If your skin is congested, oily and irritated, bentonite clay is one of the most amazing ingredients you need in your skin care routine. Lets start with a word of caution though.

If your skin is congested, oily and irritated, bentonite clay is one of the most amazing ingredients you need in your skin care routine. Lets start with a word of caution though. 

Especially if your skin care routine is ummmm, non-existent (we don’t judge here), do not think of having a detox facial before a big day. The reason being that detoxing or deep cleansing ingredients such as clays will draw out not only what’s on the surface, but inside the skin, and this may cause a breakout. Do not fear, as this is the skin purging itself of yuckiness. If you want clean, beautiful skin before a big even, start caring for the skin a week or two before.

So back to the benefits. This is an amazing ingredient because it draws out toxins, can eliminate mild blackhead infestations, and also helps eliminate irritation. Not much seems to be understood behind the mechanism by which it calms the skin, but it is rich in minerals, and surely feeds the skin. This is easily demonstrated by the fact that the skin is left silky smooth and soft when the mud is rinsed off.

Some interesting things to note. 

Bentonite clay is mild enough to be use daily, blackheads are normally eliminated after 3 treatments. Do not let the clay dry out completely or the cracking can cause irritation.

Can be used to treat nappy rash.

Can be used internally to detox (make sure you purchase pure bentonite clay).

But here’s a fun fact I bet you didn’t know. Bentonite clay can be used as a mask to alleviate an oily scalp and assist in removing product buildup. The hair generally experiences a lift, is more bouncy, with a more defined curl pattern and added softness.

For blackheads or oily skin, bentonite clay mixed with water can suffice to remove blackheads. A regime with a weekly with the clay will keep them away. In order to get rid of them, applying bentonite clay for about 30 mins for 3 or 4 days daily is normally enough to remove them.
