So what else can you do with Kaolin cosmetic clays, apart from face masks ? A lot: baths, body masks, poultices, detox...
There are 5 kinds of Kaolin clays and each has different properties. Some re-mineralise, others draw out impurities, or soothes & calm. Read *
this post* and choose the right one for you.
Oh, and Kaolin is not a brand name, it´s the name for the type of clay.
Baths:This is a gentle and effective was to detox and cleanse the whole body. Especially recommended for skin irritations, breakouts, oiliness.
Instructions: Add a few tablespoons of clays to the bath water, and mix well. Soak and enjoy !
Body Packs: Detox and rejuvenate the whole body. Especially good for pimply butts, oily backs, and legs irritated by waxing / shaving.
Instructions: Make a paste with water, apply a thick layer. Keep on for 10-15 minutes, spritzing with water so that it doesn´t dry out. Read the
Kaolin Clay face mask page for more info.
Minor First Aid: Since clays draw out impurities, they are great for burns, stinks or rashes. Use only the gentler clays. Make sure you have good quality clay, and mix it only with clean water !
Poultice: Apply thick paste on the affected area, and put a bandage over it. Leave on for up to 2 hours, moistening it periodically so that it doesn´t dry out. Detailed infos
here.Taken internally:I´ve seen the Indians in Peru and Bolivia use green clay in their diets. At that time & didn´t have the sense to ask how do they eat it, though I did have a taste.
Since then, I´ve learned it´s good for detox, (heavy metals, pesticides, PBA, PBCS, toxic microbes), digestive problems (diarrhoea, gas, food poisoning, acid reflux, etc), as well as colds & flu.
A clay detox is something you start gradually, and you don´t end it abruptly either. More info on how to detox with clay
