There's something about the unpretentiousness of clays and their humble origin from the earth's crust
that makes it fascinating to learn how incredibly beneficial they can be for our skin.
What is clay?
It's a soft, finely-grained, mineral-rich material formed over long periods of time, as a result of the natural weathering of rocks. It normally combines several types of silicates (of aluminium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium etc.), along with traces of quartz, metal oxides and organic matter. All of these minerals are beneficial for our skin.
