MEDICINAL CLAYS
Sourced from deep within the earth, away from environmental toxins, each clay contains different minerals based on its location. In its natural state, clay is negatively charged, while most toxins and bacteria are positively charged. When activated with liquid and applied to skin, it binds with positively charged molecules of yuck and removes them when rinsed off.
With so many different kinds of clay and the hype surrounding "magical healing clay" it is hard to know which is best for your skin. We believe there is no single best clay for everyone; rather, a mixture of clays, each with different benefits, is best. We sourced rare clays from around the world and combined them with organic ingredients to create a mask for every kind of skin and a spot treatment for acute flare-ups. Each single-use pack is designed for you based on your skin type. You decide what liquid to mix with your mask based on the chart below. *We use 100% compostable packaging for our masks.*
LIQUIDS:
Water: Filtered water works with all masks and all skin types.
Milk: Milk is not recommended for oily or acne-prone skin. The lactic acid in milk is a mild non-abrasive exfoliant great for dry, irritated and sensitive skin. Vegan milks can be substituted but do not have as much fat or lactic acid.
Yogurt: Yogurt also contains lactic acid to gently dissolve dead skin cells and softens skin and hair.
Honey: Honey is naturally antibacterial and antifungal, so it's great at fighting acne-causing bacteria. It's also rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals and is a wonderfully effective humectant.
ACV: Apple Cider Vinegar is not recommended for very irritated skin. It has amazing antibacterial benefits, is a non-abrasive exfoliant and astringent, restores pH, and soothes dry skin and scalp. Important: dilute with water in a 1:2 solution (1 part ACV to 2 parts water).
TIPS: (for leftover mask)
Clay masks are great for your scalp and hair too! We suggest hopping in the shower to rinse off your face mask so you can dampen your hair and easily apply clay to your scalp. With small amounts at a time, spread it across your scalp, massaging each area; allow to remain for about 10 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Shampoo and condition as usual. *If you use permanent haircoloring we suggest checking with your colorist before using a mask on your hair, as it can dull or remove some permanent dyes.
Use leftover clay mask or your spot treatment for other trouble areas on your body, i.e. chest or back.
Try detoxing your armpits. Each day most of us paint our pits with aluminum-filled antiperspirants and deodorants. Use your leftover clay to paint your pits; allow to dry completely before rinsing with warm water.
Use leftover clay on your feet. Feet get sweaty and stinky sometimes from sneakers, loafers, boots, etc., but how often do we wash the soles of our feet? Spread the mud across the soles of your feet and allow to dry. Rinse. Your feet will thank you.
If this is your first deep cleansing treatment or mask, or if it has been more than four weeks since your last, you should expect some skin purging. Not to be confused with a reaction breakout, the embedded oils and toxins from facial pores will be brought to the surface as the mask goes to work. It varies from person to person, but the purge can include whiteheads, blackheads, papules, etc. While frustrating in the short-term, this is a sign that your facial tissues are ridding themselves of toxins and excess oils. Stick with the program and repeat the mask in one week; once your face has completed its purge, continued weekly masks will keep skin at its best.
