To avoid nasty surprises, here are 5 important tips to know about clay masks.

[title text=”The colour and choice of the type of clay is of great importance” tag_name=”h2″]

Green is green: real green clay is illite clay.

Clay is a sedimentary rock, extremely rich in minerals and trace elements. Whilegreen clay is by far the best known and most effective, it comes in colour and softness. Green, white, red, pink, yellow, ghassoul… Each of these clays has amazing living properties, which have the distinction of adapting to your skin type smoothly.

Depending on the needs of your skin at the moment T, one clay will be preferred over another. To help you choose the clay that’s right for you, don’t hesitate to answer our quick and simple test. In just a few minutes, you’ll know which clay is best for your skin type and maximize the effects of this ultra-rich soil on your skin.

Whatever its colour, we have chosen to offer you a clay 100% natural and pure. Depending on your needs and desires, all you have to do is choose the right clay format: clay made of paste or powdered clay. At Argiletz, clay is respected throughout its production process to provide you with an optimal result.

[title text=”Green clay, to be used without moderation” tag_name=”h2″]

Thanks to its strong absorbent power and the precious minerals and trace elements it contains, green clay is appreciated around the world for its many benefits on the skin. Applied to normal, oily or blemished skin, the green clay mask corrects, cleanses, helps regulate sebum production by purifying the epidermis; all while respecting the epidermis.

At the same time rich and powerful, however, it is necessary to pay attention to its use. In order to benefit from all its properties, we focus your attention on the importance of keeping your clay always moist on your skin when using. This will protect the hydrolipidic film from your skin, and avoid the small tug-of-war that clay may cause when it dries.
Moisture is paramount,
it allows the clay to exchange with the skin the trace elements that the epidermis needs.

We recommend applying a clay mask once or twice a week and supplement with a moisturizer after each mask with green clay, white clay, red clay, pink clay, yellow clay or ghassoul clay.

[title text=”The clay mask should not dry” tag_name=”h2″]

It is sometimes thought that it is necessary to wait until the mask is completely dry to remove it and rinse the skin. It’s a mistake. In order to take advantage of the minerals and trace elements essential to the well-being and radiance of your skin, the clay must remain moist. Clay is a natural but living product, moisture is essential for its effectiveness.

To prevent the clay mask from drying out and drying your skin, apply the mask in a thick layer and moisten it well during installation. To do this, we advise you to keep a water spray or a mist handy, and to spray a little water as much as necessary!

Moisturize your skin after removing the clay mask

After a clay mask, it is important to moisturize your skin. To strengthen the hydrolipidic film and avoid excessive sebum production, especially for problem skins. Rinsing alone is not enough. Depending on the nature of your skin, you should choose a moisturizing and nourishing treatment with a more or less rich texture. This applies even to mixed or oily skin. A serum should then be used for very dry skin and for all skin types a moisturizer for the face day or night, depending on the time of day. Poorly hydrated skin can become sensitive and reactive.

[title text=”Prepare your clay mask for the face or hair” tag_name=”h2″]

Clay is highly prized for facials because of its natural origin and high efficiency. However, it is a living matter, active in contact with water and deserves special attention when handled.

It is important that it is in contact only with natural and noble materials. For example, you can opt for a ceramic, wooden or glass bowl to make your preparation. To mix clay and water (or any other natural ingredient!), we recommend using a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients.

Plastic and metal should never be used, however, as they distort clay and can cause it to lose some of its properties.

Nothing beats a clay mask to take care of her face and hair. The benefits of this totally natural sedimentary rock are no longer to be demonstrated.

White, pink, red, green, ghassoul or yellow, there are for each skin type. However, you need to know their properties well and know how to use them correctly in order to reap the full benefits.

How to use powdered clay?

how-use-clay-powder

Clay is a natural material appreciated for its many benefits since the dawn of time. Thanks to its rich composition minerals and trace elements,its uses are multiple, both for the face, the body, the hair, but also for the maintenance of the house and the care of the animals. If it is now possible to find it in different forms such as ready-to-use dough or as a component of patented cosmetics, powdered clay is by far the most widely used form in the world. However, in order to fully benefit from its virtues, it is essential to know how to use it and to know the mistakes to avoid.

[title text=”CHOOSE THE CLAY’S GRANULOMETRY BASED ON ITS USE” tag_name=”h2″]

Clay is a raw material, originating from the Earth, whose shape is very heterogeneous. Once extracted and worked, it is offered under different granulometry depending on its different uses. What is granulometry?   This is the size of the clay grains, which can vary in coarse grains or pieces of 2cm of very (very) small grains (powder) of 20 microns. Here’s a little recap of our different granulometry and their use.

  • Face and hair masks

To pamper your skin and regain a soft and silky hair, clay is a treatment of choice that will never cease to surprise you. Whether you’re a fan of zero waste care or just looking for a treatment that’s both natural and effective, we have good   news: making your clay mask has never been   easier!

To do this, we advise you to use our ultra-ventilated clays. In the form of grains of about 20 microns, the ultra-ventilated clay takes a form of velvety and light powder. Thanks to the fineness of its grain, this clay is ideal for the preparation of clay masks (face and hair) or for use in bath water because it melts instantly. With it, exit the lumps and hello to the smooth and homogeneous dough.

Surf clay also has an interesting granulometry. The fineness of its grains – 60 microns, allows it to melt very quickly on contact with water or any other thinner. All you have to do is stir the dough for a few seconds to get a smooth treatment.

  • Cataplasms and plasters

If there are different colors of clay, green clay powder is by far the most used (and most   effective!) when used in cataplasm or plaster. In this case, it is important to clearly define the area on which you want to apply a cataplasm and how often you want to apply it. Depending on these elements, and in order to make the care the most economical while remaining as practical as possible to prepare, you can turn to the granulometry   below:

  • Fine ground clay (between 0.05 and 0.5 mm):   The clay is in the form of rather coarse raw powder. It melts instantly and allows a smooth paste without difficulty.
  • Granulated clay (0.5   mm): in the form of grains of about 8 mm, the granulated clay melts in 30 minutes and therefore requires a preparation time.

  • Crushed clay (2   cm): the clay is raw, in the form of irregular pieces. It takes 2 hours for it to melt evenly. We recommend preparing the dough the day before, or in the morning for the evening, so that the dough is as homogeneous as possible. This is the most economical format but requires a longer preparation time.

One of the many advantages of powdered clay is that it can be combined with other ingredients (preferably natural and organic), for complete and targeted care. There are a thousand and one possibilities! These ingredients can include powders, fruits, vegetables, all kinds of food ingredients (honey, cornflour, yoghurt…) and even liquids such as vegetable oils, essential oils or hydrolats.

[title text=”DIY recipes with powdered clay”]

There are a multitude of homemade recipes allowing you to make a clay-based mask according to the needs of your skin or hair at a T moment.

Add vegetable oil such as sweet almond or rose rose oil and you’ll have a nourishing and moisturizing 100% natural combo. As a bonus, this trick will allow you to keep your mask wet longer.

Some even add essential oils to their clay powder, but beware, the clay has a cloaking power and can therefore keep the essential oil as   “under   bell” on the skin and this can cause burns. Be careful when you embark on a combination of clay and essential oil, and choose a non-dermocaustic essential oil (which do not contain phenols irritating molecules.). Another option to enjoy both your favorite essential oils and your fetish green clay is to proceed in two steps :

  • Make your green clay cataplasm (without essential oil in the   mixture); leave it in place for 1 to 2 hours then rinse and dry.
  • Apply in a second time the essential oil of your choice diluted in a vegetable oil (see dosage on the bottle) in modeling.

Always take the tether of a health professional before using essential oils.

I mean, good   news! Powdered clay is compatible with all kinds of ingredients that you can easily find in your kitchen (placards and   fridge!), such as   fruits and vegetables   (especially in the form of juice), yoghurt, honey, sugar, cornflour… for even more targeted and comprehensive actions. This   allows you to use products with (very) short expiry dates and thus limit   waste!

[title text=”The diluants”]

Powder clay can be used for various cosmetic and personal hygiene treatments. Instead of mineral water, you can associate it with a hydrolat (pink water for example)   for a synergy action.

[title text=”CHOOSE YOUR CLAY POWDER COLOUR” tag_name=”h2″]

There are different clay colors, each of which has its own properties. To appreciate all the benefits, it is therefore essential to choose the color of clay according to your   skin type.

  • Green clay is the best known of all, it is applied to all skin types and is appreciated oily skin on which it will have a strong absorption power and will regulate excess sebum.
  • Yellow clay,with exfoliating powers, is intended for mixed skins.
  • Red clay is ideal for dry skin, which will soften and illuminate.
  • White clay – also called kaolin, is the softest of clays. It is intended for dull skins that it will lighten and sublimate.
  • Pink clay is a subtle blend of red clay and white clay, perfect for sensitive and reactive skin that needs to be gently soothed and cleaned.
  • Less well known, there is also Ghassoul clay, which is used for all skin types and allows a deep cleansing of the skin.
[title text=”DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS OR CONTAINERS” tag_name=”h2″]

One of the mistakes you shouldn’t make when you want to use powdered clay is a PRIMORDIALE   one: avoid any utensils or metal or plastic containers when handling this land of benefits.

I don’t know   why. Because clay is a land of life, it reacts when it comes into contact with metal or plastic. These two materials can alter the properties of clay and thus limit its action on your skin and/or hair.

If you want to enjoy the virtues of powdered clay and make your own clay paste, we recommend using a wooden spoon as well as a wooden, sandstone or glass bowl.

As you will have understood, powdered clay offers you a multitude of possibilities, it allows you an easy, efficient and economical care, which you can achieve on the go. Lack of   inspiration? Find all our recipes for clay   masks!

[title text=”DON’T LET THE CLAY DRY” tag_name=”h2″]

When pausing a mask, plaster or clay cataplasm, it is imperative to keep the clay moist for the duration. The active ions of clay wake up on contact with water and this is how they transmit all their benefits to you. When clay dries on your skin, it loses one of its   most important abilities: that of releasing its minerals and trace elements. However, it continues to absorb, and this can lead to a drying of the epidermis after a certain period of time. So to do well, think about regularly rehumidifying or removing the clay as soon as the tug-of-arms is   felt!
