In the field of cosmetology, there are few products that everyone agrees on. However, this is the case with clayClay has been used for its medicinal and cosmetic properties since ancient times.

Clay can be used pure or in a wide range of mixtures, and can in fact refer to various mineral powders.

City life clogs the skin and scalp with toxins from pollution, making the skin and hair greasy.

To avoid this dirty look, which has nothing to do with your personal hygiene, the clay mask is ideal.

 

How to choose the ideal clay?

These are due to their composition, which is more or less rich in silica, and which consequently influences their properties.

Thus, for oily hair as well as for oily skin, green clay is preferred as it is more absorbent than the others.

On the other hand, white clay, or kaolin, is preferred for dry or fragile hair.

With a low mineral content, it is ideal for hair that undergoes frequent hot or chemical treatments.

For hair lacking in volume, yellow clay is the perfect choice. It will eliminate toxins and boost dull hair.
