What are the skin benefits of clay?
Clay is a detoxifying, rejuvenating and strengthening agent. It extracts toxins and impurities from the skin while delivering much needed minerals to maintain a smooth and fresh-looking skin.
There are different types of clay and each varies in composition depending on the origin they're from. Clays come in a wide variety of hues. They're naturally colored and don't contain any dyes or pigments.
Which clay is right for you?
Depending on your skin type, one clay may be better suited for your skin type than another. Kaolin clays have mild absorption properties making them a better choice for dry to normal skin, while Bentonite clay has stronger absorption properties making them good for very oily skin.
