The Basic Clay Facial kit contains everything you need to make gentle, exfoliating facial masks for normal, oily and sensitive skin types.
Natural clays from the earth absorb toxins, dirt and excess oil from the skin. Herbal powders, milk and colloidal oatmeal help remove dry skin and nourish the skin.
Aritha powder is an ayurvedic herb that contains natural saponins. Saponins act like a mild soap that gently cleanses the skin. Neem is another ayurvedic herb that has been used in traditional Indian skin care, for its strong antibacterial properties.
By combining different clays with different additives and wetting agents, you can change the properties of your face mask. Factors to keep in mind when selecting your ingredients include: skin type and the need for exfoliation, moisturization, cooling and antibacterial action.
Choose your wetting agents according to your specific needs. Use milk or strawberry puree for exfoliation, cucumber juice or yogurt for their cooling properties, witch hazel or rose hydrosol to tone, and dead sea water or lavender hydrosol to soothe your skin.
