Rating: No rating

Every woman, regardless of age, strives to look like a real queen. Currently, this is not so difficult, since modern cosmetology companies offer us a wide variety of products. However, not everyone can afford purchased newfangled cosmetics, and we are constantly looking for natural, cheaper analogues. I declare with full responsibility that blue clay occupies an honorable place among them: face masks made from this material have not only cosmetic, but also therapeutic effects . Let's look at all the pros and cons of this natural product.

Rules for preparation and application

To prepare the mask, use glass or ceramic dishes.
To get the best results, dilute the clay with a decoction of medicinal herbs, rather than with plain water.
Before applying the solution, wash off your makeup and use a scrub. For example, an aspirin scrub will do a great job with this task.
First sift the clay through a fine sieve to get rid of lumps.
Use only fresh ingredients as specified in the recipes.
Apply the mask to your face immediately after preparation and use it only once.
Strictly follow the instructions given in the recipe.
After removing the mixture from your face, do not expose yourself to sunlight for about 3-4 hours .
Alternate masks with each other if you want to get the most positive result and do not forget to take breaks so that your facial skin can rest a little. It is very good to alternate clay masks with moisturizing ones.

The use of clay in cosmetology

The use of clay for skin rejuvenation and healing began several thousand years ago - in Ancient Egypt. Today this substance is actively used to relieve inflammation, cleanse pores, dry, moisturize, and nourish different skin types.

Clay of different shades is suitable for each type. Its properties are enhanced by concentrates - decoctions, infusions, juices - from medicinal plants.

Clay for the face against blackheads is used in cosmetology as masks and washes.

Classic blue clay face mask recipe

Ingredients:

10 g blue clay;
20 ml of plain water or herbal decoction;
10 ml olive or castor oil;
10 g soft honey;
1 egg yolk.

Preparation and application process:

Melt the honey over low heat and set it aside to cool to room temperature.
Sift the clay through a fine sieve and pour it into a glass or ceramic bowl.
Add a decoction of medicinal herbs to the clay and mix the mixture thoroughly until it has a homogeneous consistency.
Add the yolk and butter to the cooled honey and stir thoroughly.
Mix all the ingredients and bring them to a mushy state.
We cleanse the face of makeup using a scrub, and apply a thin layer of baby cream around the eyes.
Carefully spread the solution for 15-20 minutes.

Don’t forget to use a toner or your favorite nourishing cream afterwards.

This mask promotes deep cleansing, eliminates various inflammations, and also supplies the facial skin with complete nutrition. It is great for both oily and dry skin. I recommend doing it at least three times a month.

Hair health: restoring fat balance

A mixture of Cambrian clay with herbal infusion (for example, chamomile, burdock, nettle) will help to cope with problems of fat imbalance. Distribute the mask evenly on your hair and leave for half an hour, then rinse it with shampoo and apply conditioner.

A clay mask is useful for those with oily hair. To normalize lipid balance, the following mask is suitable: combine 2 tablespoons of blue clay with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Chop two cloves of garlic.

A mask made from clay (2 tablespoons), sea buckthorn oil (1 tablespoon), egg yolk and honey (1 teaspoon) perfectly activates hair growth and makes it thicker.

You need to apply such masks for half an hour, then rinse your hair thoroughly with shampoo. These weekly procedures will give results within a month.

Sift the clay and mix it with water or broth.
Add the remaining ingredients to the resulting mixture and stir the mixture thoroughly.
Apply the resulting substance to those areas of the skin that require correction.
Remove the composition after 15 minutes using warm tap water and apply nourishing cream.

Healing wraps for a chic figure

To combat cellulite and maintain a normal figure, warm wraps are very useful. They provide oxygen enrichment to the skin and remove toxins.

After distributing clay diluted with warm water on problem areas, you need to wrap them in cling film. Then put on a warm robe or wrap yourself in a terry sheet. Session time is an hour. After this, take a contrast shower and treat your skin with moisturizer. If desired, you can add essential oils, coffee, herbal infusions, honey, and sea salt to the clay.

The course of such wraps can last up to three weeks (with daily sessions). After this, you need to take a break for one week, after which the procedures can be resumed.

This mask helps cleanse pores and also has a whitening effect. It is ideal for problematic, oily skin on the face.

Do not use masks more than three times a week.
Check the composition of the mask for an allergic reaction. Apply a little solution to your wrist and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. If you have a rash or pronounced redness, the mask is not for you.
Protect your eyes from getting the solution in them.

Reviews of blue clay face masks

I am a regular reader of an excellent site that keeps up with the times and reports on all the new products that have appeared in the field of cosmetology. In addition, the site offers a huge number of homemade recipes for all occasions. Recently, an online survey was conducted there with the participation of the famous cosmetologist Igor Petromyanov , who commented on the reviews of visitors. I am posting for you some interesting answers from the expert.

Maria, 45 years old

I have combination skin, so I have areas that tend to be oily. I prepared a classic blue clay mask, added kefir and cucumber pulp to it: I decided to combine the two recipes together. It was in the oily areas that I felt discomfort. Otherwise the mask is good and quite effective.

Expert answer: I really don’t recommend that you get carried away with saturating masks with a large number of ingredients - after all, each product must perform its own important function. I advise you to use already proven, ready-made recipes and strictly follow the instructions specified in them. In addition, remember an important rule: to get the most positive result, dilute the clay with a decoction of medicinal herbs or mineral water, and not with regular running water. These can be decoctions of nettle, chamomile, calendula, St. John's wort and so on. Health and good luck to you!

Anastasia, 32 years old

After using the blue clay face mask, I experienced skin redness for a couple of days. I did everything strictly according to the recipe and checked this mixture for an allergic reaction. What could be wrong?

Expert Answer: First of all: no need to worry. The fact is that blue clay cleanses the pores quite deeply, drawing out all the accumulated dirt and toxins to the surface - this takes time. Therefore, slight redness of the skin may be observed for several hours or even days after the procedure. You did everything right. Good luck to you!

Marina, 22 years old

I've heard that blue clay is very effective when used in its pure form. They also say that it can be used not only for the face, but also for hair and even the body. Please tell me, is this true? And how can you use it in its pure form?

Expert's answer: This is the absolute truth! Blue clay contains priceless gifts of nature, such as iron, calcium, chromium and so on. It is not surprising that masks made from it are recommended to be applied not only to the face, but also to other areas of the body to maintain their natural beauty. For example, try this recipe: dilute 30 g of blue clay powder with a decoction of medicinal herbs until a fairly thick paste is obtained, and then place the resulting solution in the sun for 12-15 hours. This mask can be applied to the face, neck, arms or legs - it is ideal for all skin types. The mask also helps improve blood circulation and provides the skin with adequate nutrition, restoring the protective functions of the integument, which prevent the appearance of acne and unwanted flaking.
