Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay [sodium bentonite] is an absorbent clay and has an incredible ability to absorb excess oil. Its deep cleansing qualities make it ideal for skin prone to pimples.

Bentonite clay expands when wet, absorbing several times its dry mass in water. More suited to oily skin, it can be used in both hair & face masks. Bentonite clay soothes eczema and psoriasis immediately and works deep within the skin to draw out toxins and impurities. For severe cases, the clay should remain moist on the skin for several hours. Not only will it absorb the inflammation and damaged skin cells, the clay will assist your body in building new tissue. For  painful skin conditions is to immerse yourself in a warm bath filled with several cups of bentonite clay and soak for 20-30 minutes. For a pore defining face mask, try adding rosewater amla and neem powders.
