Why clay face masks are good for your skin
Clay face masks have lots of great benefits for your skin including:
- Drawing out impurities from your pores without clogging them
- Clarifies and evens skin tone
- Balances out oils on the surface of the skin
- Softens skin naturally
If you'd like to get even more skincare benefits from your mask why not customise it according to your skin's needs.
So what can you add to a clay mask...?
Well, arguably just about anything! But to guide you we've created some clay mask recipes for you to follow at home.
We do recommend using a clay mask that's been formulated by a skincare expert as clay can be problematic for some skin types so it's important to get your mix just right.
