Cosmetic clay powder – it’s an enriched with minerals natural cosmetic of blissful action delivered to our skin. Because of the great amount of clays available, we can state clearly that Mother Nature is generous since it equipped us a wide range of this organic cosmetic.

The point often overlooked is that clay has been used since time immemorial. Taking advantage of this cosmetic isn’t as new as we consider it to be especially by looking at the offers of SPA salons and other beauty parlours. As it’s typical for natural body care treatments, application of clay powder was inspired by the practices of people living in ancient times just as, for example, we adopted from them oil hair treatment or pampering body skin with honey and milk.

And that would be all when it comes to the introduction 😉

Cosmetic clay powder. Why have I fallen in love with it?

Obviously, because of the action it delivers. Natural clays have the ability to absorb impurities such as sebum, toxins and even dead epidermis cells. How is it possible? It’s pure physics. Cosmetic clay is charged negatively therefore it attracts substances that are charged positively.

Furthermore, cosmetic clay is a diversity of essential for our skin macro and micro elements of easy to absorb form. Usually, a cosmetic clay contains calcium, silica, magnesium, potassium, iron, phosphor, zinc, copper and selenium.

Each cosmetic clay’s action is wonderful and it can be described as purifying, antiseptic, firming, smoothing, mineralizing and exfoliating.

Types of cosmetic clays. Which one to choose?

There are a few types of cosmetic clays distinguished which, at the first sight, differs in colour only. Each shade represents other features and the application of a particular clay. I’m going to do my best to explain to you the features of certain cosmetic clays that I had the opportunity to use. I hope you’ll find these brief descriptions useful and helpful while choosing the version for yourself.

• Green cosmetic clay – the strongest clay from all the cosmetic clays; it has disinfecting features, nourishes, cleanses skin, encourages regeneration and accelerates wound self-healing processes; in my opinion this is the perfect clay for oily, combination and acne.
• Red cosmetic clay – has similar action to green clay yet it’s more gentle in performance; it serves well t oily and combination skin as well as super sensitive or capillary skin type since it has additional features that contract blood vessels.
• Yellow cosmetic clay – the best version for oily, combination and mature skin; it successfully cleanses skin from toxins, freshens up, strengthens and counteracts dehydration because it regulates the action of sebaceous glands as it makes skin matte.
• White cosmetic clay – it works like a delicate dead epidermis cell exfoliating product as well as it regenerates, delivers relief and accelerates wound and scar healing processes; it’s a very good clay for dry, delicate, matte, dull and sensitive skin.
• Blue cosmetic clay – it’s characterized by very intensive action therefore it’s recommended for mature skin care; this type of clay is the most precise one at penetrating dermis to nourish, regenerate and provide firmness; it even makes wrinkles less visible.
• Pink cosmetic clay – the truth is that this type of clay is a mixture of white clay and red clay (33%); it serves well dry, sensitive, capillary or irritation-prone skin types; it has easing, contracting and reinforcing action.
