For NORMAL/OILY SKIN - ASTRINGENT & EXFOLIATING.

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.

YELLOW CLAY

French Yellow Clay is considered to be a powerful cleanser which draws out impurities from the skin while the essential minerals within the clay are released. It sloughs off dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, and tightens & tones the skin, leaving it feeling smooth, fresh, and radiant.
As with other types of clay, yellow clay also offers a host of benefits, especially when it comes to extracting toxins from the skin that cause a great deal of underlying damage. 

• Repairing – a yellow clay facial mask attracts the toxins in the skin, pulls them out, and helps in repairing cells as well. Any inflammation caused due to excessive toxicity can be soothed if this mask is applied regularly.
• Decongesting – congested or clogged skin is skin with large pores and blackheads which appears thick and dull in appearance. The gently abrasive nature of the yellow clay sloughs off dead skin cells, dirt, and other impurities, thus exfoliating thoroughly but without making the skin too dry. The pores get to breathe, while your skin feels clean and fresh.
• Calming – yellow clay can be safely used on mild eczema patches, and is gentle enough for those with rosacea and psoriasis. Hydrated clay binds with toxins to draw them out, and also works the same way with bacteria and pathogens. Once the mask is applied, it will bind to the bacteria on the surface and deep in the pores. This dried up bacteria is then brought to the surface so it can be washed away when you remove the mask. Those with sensitive skin and serious skin conditions, often experience severe itching or irritation due to rashes and allergic reactions. The yellow clay mask imparts a lovely healing effect that calms irritated skin.
• Rejuvenating –  yellow clay masks drastically enhance blood flow to skin; poor circulation affects appearance, and causes the skin to become uneven and blotchy.  Increasing facial blood circulation can improve the complexion and provide a more youthful look.
