Kaolin Clay Benefits

 Kaolin clay is considered to be one of the gentlest facial clays. It has kaolinite, a mineral that consists of layered silicate. While the mineral is found all over the world, it has been mined at the Kao-ling mountain (China) since ages.

Kaolin clay is suitable for almost all types of skin, especially sensitive skin. It mostly comes in white colour, but can also be pink, green or brown. Experts suggest that whiter the colour of Kaolin clay, the better its quality is.


Benefits of Kaolin Clay :

1. Absorbs Extra Oil

Kaolin clay absorbs extra oil from your skin’s surface, thereby keeping your pores unclogged. It only controls the excess sebum production on your skin surface and does not affect its natural oil level.

2. Natural Cleanser

Kaolin clay has cleansing properties that can remove dirt and impurities from your skin pores that lead to acne breakouts. It is gentle to use on your skin, and cleans your skin without making it dry and dull.

3. Exfoliator

Kaolin clay is an excellent exfoliator. It can remove even the tiniest quantities of dirt, pollutants and bacteria from your skin, keeping your acne problems at bay.

4. Soothes Your Skin

Kaolin clay has soothing qualities that can calm your irritated skin caused by insect bite or any skin rash. It has mild healing properties that help to soothe any type of irritation and redness on your skin.

5. Evens Out Your Skin Tone

This clay stimulates your skin cells and makes your skin tone even. If you use it regularly, you may see a noticeable change in your skin tone.

6. Natural Shampoo

Apart from skincare, you can also use kaolin clay as a natural shampoo to remove oil, dirt and other pollutants from your scalp. It also boosts the blood circulation to your scalp, resulting in strong hair follicles.
