Not long ago, L’Oreal took over the beauty scene by launching three Pure Clay masks that soon became every beauty guru’s favourites! My Instagram was plastered with photos of people “multi-masking” with L’Oreal Detoxifying, Mattifying, and Exfoliating masks. I don’t just jump on the bandwagon, you know.
