Clay masques for deeper cleansing – A clay masque will remove old sebum that is clogged in pores and remove environmental poisons and dirt left on the skin. They will be sold dry – so you only mix up what you need at the time, a more economical way to buy, as it will last longer. We use Kaolin Clay (China Clay), which originally came from the Kaolin Hills in Kiangsi Province in China. White clay has electromagnetic qualities and attracts oils and dirt particles left on the skin. This clay is composed of silica, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, zinc, and other minerals.
The clay is good used just as it is – or you can add some of your own ingredients if you wish – for example
1)Runny honey with or without a mashed banana
2)Use lemon juice instead of water
3)A little plain natural yogurt
4)Bicarbonate of soda
5)Essential oils for a more therapeutic effect for acne or spots or oily skin – for instant 1 drop of grapefruit for acne or spotty oily skin. Lavender 1 drop for a more calming masque.
6)Mashed up ripe papaya – the enzyme it contains (papain) will dissolve the dead surface layer of the skin very gently.
7) A little fresh pineapple – the enzymes will dissolve the dead surface layer of the skin a bit more than papaya.
