Benefits Of Clay In Beauty Products

Get cleaner skin by getting dirty!

Although it may seem counterintuitive to rub mud all over your face to get cleaner skin, it’s a trick people have been using since ancient times! Back in the day, people used to travel to the Dead Sea for its famous clay.

Luckily these days you don’t need to go quite as far to get your fix.

Today, we’re explaining the benefits of clay in beauty products, and where to find the best ones.

Why Clay?

Clay is a star beauty ingredient because it is able to absorb impurities and sebum. These contribute to congestion in the pores, which lead to blackheads, breakouts and more. Cosmetic clays are rich in minerals, and they work well with acne-prone, dull and congested skin types.

Clay helps to gently exfoliate, clean and invigorate the skin while also improving blood circulation. It can also enhance the lathering capabilities of facial cleansers, making it a good ingredient to wash your face with.

Which types of clay are best in beauty products?

Clearly, slapping any old mud on your face won’t work. But which clays are the best ones to look out for? Try:

Volcanic Clay – made from the hardened lava that formed after a volcanic explosion, this is a natural and rare ingredient. It has the ability to absorb and remove sebum and wash away impurities from the skin, while also purifying and moisturising it. After using volcanic clay, your skin will be cleaner, without the feeling of being tight or dry.

Kaolin Clay – a fine and light clay, kaolin has natural absorbency properties. When applied to the skin, it soaks up excess oils and stale sebum.

Rhassoul clay – rich in magnesium, silica, potassium, and calcium, the molecular structure of Rhassoul clay gives it the ability to absorb excess dirt and oil, as well as extract impurities from the skin.

Taean mud – containing natural minerals, this mud is well known for moisturising the skin, removing impurities and micro dust.
