Add It Again, Monday (Kaolin Clay)

Over the years I have learned that I absolutely LOVE adding clays to my bath and beauty products. One of my go to clays is Kaolin Clay.

Kaolin Clay is used in a lot of bath and beauty products today, especially in facial masks. It improves blood circulation, evens out oily skin, eliminates toxins from your body, mineralizes dry skin, and is 100% chemical free. Who wouldn't want all of that happening??

For a basic clay mask, you can mix kaolin clay with a carrier oil and a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil for scent. Mix it all together and spread it on your face (spot test first to check for allergic reactions). Leave it on for 5 - 10 minutes and then rinse off. Your skin will thank you!

Here are some Black Willow Soaps products that use kaolin clay:

Soothing Earth Herbal Facial Mask

Hunter Shea Butter Soap
