Clay (masks) are pretty popular, but why? What are the benefits of using a clay mask, and why should you use it? Well, you will find out in this article!
How does clay work?
Clay in its natural state possesses negatively charged molecules. Most bacteria, metals, and toxins are positively charged molecules. When the clay is applied to the skin, the two bind together. While washing the clay off, you not only take off the clay, you also escort the toxins of the skin.
But how? Well, clay naturally seeks toxins on the body to bind with because of its molecular charge. Once they find each other, they bind and they leave the body once you take off the clay!
How does a clay mask work?
Clay in the form of a mask, will bind with toxins but also with bacteria. When you leave the clay mask on the skin and let it dry, it binds to bacteria on the surface of the skin and deep in the pores. In this process, it brings the bacteria to the surface. Once you take off the mask, you will also wash away the bacteria! This reduces the bacteria in your skin that are giving problems like acne and blackheads.
Using clay masks is even better than using antibiotics?
Clay masks will only take the bad toxins and bacteria out of your skin. It can heal skin infections and even reduce eczema and psoriasis. Clay masks work as a natural antibiotic. Why is it better, well because antibiotics will entirely wipe out bacteria, also friendly bacteria that promote healthy skin. Clay will only wipe out the bad bacteria and leave the good bacteria, as it should!
