When I contacted the founder of Stark Skincare to request samples, she seemed just as eager for me to try her products as I was to try them. Jessica's enthusiasm, combined with her confidence in her products' ability to improve "slightly oily skin, with an occasional blemish" were all the assurance I needed! The first of the four samples I tried was the Green Tea Detox Clay Mask, and that's the gem I'll be reviewing today.
