For centuries, clay has been used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes in many cultures. Nowadays, clay face masks are used as one of the most effective natural treatments for skin problems. Clay can help remove impurities, release toxins and irritant substances that can cause problems for your skin.

BENTONITE CLAY

Bentonite clay is used to treat acne, wounds, ulcers, skin allergies. Bentonite clay, also known as montmorillonite clay or calcium, bentonite clay is an ancient home remedy that is used for a variety of skin issues. It is a fine powder composited from lush volcanic ash and is loaded with tons of minerals including calcium, sodium, copper, magnesium, potassium, and iron.

• Detoxifying – bentonite clay is also highly absorptive; it literally absorbs positively charged minerals drawing good things in, and bad things out. All it needs is a little water, the clay bonds and absorbs the chemicals and impurities right out of your skin! Once the clay has pulled all the nasties out of your cells, there's room for fresh oxygen to move in and make your pores nice and healthy.
• Healing – thanks to the plethora of vitamins and minerals found in Bentonite, it is commonly used topically to aid in relief for several issues including minor skin irritation, insect bites or stings, blemishes, dryness, redness etc
• Exfoliating & clarifying – acne, blackheads, and whiteheads are often the result of your skin producing too much oil within your pores. The clay is able to bind to bacteria and toxins that live within your pores and unclog any impurities that may be causing your breakouts and blemishes.
• Rejuvenating – uneven skin tone develops over time from elements like sun exposure, skin breakouts, and aging - amongst dozens of other things. Not to mention, dead skin cells on the surface of your skin don't leave much room for newer, younger cells to grow. To get this bentonite clay benefit, simply add the clay to your daily cleansing rituals to remove dead skin cells and even out your tone and texture, giving your complexion the appearance of balance. Rebalance and rejuvenate the right way!
