This beautiful clay mask is used as a facial mask to nourish the skin, even out blotchy skin tone, and reduce acne – specifically stubborn blackheads. There are many clinical studies that have found this type of clay to be effective for increasing skin elasticity due to its high silica and magnesium content. It is so good for your skin, you can even swap out your soap with it as it won’t strip the skin of its natural oils.
Red Clay Mask Benefits:
Blackheads form when a clog or plug develops in the opening of hair follicles in your skin. Each follicle contains one hair and a sebaceous gland that produces oil. This oil, called sebum, helps keep your skin soft. Dead skin cells and oils collect in the opening to the skin follicle, producing a bump. When skin over the bump opens, exposure to the air causes it to look black and a blackhead forms. Using a red clay face mask effectively dries out all blackheads and pulls them to the surface, thus removing them gently. 🌿🌿💚
