Which clay to choose? There are different clays ideal for different needs and skin types. They are purifying and healing, and they are especially rich in minerals. Let's take a closer look at some of these clays. Green clay This is the best known and most used. It is intended for combination to oily skin, which it will purify and detoxify. Applied as a mask, green clay will absorb excess sebum and help regulate the skin. For normal skin that needs to be purified and toned, we recommend Montmorillonite green clay. Red clay Red clay is soothing and detoxifying. It is ideal for tired, reactive, and couperose skin. If you have skin prone to redness, this is the one for you. Red clay is very rich in trace elements and oxidized ferric acids (hence its red color). It will promote blood circulation and restore radiance to the skin. Red clay is also a cleansing treatment and will act on skin that needs to be mattified. White clay It is also called kaolinite or kaolin clay. It is the ideal clay for dry and mature skin. It is less rich in minerals and therefore less absorbent than green clay. White clay is rich in silica, an element naturally present in the body but which decreases with age and is notably responsible for the appearance of wrinkles. Applied as a mask on the face, it will moisturize the skin (it is the only one to have this astringent power), soften it and purify it. Rhassoul from Morocco It's also called "the earth that washes." In Morocco, Moroccan Rhassoul is used as a purifying shampoo or soap. It cleanses without damaging the skin and absorbs impurities and oil. Rhassoul detoxifies, purifies, and clarifies the skin. The skin is left feeling soft. Its rich mineral content makes it a treatment that will find its place in your various routines. If you need to purify your skin or hair effectively and gently, opt for Rhassoul. How to use these different clays? The easiest way to use clays is to add a little water to make a paste that can be applied to the skin as a mask. You can add floral waters or essential oils to make them even more effective.
