Treat your skin to the magical powers of clay with these 18 masks
You may have been seeing a lot of clay beauty products lately, especially since they fall into both the natural skin care and detoxing trend, which we surely can’t get enough of! And while you may not know the darn difference between Kaolin and Bentonite clays, it’s safe to say that both clays boast insane beauty benefits you’ll totally want to check out.
"Clay works to absorb excess oil on the skin and scalp, board-certified dermatologist Tsippora Shainhouse tells HelloGiggles. "This may help prevent acne breakouts in acne-prone skin, and help reduces dandruff on greasy scalps (the yeast that causes dandruff thrives in grease)."
While Kaolin clays are best suited for sensitive types, Shainhouse notes that Bentonite clay is great for those with greasy and red skin types. However, Shainhouse also states that both of these special clays are non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic, making them suitable for all skin types to use.
