Description

Red clay contains a higher amount of iron oxide and other minerals than any other type of clay, which promotes the healing of skin. It removes dead skin cells, blackheads and excess oil while gently cleansing the skin. It is ideal for oily skin.

Here is the red clay face mask recipe:

• Mix equal parts of clay (usually 2 soup spoons) and water (rose water is a great alternative) till it forms a paste.
• Add a few drops of essential oil like lavender, rosemary, chamomile or lemongrass.
• Apply to a clean face (this is necessary as unclean skin won’t allow the mask to work its magic).Let it dry for 30-40 minutes.
• Rinse off with warm water.
• Apply a high-quality, organic moisturiser afterwards to protect the skin and balance sebum production.

It is recommended to use the clay mask once or twice per week for best results. Please don’t be under the misconception that you have to use the mask everyday or up to 4 times a week to achieve the intended effect. Those with dry skin can go up to 3 times a week, but not more! Overdoing this routine might do more harm than good, so stick to a schedule and watch how your skin becomes healthier with each use.
