When it comes to natural skincare, have you thought about the use of clay face masks?
There are tons of incredible benefits to using clay face masks for your skin, no matter your skin type. From drawing out those horrid impurities, to reducing excess oils, there are many ways in which our clay face masks could benefit you. Why not give them a go? You could always start with a miniature size first?
Clay mask benefits for the skin
So, where do we begin with these incredible clay face mask benefits?
1) One massive advantage is that using a clay face mask helps to draw out skin impurities. As you go through your day, everything from oil and dirt to dead skin can start to build up on the surface of your skin, potentially leading to those dreaded breakouts and blemishes. Our natural clay face masks exfoliate and reduce the appearance of pores, getting rid of these unwelcome impurities and leaving skin feeling clean and bright.
2) Clay face masks help to reduce the appearance of breakouts. By using a clay face mask just once a week, you can minimise the appearance of your pores. Our natural clay face masks are formulated for all skin types too, so you can use them with the most sensitive skin.
3) As clay masks get rid of dead skin too, your face will feel fresher, and you’ll have a smoother and tighter looking complexion. Ummmm yes please!
4) Clay face masks are particularly good for oily skin, as they reduce excess surface oil. Using a clay face mask as part of your routine for oily skin types, you can give your skin more of a matte appearance with less shine. Oily skin has a number of potential causes, including a loss of moisture, and a clay face mask will help you readdress the balance of your skin.
5) Finally, our natural clay face masks are water-less. What does this mean for you? Well, water-less skincare products contain 100% active ingredients which have not been diluted with water. Some of the best-selling body and skincare products on the market contain up to 90% water, which is usually listed on the ingredients as ‘aqua’. You may be paying for a bigger bottle simply because it’s got a hefty proportion of water, rather than active ingredients.
This means that some companies are using water to dilute the active ingredients, enabling them to promote their skincare products at a reduced price. We all love to save our pennies, but if you are purchasing a less effective product, or need to use more of it to get the desired result, then it's pointless, no?
Our best clay face mask for your skin
Our Purify Botanical Clay Face Mask is the perfect match for sensitive skin! We specifically formulated this clay mask with Kaolin clay as it is one of the gentlest clays out there. It provides a deep cleanse without stripping or irritation.
Not only that, this natural clay face mask contains rosehip, hibiscus and turmeric, three power house ingredients to soothe, brighten and tighten the skin.
If you're more of an oily skin girl ( we feel ya), we would have to point you in the direction of Detox, our Activated Charcoal Clay Face Mask. This natural clay mask has been lovingly formulated to target blemishes and get rid of those pesky blackheads. Activated Charcoal is the real superstar ingredient here and works to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells by binding to bacteria and toxins.
How do you apply a clay face mask
Typically a clay face mask just needs a small amount of water to activate. With our natural, water-less clay face masks, mix 1 tsp of the powder with 1/2 tsp of water to create a thick paste. Then apply the clay mask mixture to your face using a brush, avoiding the eye area. Rinse with warm water and a damp muslin cloth before the clay mask dries completely. Then finish off your skin with one of our natural facial oils to lock in that moisture!
