Try These Homemade Clay Face Pack Recipes By Beauty Guru Shahnaz Husain

Clay has been a part of the beauty world for a long time now. For centuries, it has been used to treat beauty ailments. Natural clays like Fuller's Earth or Multani Mitti are hailed for their goodness. However, if clay isn't a part of your beauty regime, it is time you upgrade your skincare routine by adding some homemade clay packs.

Clay Benefits For Skin

Beauty expert Shahnaz Husain shared that clay is beneficial for the skin since it has absorbing and healing properties. It is great for oily skin because it reduces excess oil which leads to skin woes like pimples and acne. By absorbing toxins and impurities from our skin, clay detoxifies our skin. Some clays also come with a cooling effect which makes them a great beauty ingredient for the hot season. Using clay packs helps tone and tighten the skin.

Types Of Clay For Skin

Fuller's Earth (Multani Mitti) and Kaolin are the most commonly used clays for skin. Clays are available in a variety of colours and the hue depends on the presence of different minerals in it. For instance, white clay contains Kaolin. Clays with a light beige shade contain Fuller's Earth and other minerals.
