How SkinMud Reviews Products

Miguel Castillo, Founder & Editor
Here's how I approach every mud and clay mask comparison on SkinMud — why you can trust the process, not just the price tag.

What this site does

SkinMud is a research-backed editorial guide to mud and clay masks. After 28 years on beauty retail floors and running production lines, I read every label, pore over ingredient decks, and weigh owner-reported outcomes across every price tier — from drugstore staples to luxury spa collections. My goal is to close the gap between what a brand says and what the math actually shows, so you can shop smarter at any budget.

How we evaluate

  • Mineral sourcing and clay purity per the label and independent analysis.
  • Active ingredient load — concentration, synergy, and form.
  • Format convenience and how it affects real-world usage.
  • Value ratio: what you pay vs. what you get per use.
  • Consistent owner-reported results across duplicate reviews.

Affiliate disclosure

Some of the links on SkinMud are affiliate links — if you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That doesn't sway my picks; the math and the reviews call the shots.
