Clay Facial masks for smooth skin
Looking for a way to tone and smooth your skin? Is your complexion very oily? Do you live in a large city? If you
answered yes to any of these questions then you're a candidate for clay mask therapy! Clay masks withdraw
excess oil and pollutants from our faces. Even if it's very cold where you live and your skin is chapped and dry, a
soothing clay mask will be beneficial, especially if you mix the clay with a moisturizing vegetable oil base. Making
clay masks is easy. >Finding the clay is another matterMany health food/whole food stores do stock various types
of clay. First, you'll need to know about what the different types of clay contain and the sort you need for your skin
type.
Kaolin, white: Also known as china clay as it was discovered on Mount Kaolin and later brought to Europe in the
18th century. Most kaolin is mined in North and South Carolina, Georgia, England and Australia. Finely grained
kaolin is also used in top quality porcelain, bone china and as a bonding agent in making paper. Premium white
china clay is low in contaminants and iron. This clay is able to balance the skin's sebum activity. For those
unfamiliar with clay masks, this is the one that's recommended the most. White kaolin is also suitable for children
and adults with sensitive skin. Kaolin, pink: Pink kaolin combines red and white clay and is versatile enough for
those with combination, normal or oily complexions. French clay, green: Heavy with volcanic matter, decomposed
plant substances and minerals. Very cleansing. Only recommended for oily skins or a normal/oily skin
combination. Moroccan clay, red: Contains iron and is used by those who have an oily complexion. Men with
tough skin might want to give this a try. Bentonite: This clay is found primarily in the Western United States.
However, there is an Indian bentonite that is darker in color due to its high iron content. Found in the semi-arid
Kutch region of India, it is formed mainly of volcanic ash. Bentonite is a main ingredient in cat litter -- a great
example of the substance's ability to absorb impurities/waste matter! High-grade bentonite is safe for use on all
skin types. Fuller's earth: This is a very fine grayish colored powder derived from algae that is chock full of
minerals and is super absorbing. Normal and oily skin types benefit from this earthy substance. Skin Types: To
combine the clay you'll need various types of liquids, depending upon your skin type. Here's a general guide:
Dry/Sensitive - Heavy cream, honey or vegetable oils such as sesame, grapeseed, sweet almond, jojoba or olive
Normal - A light vegetable oil such as grapeseed or sweet almond. Whole milk is recommended, as are flower
waters such as rose or orange. Only use one liquid at a time! Oily - Distilled or spring water, witch hazel, flower
waters. Before you make your clay mask, clean your face thoroughly as this will allow the clay to really do its job
much more effectively. Some experts recommend steaming/massaging your face before applying the clay mask.
