The Best Clarifying Clay Masks Suitable For Oily Skin

In case the heat and humidity wasn’t helping your case and your skin needed the extra help

August 14, 2020
Clay mask for oily skin

Here’s one thing you’ve probably been doing wrong all this time. You should never let a clay mask dry fully, that just means it’s sucking out all the moisture from your skin. Despite how tempting it may be to leave it on while you’re going about your everyday tasks, wash it off when it starts getting lighter in colour and still a bit sticky.

Why use clay masks?

Clay masks have been used as a skin decongestant and antibiotic for centuries due to their porous and highly absorbent nature, and are a must-have for oily or acne-prone skin.

Clay has the ability to draw out toxins from within the body and from the surface of the skin. Various therapeutic clays, especially bentonite clay can effectively bind to heavy metals like mercury, lead and other environmental pollutants and eliminate them from the body’s tissues.

Other than drawing out toxins, clay is a natural substance that is rich in beautifying minerals including calcium, silica, iron, and potassium, which can strengthen skin and even balance sebum-moisture levels. 

Bentonite clay possesses the strongest ability to detoxify the skin, absorb and draw out impurities from the skin. It also keeps bacteria at bay and promotes blood circulation to the surface of the skin.

On the other hand, kaolin clay is the gentlest, making it great for those with sensitive or irritation-prone skin. Moreover, clay masks have evolved greatly over the years and are no longer as drying, harsh, or pungent as they used to be. Natural essential oils, glycerin, antioxidants, and shea butter are often added to nourish, soothe and hydrate skin. So there’s really no reason not to get masking and give your skin an intense, deep cleanse!
