Mango Detan Clay Mask puts tranexamic acid and vitamin C at the centre of a twice-a-week clay mask for skin that has tanned, spotted or gone uneven in the sun. Kaolin does the lifting, arbutin backs up the even look, and mango extract keeps the finish soft. The jar names tan removal and glowing skin as its purpose.

FOR SKIN THAT LOOKS DARKER, DULLER OR PATCHIER THAN IT DID IN SPRING
Twenty minutes, twice a week, for what the sun left behind.
A tan is pigment the skin made in self-defence, sitting in cells that will shed on their own schedule. A clay mask speeds the surface part of that: kaolin lifts the dead cells as it dries, and the brightening ingredients sit on the skin for far longer than a wash allows.
Kaolin is a soft white clay. As the mask dries it draws oil and grime and loosens dead, pigmented surface cells, and the rinse takes them with it.
The jar names tan removal as its purpose and says it helps remove tan and brighten the skin. That is what the mask is formulated to do, not a measured result; the surface tan responds first.
Tranexamic acid, vitamin C and arbutin are the three ingredients skincare associates with a more even look over time. The jar names dark spots among the concerns it is designed for.
Vitamin C is the antioxidant most associated with a brighter-looking complexion, and it is the second lead in the mask's name.
Mango is the fruit in the name. Its extract is known for a nourishing, softening character and is why the jar says skin feels soft, smooth and radiant after the rinse.
The description calls it suitable for all skin types and particularly for frequent sun exposure. Patch test first, and keep to the two-or-three-times-a-week rhythm on the jar.

WHAT A DETAN MASK CAN AND CANNOT DO
The surface tan lifts. Deeper pigment takes its time.
Sun-darkened skin has two layers to it: dead, pigmented cells on the surface that a clay can lift today, and pigment lower down that only fades as the skin renews over weeks. A mask that promises both in one sitting is promising the second thing it cannot do.
Mango Detan Clay Mask is honest about the split. Kaolin does the same-day surface work; tranexamic acid, vitamin C and arbutin are the ingredients skincare associates with a more even look over time; mango extract keeps the skin soft after the rinse. Keep it to two or three sittings a week, wear sunscreen in between, and judge it over a month.

A NEW MASK IN THE RANGE
The result should show in the mirror after the rinse.
No before-and-after photographs are shown for Mango Detan Clay Mask, because none have been taken under matched conditions. It is new in the range, and published reviews will appear on this page as they arrive. What to judge it on is skin that looks brighter and feels soft the same evening, and an even tone that builds over weeks with sunscreen.
BUILD A ROUTINE AROUND THE MASK
Wash. Mask. Serum. Protect by day.
Pair Mango Detan Clay Mask with the Tanclear wash and serum and a daily sunscreen, and adjust the frequency to your skin and the current pack directions.
The surface part shows after the first rinse as brighter-looking skin. Deeper pigment fades as the skin renews, over weeks, and only if sunscreen stops new tan forming.
Two or three times a week, as the jar directs. Clay masks used daily can leave skin dry.
The description calls it suitable for all skin types, but it contains vitamin C and tranexamic acid. Patch test on the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before first full use.
The jar directs it for the face and neck. On other tanned areas it works the same way; patch test first.
Not for long. The sun that made the tan will make it again; wear sunscreen every day between sittings.
Kaolin, vitamin C, arbutin, tranexamic acid and mango extract.
