Epoch Glacial Marine Mud – mineral cleansing for the skin
Epoch Glacial Marine Mud is one of Nu Skin’s best-known facial masks. Its formula is based on fine marine clay sourced from a glacial estuary on the north-west coast of the Pacific Ocean.
The minerals and trace elements naturally present in the mud help care for the skin, while its fine texture allows the mask to be spread evenly across the face and selected areas of the body.
The formula works in several ways. It helps remove accumulated impurities, excess sebum and dead skin cells while smoothing and softening the skin. After rinsing, the complexion looks cleaner, fresher and better prepared for the next stages of a skincare routine.
How does Epoch Glacial Marine Mud work?
Helps deeply cleanse the skin
The mask helps remove impurities, cosmetic residue and excess sebum from the skin’s surface. It can be used as an addition to daily cleansing, especially when the skin looks tired, congested or dull.
Gently removes dead skin cells
The fine particles of marine clay help lift away dead skin cells without the need for an intensive mechanical scrub. Regular use helps improve the smoothness and softness of the skin.
Contains minerals and trace elements
Marine clay naturally contains minerals and trace elements, including:
- zinc;
- copper;
- magnesium;
- silver.
These elements form part of the natural mineral complex characteristic of mud sourced from a glacial estuary.
Leaves the skin soft and smooth
After rinsing, the skin feels pleasantly soft, refreshed and smoother to the touch. Glycerin and propanediol help reduce the uncomfortable feeling of dryness that can sometimes occur after using traditional clay masks.

How to use Epoch Glacial Marine Mud
Application on the face
Apply a generous, even layer to cleansed skin. Avoid the eye and lip areas.
Leave the mask on for approximately 15–20 minutes, or until it has dried and changed to a light aquamarine colour. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
The mask can be used two to three times a week, depending on the skin type and its current needs.
Application on the body
Epoch Glacial Marine Mud can also be applied to selected areas of the body, such as the back, shoulders, décolletage, elbows, knees or other areas requiring deeper cleansing and smoothing.
Once the mask has dried, rinse the skin thoroughly with warm water.
Skincare after using the mask
After rinsing off the mask, apply a toner, serum and moisturiser suited to your skin’s needs. The cleansed surface of the skin will then be better prepared for the next steps in your skincare routine.
Is Epoch Glacial Marine Mud suitable for oily skin?
Yes. The mask may be particularly suitable for oily and combination skin because it helps remove excess sebum and impurities accumulated on the skin’s surface.
However, this does not mean it should be used every day. For most people, applying it two to three times a week will be sufficient.
Can the mask be applied only to the T-zone?
Yes. For combination skin, the product can be applied locally to the forehead, nose and chin, where excess sebum most commonly appears.
A moisturising mask can be applied to the drier parts of the face at the same time. This method is known as multimasking.
Does Epoch Glacial Marine Mud dry out the skin?
The mask cleanses the skin and absorbs impurities, so applying a moisturising product afterwards is recommended.
Its formula also contains glycerin and propanediol, which help maintain a comfortable skin feel. People with dry or sensitive skin can begin with one application per week and a slightly shorter application time.
Why does the mask change colour as it dries?
The product has a darker shade when first applied. As it dries, it gradually becomes lighter and develops an aquamarine colour.
This colour change is a natural characteristic of the mask and also provides a practical indication that it is ready to be rinsed off.
