At Umber, we created our 3 in 1 Balancing Face Mask to support skin that’s reactive, oily, or hormonally imbalanced. This powder-to-paste mask helps absorb excess oil, calm irritation, and fade dark marks from acne, ingrown hairs, and hormonal breakouts. With soothing clays and botanicals, it works to restore clarity and balance — without stripping your skin.

How To Use Our Balancing Mask
Measure: Add 1 tsp powder to a non-metal bowl.
Activate: Mix in liquid of choice (rose water/aloe for soothing; yogurt/honey for extra nourishment; a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar for oily/congested days) until it’s a cake-batter consistency.
Apply: Using a brush or clean fingers, spread a thin, even layer over clean skin. Avoid eye area.
Treat: Leave on 10–20 minutes (do not let it crack bone-dry—mist if needed). You’ll feel a cooling/tingling sensation.
Remove: Wet hands and gently massage to re-hydrate; rinse thoroughly.
Finish: Pat dry and follow with Umber Facial Moisturizer. Use 1–2× per week.
Notes: Do not use metal to mix. Patch test if sensitive. Adjust ACV ratio for delicate skin.
How It Works
This powder-to-paste mask uses oil-absorbing clays and targeted botanicals to rebalance skin that flares with hormonal shifts. Bentonite lifts excess sebum and impurities while gentle enzymes and plant actives calm visible redness, refine texture, and support a clearer, more even look—without over-drying.
Rebalances oil and helps keep pores clear
Calms the appearance of inflammation and irritation
Gently resurfaces for smoother, brighter skin
Supports blemish-prone, ingrown-prone, and combination skin
Customizable: activate with rose water, aloe, yogurt, honey, or ACV depending on skin’s needs.
Key Ingredients
Bentonite Clay – Mineral-rich clay that draws out excess oil and buildup for a deep, pore-clearing cleanse.
Salvia sclarea – Known to help regulate the look of oiliness and balance the complexion.
Thanaka – Traditional botanical used to calm, cool, and reduce the look of redness.
Curcuma longa – Antioxidant powerhouse that supports a more even tone.
Boswellia – Helps improve the look of texture and post-blemish marks.
Unlike standard clay masks that only dry out oil, our Balancing Face Mask is formulated to work with hormonally reactive skin. It doesn’t just absorb excess sebum — it calms inflammation, restores balance, and helps prevent the dark marks and scarring that often come with acne and ingrown hairs.
Hormone-aware formula – Crafted for skin that cycles through oiliness, congestion, and sensitivity (PCOS, shaving/ingrowns, stress).
Powder, on purpose – No fillers or preservatives. You activate fresh each time for max potency and to tailor hydration/acidity.
Multi-tasking – Use as a mask, a quick spot treatment, or add extra water to turn removal into a gentle scrub-cleanse.
Aromatherapy Benefits – Essential oils like clary sage and lavender not only calm skin but also promote relaxation, helping to balance cortisol levels that can trigger flare-ups.
Founder-led, results-driven – Built from real-life needs, then refined for a calm, balanced, confident complexion.
Daily Routine
Gently cleanse your face morning and night with the African Black Soap Face Wash. Pro tip: Pair it with our Large Face Scrubber for a deeper clean.
Remove hair from the root using plucking, waxing, threading, sugar waxing, or epilating for best results. Apply a small amount of Hair Reducing Fade Oil twice daily—even on days you don’t remove hair. Note: Shaving, electric razors, and hair removal creams will not deliver significant results.
Follow with our Facial Moisturizer to lock in hydration. Always apply after the Fade Oil, never before. Apply any other product after Hair ReducingFade Oil
Use the Facial Sugar Scrub before or after washing your face.Continue with daily routine.Tip: exfoliate no more then 2-3x a week.
Apply the Shea Shave Stick Butter to damp skin, massage in, and shave in the direction of hair growth. Continue with your daily routine. Tip: Use a single-blade razor to reduce and prevent ingrown hairs. Look up “shave mapping” to master your technique

I have very fine and some areas of corse facial hair on my neck, chin, and side of cheeks … I usually always pluck my hairs, which leave scars but since using the black liquid soap and sugar scrub, I already see a difference..Thank you Umber J, you are the BOMB!!
Store owner replied:

I mixed mine with honey and applied. It was my first time using a turmeric mask and I did notice a nice glow to my face afterwards
I wanted to be so excited for milt items I had purchased, but sadly they were not a fit for me. I had to stop using because of the extreme breakouts I had. I do understand everyone’s skin type is different and maybe that was my case. However they did smell good. Just wasn’t the right products for me.
I bought this lighten the dark spots on my cheek but I haven’t noticed a difference yet. However it’s good as a regular face mask. I’ll continue to use though and hope the spots will start to fade before before I’m out of the scrub.
It's going on almost a year that I've been using this product and my skin feels and looks great! I have less breakouts and my blemishes are disappearing. Its truly amazing. Nothing else I've used has compared to this face mask. I am a forever customer!
I received this mask as a gift from my sister and after the first use,I love it. It exfoliates my skin as I wash off the mask and leaves my skin feeling so smooth. I am excited to see more results as I continue using this product.

I have hirsutism so my hormones are out of balance making me grow lots of facial hair. I got this face mask to help and I have seen results. It has a nice smell to it and my skin felt smoother after the first time I used it. I'm very satisifed!
Our products are made for those dealing with excessive hair from PCOS, Hirsutism, hormonal imbalances, or genetics. We provide a natural, effective solution to reduce unwanted hair and restore confidence.
Consistent use of Umber products has been shown to thin out hair, delay growth, or potentially stop hair growth completely (not promised). In addition, Umber products improve the appearance and health of the skin that has been damaged from ingrown hairs, hormonal acne, or scarring.
