Bentonite Clay can be a great way to remove impurities from skin. This clay has been being used for many years in different ways. Some of the well known properties of this particular clay when using it on skin are: it can help with oily skin, it can help acne prone skin, it has been known to pull toxins to skins surface for removal of oils and acne, etc. Overall this clay is a clay that will deeply cleanse the skin.
Bentonite clay absorbs a relatively large amount of water. If mixing bentonite clay alone with just water, the user will find that it may start to clump and need to be mixed really well. It is a clay that can pull acne and oils to the skin's surface, but it is always a good choice to use it sparingly. If the skin is very sensitive using this type of clay may be best when used once a week. Bentonite clay is best when mixed in a wooden, glass or ceramic dish, using a wooden mixer. Remember to always do a small skin patch test when using new products. If you use any other types of products that are prescribed for your skin, consulting your doctor is recommended.
It is very important that users of bentonite clay is aware that when washing this clay off of skin, it is a must that a drain screen is used. Actually when using any type of clay this is a good rule of thumb to abide. If clays are not a weekly part of your skin ritual a screen is not necessarily needed, but is wise to still use.
