Each application works to brighten and renew to achieve revived skin that\u2019s noticeably luminous and firmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover the luxury volcanic exfoliating mask\u2019s active ingredients that are tailor-made to accommodate sensitive skin:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>French clay swiftly detoxifies skin impurities without drying your skin out.<\/li><li>Mandelic acid\u2019s larger molecular structure compared to all other acids used in skincare means it\u2019s able to deliver ultra gentle exfoliation like nothing else.<\/li><li>Icelandic volcanic sand\u2019s micro particles physically exfoliate and act as a magnet to attract congestion and excess oil.<\/li><li>Black lava and charcoal gently cleanse and minimize the appearance of pores to leave your skin looking immediately more balanced.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-top-5-benefits-of-magic-black-ice\"><a><\/a>Top 5 Benefits of Magic Black Ice&#x2122;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/product\/magic-black-ice.html\">Magic Black Ice&#x2122;<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>is Arcona\u2019s must-have mask for gentle skin purifying, exfoliating, hydrating, and soothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding this bestseller to your weekly self-care routine will work to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Exfoliate to reveal new, fresh skin<\/li><li>Purify and decongest blocked pores<\/li><li>Balance and regulate oil production<\/li><li>Brighten and help even skin tone<\/li><li>Smooth and soften skin texture<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-2-ways-to-use-this-luxury-facial-treatment\"><a><\/a>2 Ways to Use This Luxury Facial Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that when it comes to exfoliating sensitive skin, a rinse-off formula is always the more preferable option. The shorter period of contact with your skin means less risk of irritation than a leave-on exfoliant (i.e. AHA serums). What\u2019s more, Magic Black Ice\u2019s soft texture wipes off effortlessly without the need to scrub it off with a washcloth in order to remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-as-a-mask\"><a><\/a>As a Mask<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After cleansing and drying your skin, apply an even layer of Magic Black Ice&#x2122; to your face and neck. Leave it on between 8-20 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Use it every 3-7 days for maximum results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Activate deeper exfoliation by gently massaging the facial treatment with wet fingertips. Massage in small circular motions for 1 minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-as-a-gommage\"><a><\/a>As a Gommage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On damp skin, apply a teaspoon of Magic Black Ice&#x2122; to your face, neck, and d\u00e9collet\u00e9 in light upward and outward circles. Apply the product with water until you reach the desired consistency. Rinse off and repeat every 3-7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whichever way you choose to use Magic Black Ice&#x2122;, the end result is the same: smoother, more refined skin surface without sacrificing skin\u2019s comfort and function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Arcona-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1251\" width=\"679\" height=\"679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Arcona-8.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Arcona-8-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Arcona-8-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Arcona-8-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 679px) 100vw, 679px\" \/><figcaption>The Correct Way to Exfoliate Sensitive Skin &#8211; Magic Black Ice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/product\/magic-black-ice.html\"><em><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Shop Magic Black Ice&#x2122; here.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Also read:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcona.com\/blog\/what-is-chirally-correct-skincare-and-why-is-it-better-for-you\/\"><em><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why Chirally Correct Skincare Matters.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Written by Chanel Jenae &amp; Keemia Kaboli<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s no secret that sensitive skin struggles with exfoliation.
