Pink clay for the face

A pleasant pale pink color is not the only advantage of this clay. It does not bubble, does not crack, does not dry out the skin and, in general, unlike the same blue one, it is suitable even for owners of sensitive and allergy-prone skin. Why is pink clay useful for the face and why should every girl have it at home (besides being beautiful and pink)?

Benefits of pink clay for skin

There is no pink clay in nature. To create a product with such a fabulous color and properties, I had to work a little – mix red and white clay in certain proportions.
The result exceeded all expectations. Pink Clay:

  • gently removes any impurities without damaging the skin at all;

  • possesses anti-inflammatory properties;

  • removes excess sebum, perfectly mattifies the skin;

  • gently exfoliates keratinized scales, stimulating cellular renewal, evening out tone and improving complexion;

  • tightens pores;

  • slightly whitens the skin, fights age spots;

  • unlike other types of clay, it does not draw moisture from the skin, does not leave behind a feeling of tightness, but, on the contrary, moisturizes the epidermis;

  • smoothes wrinkles, increases skin turgor;

  • suitable for everyone: even dehydrated, sensitive and prone to irritation and allergies skin will like pink clay masks.

Clay fabulous color and with wonderful properties.

It is curious that it is used even in medicine – in complex therapy against tonsillitis, rheumatism, varicose veins, for the treatment of colds and neurological diseases. But it received the main application, of course, in cosmetology.
Pink clay masks and cosmetics use:

  • to fight acne;

  • to combat pigmentation;

  • to improve skin elasticity;

  • as an anti-aging agent.

Противопоказания

The only contraindication may be individual intolerance.

How to use pink clay for face

In order for pink clay masks to really give an effect, it is important to follow the following rules:

  • Look into the bag or feel it: if the powder is inside, the clay is fresh, and if the lump is stuck together, it is better to refuse to buy.

  • Dilute the powder with warm boiled water to the consistency of thick sour cream. And only when the mass becomes homogeneous, add (if desired) oils, vitamins and plant extracts.

  • Dilute clay in glass or ceramic dishes, do not use metal – it steals useful substances.

  • Test the tool on your wrist. No redness or irritation? Then calmly use the mask on your face.

  • Don’t overdo the mask. It is optimal to apply it for 15 minutes, then it will begin to crack and crumble. If you want to enhance the effect, put a damp gauze over the mask and keep it for 20-25 minutes.

  • Do not apply the mask on the skin around the lips and eyes – clay still does not get rid of bags and circles under the eyes, but it can damage the delicate skin in these areas.

  • Use it regularly – for example, 1-2 times a week for 3 weeks.

  • Wash off with warm water or milk.

  • You can store diluted pink clay for as long as you like – however, the container must be airtight and, of course, perfectly clean.
