10 Clay Masks Benefits: Your Skin Loves Them—Here's Why

“Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy in my lane. Focused. Flourishing.” If there was ever a meme that campaigned for healthy skin, it would be this! And skincare masks are right at the top, for they revamp the skincare routine.

So, yes, it is always good to take care of your skin. It takes up the largest space of your body, after all. If you are feeling that despite following the three-step routine- Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing – your skin needs something new, then it is time you look at clay face creams.  But why use clay for skin?

Because clay masks come with good benefits for skin care and here they are:

Tighten pores

You face dirt, dust, oil and other pollutants throughout the day and while a good facewash may help, it does not help with all kinds of impurities that accumulate on your skin. This leaves your face rougher and may lead to larger pores and other skin problems. Larger pores create an environment that nurtures bacteria which results in breakouts and makes skin more vulnerable to acne. Clay masks tighten skin pores and helps prevents this. So, using clay for skin tightening is a good remedy.

Good for Exfoliation

Exfoliation can help improve the overall health of the skin and clay masks definitely score in this department. Clay is known for its absorbent properties and hence, helps pull oil and dirt from the pores of your skin and clear out any toxins. It’s why clay for acne is typically recommended as well.

While conventional exfoliators tend to irritate or dehydrate the skin, it is not true for the clay, which also acts as a natural cleanser. Clay has many different types and each one has distinctive characteristics. French Green clay detoxifies by removing dead cells.

A healthy skin is the one that is supple, even-toned and the one that glows.

And seeing the fast-paced lives that we live, it is not uncommon to have skin that looks tired. This is often due to not having a set skincare routine. But clay mask may help with just that. Cleansing, Toning and Moisturising is the most basic skincare routine but adding clay masks ensures all dead skin is washed off – in a natural way.

Clay can regulate your skin by binding to it and taking down the dead bacterial cells with it, reducing bad bacteria from your skin and ensuring only the healthy amount remains.

Thus, it is recommended that you include a clay mask in your skin care routine for this.

Balancing the skin

The skin's natural pH should be around 5.5. Overusing some skin care products or overexposure to weather elements may cause an imbalance. So, while some products may regulate this imbalance, some may actually do the opposite.

Skin which falls too much on the alkaline side is susceptible to various skin imperfections and it needs a certain level of acidity for balance. Chemicals are often added in non-natural products which strip the skin of its natural oils and disrupt the Ph. Hence, it is important to use skincare products that are natural.

And clay masks are a boon for that. The smooth creamy mask not only soothe the skin but also help balance this out. So, Naturbon made sure to have the best skincare products for sensitive skin.

It’s Organic

Clay is Mother Nature’s gift and there is a reason it should be kept that way. So, make sure to look for clay mask products that are organic as synthetic compounds, such as BPAs and parabens are not only harsh on the skin but also bad for the environment. Opt for plant-based or earth-based products that help you harmonize your skin and thrive within the environment to stay in-tune with nature.
