Finally switched to a serum-based facial after a disaster with a clay mask in Sacramento

I was doing a deep pore cleansing facial on a client last Wednesday and the clay mask dried way too fast on her combo skin. It started cracking and pulling and she said it felt tight and uncomfortable. I felt so bad. I had to soak it off with warm cloths and switch to a hydrating serum mask halfway through. She was nice about it but I could tell she was annoyed. Now I'm testing serums on myself before using them on clients. Has anyone else had a clay mask go wrong on a specific skin type?

Clay mask on combo skin? Couple more minutes and you'd have had a renaissance painting.

Wait, are you saying you actually left it on that long?
