Known for thousands of years and still entirely relevant today. Bentonite clay is one of the most extensively studied natural skincare ingredients — derived from volcanic ash, it is particularly effective for deeper skin cleansing and addressing the concerns of oily and blemish-prone skin. This bentonite clay facial is available in a 50-gram size, recommended for normal and oily skin types.
The effects of bentonite clay
Bentonite clay — also known as montmorillonite clay — has long been used to treat various skin concerns, particularly blemishes, minor irritations, and skin conditions affecting the surface layer. Its fine powder draws out impurities, excess oils, and dead skin cells from the surface, while deeply cleansing the pores. With regular use, skin appears smoother, cleaner, and more even in tone.
How to use it?
Mix a small amount of bentonite clay with water until smooth — roughly a teaspoon of powder with enough water to achieve a creamy consistency. Apply an even layer to cleansed skin and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. You will feel the skin tighten as the mask dries — this is the sign that it is working. Rinse off with lukewarm water. Recommended for use one to two times per week. Avoid the area around the eyes. It is worth applying a moisturiser after use, as the clay also removes excess oils. Applied carefully for a shorter duration, it can also give good results on sensitive skin.
