Further Information:
Every day we are exposed to toxins through the air we breathe, the water we drink, and food we consume. The most susceptible of all tissues to the damaging effects of these toxins is our skin. Through our exposure to toxins, sometimes our skin produces acne. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when there is an overproduction of sebum—the oily compound produced by sebaceous glands within your hair follicles. When sebum is produced in excessive quantities, it can clog the pores of your skin, leading to the deposition of dirt and bacteria. This is what causes the formation of pimples.
To fight back against acne-causing toxins, the use of Kaolin clay in a facial mask will help to draw out sebum. While a kaolin clay face mask isn’t ideal for dry skin, it may help those with oily skin and those who are acne-prone. It’s used to draw out impurities, toxins, oils, secretions, and contaminants from the pores. It helps to clear the skin of excess dirt and pollution without causing additional redness or irritation. Because of its antibacterial properties, kaolin clay may be useful in treating acne, too.
Bentonite clay, when applied regularly via a facial mask, helps to remove these toxins from deep within the skin and improve skin health. Bentonite clay is rich in vital minerals and due to its nano-particle nature, it is easy for the mineral molecules to enter the skin. Individual particles of Bentonite clay carry a negative charge on their surface. This helps them attract positively charged particles of toxins, which they can pull out from the deeper layers of your skin. The abrasive nature of Bentonite clay particles gives them mild exfoliating properties. Bentonite clay helps in microdermabrasion, a process that removes the upper dead skin cell layer to reveal the underlying layer. Bentonite clay also has excellent sebum absorbing capabilities and aids in minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores. Regular use of Bentonite clay as a facial mask will help remove excess sebum and catalyze sebum production in the skin. When a bentonite clay mask is applied, it creates a gentle antiseptic environment that kills acne-causing bacteria. This helps in treating the problem at its root.
Silicon is one such mineral (in the form of silica) that can enter the skin through a Bentonite clay mask. Silicon is fundamental to the production of collagen—the main structural protein which contributes to the firmness of youthful skin. While the production rate of collagen decreases as skin ages, a constant supply of silicon, especially through facial masks made of Bentonite clay, can replenish its dwindling stores and fuel the production of new collagen. This in turn can bring back the firmness of your skin, making it look more vital.
