- Functions
Each cosmetic clay consists of different mineral compositions, and each clay type impacts and benefits the skin differently. The high mineral content of clay rejuvenates the skin while the clay exfoliates and stimulates the blood circulating to the skin. Regular use of clay facials will remove dead skin cells, improve circulation to the skin, remove debris from the pores and bring about a smooth healthy glow.
