Clay is one of the most popular ingredients in natural cosmetics. Rich in minerals and with exceptional purifying properties, it is particularly well-suited to combination to oily skin , prone to shine and imperfections. Discover how clay can transform your beauty routine and reveal clearer, more balanced skin.
Why use clay for combination to oily skin?
Combination to oily skin produces excess sebum, leading to shine, blackheads, and sometimes pimples. Clay is an ideal treatment because it:
-
Regulates excess sebum
Thanks to its absorbent power, clay captures excess sebum and leaves the skin mattified. -
Deeply purifies
It eliminates impurities, toxins and pollution residues, for a clearer and brighter complexion. -
Detoxifies and tightens pores
Its gently exfoliating action promotes skin regeneration while refining the texture.
Which clay should I choose for combination to oily skin?
Not all clays have the same properties. Here are the most effective ones for this skin type:
-
Green clay : The most absorbent, ideal for regulating sebum and deep purification.
-
Green clay illite or montmorillonite : Perfect for oily and blemish-prone skin.
-
White clay (kaolin) : Gentler, it is suitable for combination and sensitive skin.
-
Yellow clay : Exfoliating and toning, it restores radiance to dull complexions.
Tip : For combination skin, alternate green clay on the T-zone and white clay on the cheeks for a balanced treatment.
