What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Usage

Morning and night, massage one to two pumps onto damp skin.

Add water to lather and break down daily grime.

Rinse, pat dry, and follow with serum and moisturizer.

Pro-tip

Pro Tip: For those with oilier skin or who like to wear waterproof makeup, start your cleansing ritual with an oil cleanser like Algae Enzyme Cleansing Oil (sold separately) and follow with Aura Cleanse for the perfect double cleansing routine.

THE best cleanser

"I have finally found it! I have tried sooo many cleanser and it just doesn’t get my tinted serum off at the end of the day. This one does!! It love how you put on and it creates a nice layer and you can see where you’ve applied it. Then once you get it wet it foams up and really cleans and rinses away nicely without drying your skin."

Carolyn H. (5/5)

All clean, no squeak! :)

"I'm a big fan of MARA and was excited to see a gel cleanser launch as a companion to their cult favorite oil cleanser. This is the perfect second cleanse after an oil cleanse, and leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated, without any dryness or that awkward 'squeaky clean' feeling left by other gel cleansers. Gorgeous packaging as well - no surprise, because MARA always checks all the boxes. :)"

Timothy S. (5/5)

Great addition to the line!

"I’m loving the cleanser. Received as a free gift with purchase & loved so much I bought the full size bottle. It’s a great addition to line up & feels very clean & refreshing. I’m a huge fan of cleaning oil, but I’ve this on other days. Doesn’t try out my skin which is a plus."

Shannon O. (5/5)

Artificial scent is way too strong!

"This cleanser is fine and I might really like it if it didn't smell like perfume. Cleanses well, but the scent is so strong that I just don't want to use it. Really disappointing."

Elizabeth B. (2/5)

My new favorite!

"Lovely, just lovely! A really gentle spa like cleanser. Seems so simple yet hard to find. No crazy scent, just pleasant. Skin feels soft, hydrated. Clean!"

Michelle (5/5)

Mara Aura Foaming Gel

"I just love this product! It deep cleans and is so gentle on my skin with no breakouts. The fragrance is amazing . I am hooked"

Mindy G. (5/5)

Fresh and Clean!

"Really like this cleanser. I've tried many over the years. After cleansing my skin feels hydrated and comfortable. It smells good but not overpowering. No skin reactions to any ingredients. Will buy again."

Jill H. (5/5)

so hydrating!

"As someone with clinically dry skin, I typically stray away from foaming cleansers. I finally feel able to double cleanse confidently without my skin feeling stripped or dry. love it with the algae cleansing oil from mara!"

Esther D. (5/5)

So fresh

"Love this cleanser! It leaves my face feeling clean and fresh without drying out my sensitive skin"

Sofia R. (5/5)

Gel to Foam Goodness

"Love the gel to foam consistency of this cleanser. Gives a great deep clean without making my skin feel dry or tight."
