruby Radiance Mask be used as a cleanser or exfoliant?

Yes. In addition to being used as a mask, Ruby can be applied to wet skin and gently massaged for up to one minute as a mild cleanser or exfoliant. This multi-use approach allows you to tailor use based on your skin’s needs.

Will clay masks dry out my skin?

Clay masks can feel drying if they are left on too long or formulated without supportive ingredients. The Ruby Radiance Mask combines French Red Clay with raw honey and grapeseed oil to help condition the skin while gently purifying, reflecting the more balanced approach many people seek when researching pink clay masks benefits.

How should I remove the Ruby Radiance Mask?

For mask use, apply to damp skin and remove with warm water and a soft cloth after up to 20 minutes. Avoid scrubbing or aggressive removal to protect the skin barrier.

Are these cleansers pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly?

The Functional Skin cleansers are formulated with gentle, naturally derived ingredients and are commonly used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have specific concerns, it is always best to consult your healthcare provider
