A clay mask is one of the most direct skincare interventions you can make at home. Kaolin draws excess sebum and surface impurities into the clay matrix as it sits on the skin, and the physical removal when you rinse it off takes that debris with it. Unlike more aggressive clays, Kaolin is gentle enough for regular use without the tight, stripped feeling that harsher clay masks can cause.
HERO INGREDIENT — Kaolin Clay Kaolin is the mildest cosmetic clay — a soft, white mineral formed from the weathering of feldspar. It has moderate absorbency compared to bentonite or French green clay, which makes it appropriate for more frequent use and for normal-to-dry skin that would find stronger clays dehydrating. It improves circulation in the skin surface as it dries, and the rinsing process provides gentle mechanical exfoliation.
WHAT ELSE IS IN THIS RECIPE
Vegetable Glycerin — prevents the mask from drying too quickly and too hard on the skin, maintaining a comfortable texture throughout the treatment
Essential Oil — optional — Tea Tree suits oily and acne-prone skin; Rose Geranium suits normal and dry skin types
