Argan oil, black soap or shea butter are among the products widely used by beauty salons. However, white clay is also a natural and effective product for carrying out targeted and beneficial care for the skin and hair. Less common than green clay, white clay is just as beneficial for the body. Many beauty institutes use it in particular for their anti-aging treatments, as well as for their "clear skin" masks, in order to eliminate impurities, toxins and blackheads. White clay treatments and masks are generally accompanied by essential oils and suitable vegetable oils, such as jojoba oil to eliminate imperfections, or even Goji berry essential oil for its antioxidant properties.
Used in institutes, white clay proves its effectiveness. Whether for dry and irritated skin or for damaged hair, white clay moisturizes the epidermis and softens irritation while repairing dry ends or scalp prone to dandruff. Its low mineral content makes it less aggressive than green clay and therefore more suitable for sensitive skin. White clay is also beneficial for baby's skin, due to its anti-allergenic virtue, and can therefore act as talc in its powdery state, a 100% natural talc that is much less irritating than commercial products.
If beauty institutes often offer treatments based on white clay, know that it is possible to make homemade masks or scrubs using this natural product. In order to benefit from the benefits of white clay at home while saving a few euros, do not hesitate to… rummage through your cupboards. Indeed, many products associated with white clay help you fight against dry skin, pimples, dry hair or even wrinkles. A mask made from white clay and warm water can even be enough, but if you want to specifically target a problem, it is possible with a few everyday products. For example, to repair dry and damaged hair, mix powdered white clay with an egg yolk and mineral water. Apply the mixture to the hair, insisting on the ends, and leave for 30 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water, and your hair will be revitalized. For mature skin, the combination of white clay and jojoba oil works wonders. In addition to regulating sebum, jojoba oil firms pores for toned and hydrated skin.
