Kaolin Clay
Kaolin clay, also known as China or White Clay, is the gentlest of the various facial clays available, making it perfect for sensitive skin types.
Description
Kaolin Clay
Kaolin Clays' gentle absorptive properties do not over-dry or pucker your skin during use. It is extremely effective in pulling impurities from the deeper layers of your skin to the surface where they can be washed away, leaving your skin looking rejuvenated and fresh. Kaolin Clay also gently stimulates blood circulation to the area of application.
APPEARANCE
Kaolin clay is a fine, light clay with a high natural absorbency rate. When applied to your skin, after being mixed with a little warm water, it immediately begins to soak up excess oils and stale sebum on your skin and within its pores.
Kaolin clay pulls impurities such as grime, dirt, pollution and germs deep within the layers of our skin and leaves pores open and clean. This gentle cleansing effectively prevents them from clogging up and causing breakouts.
Benefits of Kaolin Clay:
- Reduces Oily Skin
- Purifies Pores & Detoxes Skin
- Cleanses Skin
- Soothes Sensitive Skin
- Exfoliates Dead Cells
