Recapturing Your Youthful Beauty Naturally! Back To Basics With Clay

With ever popular trends to get back to natural products for skin and health care, consumers are merging more toward products of the earth to enhance their natural beauty. Clay facial masks are featured in high end day spas and resorts and are often priced above what the average person can afford to spend.

There's a simple and affordable opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a soothing clay facial in the comforts of your own home if you don't mind spending a little time researching and a few dollars investing in your own supplies.



Clay is an excellent exfoliant, it assists the skin in maintaining a healthy ph balance and makes for a wonderful salve for rashes, insect bites, poison oak, poison ivy and diaper rash.

Once applied to the skin, as the clay begins to dry, it shrinks, drawing out impurities and lifting dead skin cells even as the skin begins to absorb therapeutic minerals. This dual action leaves the skin looking fresher and more youthful. As it dries and draws the skin tight it helps to temporarily shrink pores making for smoother application of cosmetics. You'll love how soft and smooth your face feels afterward!

To find the clay that is correct for your skin below are some general guidelines:

You can find any number of clay suppliers on the internet, but one readily available version seems to be the Fuller's Clay found in area drugstores. Just as there are many suppliers on the internet, there are many more variations. The research alone is quite interesting!

Since it only takes a couple of tablespoons to make a wonderful facial mask and you only need to use this facial mask once or twice a week, you will find that clay is a budget friendly means of maintaining healthy skin.

Multhani Mitti Benefits for Hair

Taking care of natural afro hair requires a regimen consisting of eating healthy, drinking plenty of water and hydrating your curly mane. Whilst my hair is in a protective style during the cold winter months, I still ensure I continue to moisturize and condition my hair and I have found the multani mitti clay as the best clarifying clay that conditions and cleanses my hair. So let's delve into finding out what this natural ingredient is.

I first discovered this clay during my ''slippery slope'' internet searches when I was searching for a natural conditioning product that can condition my hair without containing parabens and sulphates. I became interested in it as it is one of the aryuvedic products hailing from India.

 ''Aryuveda'' is a holistic maintenance of the mind and body with the use of ''mother earths'' natural abundance. This product was a great find for me as I realized its uses would be good for my problem skin and for my hair. It has been used for many centuries in India and here are the benefits of this clay.

Multani mitti contains silica, calcium, iron and magnesium these minerals are essential for our body, you can imagine the great benefits these will have on your skin, I will write a post on the skin mask, however today we will focus on the hair mask.

 I made the hair mask using the following ingredients. Silica is essential for the hair structure and texture (hence the conditioning properties), calcium is vital for fuller, thicker hair. With iron promoting hair growth and magnesium helping with absorption of all these wonderful minerals.


I try my best to have this treatment fortnightly, give this a try and I look forward to your comments!

Until next time...
