White Kaolin Clay

White Kaolin Clay is the softest of all clays, and least drying to the skin. So it’s a great ingredient to use if you have:

• Normal to Dry skin
• Sensitive skin
• Irritated skin

Rich in beneficial minerals, the clay works by adsorbing impurities, chemicals and toxins from the skin cells, by causing dead cells to slough off, and by stimulating the flow of blood to the epidermis.

White Kaolin Clay can be combined with a vegetable oil or/and a hydrosol to detox your skin:

• If you have dry skin, mix half a teaspoon of Jojoba oil with 2 teaspoons of Kaolin White clay, add water or rose hydrosol until obtaining a spreadable paste.
• If you have normal or sensitive skin, use Morrocan clay instead. Mix half a teaspoon of Jojoba oil with 2 teaspoons of Moroccan clay, add water or a hydrosol until obtaining a spreadable paste.
• If you have oily skin, use French Green clay instead. Mix half a teaspoon of Jojoba oil with 2 teaspoons of French Green clay, add water or lavender hydrosol until obtaining a spreadable paste.

Apply the mask once a week, avoiding eyes and lips areas.

Leave for 10 minutes and wash.

Apply a moisturising serum after.
