Many professional cosmetic masks have in their composition healing clay. Its porous structure acts like a sponge, effectively absorbing toxins and pulling out blackheads and inflammation. Mud masks based on clay are suitable for all skin types, forming a hard layer on the surface of the skin.

Clay is often used for applications, compresses, wraps or baths. Blue clay is particularly good for the face, and it can not only be bought at the pharmacy, but can also be found naturally on the shores of seas, rivers and even in ravines.

If you decide to use the clay you find for a mask, you need to prepare it properly. For external procedures, clay should be pre-dried in the sun or heating radiator. After that, it should be crushed, cleaned of foreign particles, turned into a powder and sifted.

The resulting powder is diluted with water, completely absorbing the clay. The mixture is stirred to a homogeneous mass and used for a month, adding water if necessary to maintain the desired consistency.

It is important to rinse the clay off thoroughly after use. Warm water helps soften the hardened layer, and then you can remove the clay with light circular motions.

After cleansing, the skin can become tight and dry, but you should not get carried away with greasy moisturizers, as this can harm the skin. After clay masks, you need to provide your skin with nutrients.

If you use a toner, it is better to apply it first and then apply the cream, following the correct application lines.
