CLAY MASKS FOR BLEMISHES

Clay Masks for Blemishes

For all clay masks use wooden utensils ,spatula and avoid metal containers to keep clay's properties effective.

There are three phases of a clay mask. First is the damp phase where your skin sucks in the beneficial minerals from the outside. Second is beginning of the dry phase, which exercises your capillaries and promotes blood flow as the mask cools and contracts. Third is the dry phase, which sucks out moisture from the surface of your skin, leading to dehydration and irritation. Not only does skin then feel dry, tight, and sometimes itchy, but when you offset it by slathering on extra face cream, you’re just smothering your freshly cleansed skin.
