How to choose cosmetic clay according to skin type: which one is suitable

The varieties of cosmetic clay presented on store shelves differ not only in color, but also in the effect they have on the skin of the face.
So, for oily or combination skin types, masks with a drying effect are suitable, while for dry skin such products are strictly contraindicated by cosmetologists. For sensitive epidermis, clay with a matting effect is recommended to be used exclusively in diluted form. Therefore, you need to choose the right clay for your skin type, otherwise it may cause irritation or have the opposite effect. To do this, add to the masks:

  • nourishing oils;
  • herbal decoctions;
  • chopped fruits;
  • dairy products;
  • honey;
  • egg yolk.

Pink and red clays provide the most gentle care for dry skin. Both types are distinguished by their delicate consistency, due to which the delicate removal of keratinized epithelial cells occurs.

Pink clay has a regenerating effect, increases blood flow in the tissues of the skin, thereby saturating the skin with essential nutrients and oxygen.

White, green and blue cosmetic clays can be applied in diluted form. Such products affect the production of the sebaceous glands, thereby reducing the amount of sebum secreted.

On oily or combination skin types, products with a similar effect work much better than on dry, flaky skin. That is why, before using clay with a drying effect, it is additionally diluted with various natural ingredients or oils. You can find out which facial clay is the most effective here.

When giving preference to one type or another, do not forget to take into account two important factors:

  1. Clay deposit. The area where the rock was mined must comply with environmental standards. Only clay that does not contain harmful toxic substances and heavy metals will be useful.
  2. Composition of the product. Some manufacturers make the mistake of producing low-quality clay, giving the powder the desired shade using various chemical dyes. Such products not only cause harm, but also stain the skin, after which it is necessary to cleanse the face in other additional ways.

Pay special attention to the composition of the clay from which you make cosmetics.

How to use clay correctly?

To achieve maximum effect, it is recommended to mix clay with various additives: sour dairy products, fruits and berries, herbs, gelatin, egg yolk, etc.

Popular recipes

Here are some of the most effective recipes that can be used for rejuvenation at home.

Rejuvenating

A rejuvenating anti-wrinkle mask made from white clay is suitable for those with normal to combination skin. For preparation you will need a fermented milk product (kefir for oily skin or sour cream for normal skin), as well as aloe juice.

You can prepare this product yourself. To do this, the bottom leaf of the plant is washed, dried and placed in the vegetable compartment in the refrigerator, first wrapped in parchment. After ten days of exposure, you need to cut off the spines and skin from the inside of the leaf. Using a spoon, collect the pulp and squeeze it through cheesecloth. One mask will require a teaspoon of this valuable product.

Stir a couple of tablespoons of white clay in the fermented milk product, achieving a fairly thick creamy mass, then pour in the juice and mix. The composition is ready.

Lifting effect

This composition is especially recommended for use after the age of 50, as it not only smoothes out wrinkles, but also effectively tightens, providing a lifting effect.

Take green clay and potato starch, one spoon at a time, mix. Mix with a spoonful of thick sour cream (fat content 20% or higher) and one whipped egg white. After removing the composition, be sure to apply a moisturizer.

Smoothing

This composition effectively nourishes and smoothes out fine wrinkles. It is prepared using blue clay. Take a spoonful of flower honey and heat it a little in a water bath so that the product becomes more plastic, but heats up too much. Pour a spoonful of clay and pre-pounded yolk into warm honey, mix everything thoroughly.

Eliminate wrinkles on the forehead

An effective clay mask against wrinkles on the forehead is prepared on the basis of cosmetic white kaolin and olive oil. It is necessary to heat the oil to 40 degrees and mix it with clay so that a fairly thick mass is obtained.

Before applying the composition, you need to lie down. Apply a fairly thick layer to the forehead, cover with a paper towel, a piece of cling film, and place a thick terry towel on top. After 20 minutes, remove the composition; it is advisable to use chamomile infusion rather than water.

For excessive dryness

On skin prone to dryness, wrinkles begin to form at a young age. To prevent their appearance and eliminate existing wrinkles, it is recommended to use the following recipe:

  • grind the yolk of a chicken egg, adding to it a boatload of freshly prepared applesauce (grate a piece of fresh apple on the finest grater);
  • Pour a spoonful of red clay and half a teaspoon of jojoba oil into the prepared mass, rub everything until smooth.

Tonic

To give your skin tone and healthy color, you can use the following composition:

  • First you need to prepare an infusion of chamomile, place a tablespoon of dry raw materials in a glass and fill half the container with boiling water. Cover the dish with a saucer and let cool;
  • filter the infusion, carefully squeezing out the plant material;
  • take a couple of spoons of yellow clay and dilute it with infusion so that you get a mass similar in thickness to sour cream;
  • add half a teaspoon of avocado oil and rub.

Cleansing and eliminating wrinkles

To prepare this composition we use black cosmetic clay. For dilution we use milk (if the skin is dry or normal) or a decoction of St. John's wort (if the skin is prone to oiliness). Pour in enough liquid to form a creamy mass. Additionally, add half a teaspoon of wheat germ oil to the mixture. This composition perfectly renews the skin, the face looks younger after the first procedure.

Nourishing

This option is suitable for skin prone to flaking. We will need pomegranate, as well as essential and base oils. First, prepare a mixture of oils; to do this, pour a tablespoon of almond oil, a teaspoon of shea butter and five drops of lemon or blood orange ether into a bowl.

Separately prepare pomegranate juice (a tablespoon) and mix it with red clay until a thick mass is obtained. Then add a mixture of oils to the mixture and grind.

Nutrition and elasticity

This is a very simple but powerful anti-aging composition. You only need three ingredients - natural sea buckthorn oil, yolk and yellow clay. Mix them until the consistency of cream is obtained, add the yolk and knead until smooth.

Effective prevention

This composition can be used to prevent the formation of wrinkles after 25 years. To prepare the composition, it is recommended to use pink clay. To dilute the product we use milk or cream. We choose the last option if the skin is dry. Do this preventive procedure weekly, conduct courses twice a year.

To relieve irritation

If rashes and redness often appear on the skin, then the following composition will help solve the problem and smooth out fine wrinkles.

  • “Hercules” flakes (choose cereals that need to be cooked for at least 20 minutes, quick-cooking cereals and those that brew millet with boiling water will not work) The cereal needs to be ground into flour using a coffee grinder, we will need a spoonful of this flour.
  • The clay is green, we will take twice as much of it as oatmeal;
  • Mix the two dry ingredients and dilute them with warm milk until you get the consistency of sour cream. Let it brew for about half an hour. If the mass has thickened too much, add a little more milk;
  • Just before application, add five drops of tea tree ether and stir.

To level the terrain

Oily, porous skin does not look very beautiful; to make it more even and smooth, it is worth conducting a course of masks using a composition based on gray clay.

It is necessary to beat the protein to a strong foam and mix it with a spoon of kefir and gray clay. Add clay to the mixture little by little, achieving the desired consistency. When the mass acquires the thickness of sour cream, the mask can be applied. If you add the contents of two capsules of pharmaceutical vitamins Aevit to the prepared mass, the effect will be even more pronounced.

The effectiveness of clay for facial skin

Depending on the intensity of the sebaceous glands, as well as the level of moisture, cosmetologists and dermatologists distinguish 4 main types of skin:

  • normal;
  • fatty;
  • dry;
  • mixed (combined).

Each of these types requires an individual approach regarding the selection of clay masks.

Normal

A rather rare type, which is distinguished by small, unnoticeable pores, an even matte shade, a normal level of sebum production, and resistance to weather and hormonal changes.

When using kaolin for masks, you should adhere to moderation so as not to dry out the epidermis. In order to prevent rashes, maintain even color, elasticity, and smoothness, choose blue, green, pink or black breed.

Fatty

This type is characterized by enlarged pores, more frequent manifestations of acne, oily shine, dense texture, and rather late appearance of wrinkles. The skin layer does not tolerate high temperatures and humidity, and reacts to hormonal fluctuations and inappropriate cosmetics by clogging pores and rashes.

Face masks should have a pronounced drying, antibacterial, cleansing effect. Therefore, for oily types, choose white, blue, yellow, green, black or pink powder.

This type is distinguished by a thin, delicate epithelial surface with invisible pores and a matte tint, a reduced level of fat production, which often manifests itself in dryness, irritation, and flaking. Earlier than other types, they experience expression lines or age-related wrinkles.

For dry dermis, it is necessary to select products that have high moisturizing, soothing, and refreshing qualities. Gray, black, pink, red cosmetic clay is suitable for this.

Mixed

This skin surface is the most common; it combines oily, dry and normal types, appearing in different areas of the face. It is characterized by increased fat content, enlarged pores on the forehead, nasolabial folds, and chin. Cheeks, cheekbones, temples are represented by dry or normal skin.

The choice of masks must be approached more responsibly and individually, analyzing the skin's reaction. White, yellow, black, pink, green breeds are most suitable for mixed dermis.

Oily, dry, combination skin may have signs of sensitivity or problems that appear under the influence of external and internal factors.

When looking for effective facial care products, clay is the first thing that comes to mind. Clay is a fine-grained sedimentary mineral rich in nutrients necessary to maintain the beauty and health of the epidermis.

Cosmetic mineral powders have the ability to exfoliate the dead layer of the epidermis, absorb excess sebum, and deeply cleanse pores. Regular use of the product helps get rid of oily shine, fine wrinkles, rashes, and restore smoothness and radiance to the skin.

The use of a mineral substance helps eliminate toxins, eliminate acne, restore epidermal tissue, and reduce scars. Relieves irritation, soothes itching caused by injuries, burns and even some dermatological diseases.

The fat content of the epidermis is caused by excessive secretion of the sebaceous glands. Women with an oily type of epidermis are faced with dilated excretory ducts, acne, and blackheads. The skin is characterized by the presence of a greasy line, untidiness, has an unsightly grayish tint and often an uneven surface.

Blue and green minerals help eliminate shine. Black – provides deep cleansing and narrowing of the excretory ducts, eliminates and prevents the appearance of acne and blackheads. Blue and white restore the functioning of the sebaceous glands. The best option to combat fat content is alternating mineral powders.

Tips for using clay

There are basic recommendations for making and using clay masks:

1. It is best to add base and essential oils to a clay mask. This will prevent the clay from drying out on your face, drawing moisture from the skin. 2. Do not let the clay mask dry. When dry, the clay mask absorbs moisture from the upper layers of the skin, causing it to become dry and tight. 3. Clay masks cannot be kept on the face for longer than 15 minutes. When using clay masks for oily skin types and skin with clogged pores, as the masks dry, you can see the skin secretion that is adsorbed by the clay. They appear in the form of spots on dried areas.

Also, when using clay masks, it is best to periodically spray the area with the mask applied with water from a spray bottle to avoid drying out the skin.

The easiest way to remove a clay mask is with a damp cosmetic sponge. There is no need to rub or stretch the skin when removing the mask; just moisten your face generously with warm water and carefully rinse off the mask.

Indications and contraindications

Using clay you can solve many cosmetic skin problems, including:

  • eliminate excess greasiness;
  • reduce the number of rashes and inflammations;

  • During the procedure you cannot grimace or talk; it is important that all facial muscles are as relaxed as possible;
  • You need to wash off the mask very carefully; at the same time, using additional cleansers is undesirable, but possible. For example, if the skin has enlarged pores, then clay particles can penetrate inside, so it is recommended to use a soft scrub to remove them.

  • after removing the composition, be sure to apply a cream suitable for your skin type;
