Green Clays
Green Clays are known for their purifying and detoxifying properties. They contain a higher level of minerals than white clay making them highly absorbent and effective for removing toxins and impurities from the skin. Green clays are perfect for oily or acne-prone skin as they will remove dirt and excess sebum from the skin leaving it mattified and balanced. They are also great for tightening the pores, toning the skin, exfoliating dead skin cells and reducing inflammation in acne.

Red Clays
If you suffer from sensitivity, irritation or redness with your skin then red clays are the best option for you due to their balancing, toning and purifying properties. Red clay gets its colour from a high concentration of iron oxide and it is naturally rich in trace elements which work to stimulate microcirculation in the blood vessels and rejuvenate the skin. It is great if your complexion needs an extra brightening boost and can improve skin elasticity. It can also be used in the hair to absorb excess oil and leave your hair feeling silky and shiny.
White Clays
White clays are rich in mineral salts and contain kaolin, both of which help to repair skin and hair. It is one of the gentlest types of clay for the skin making it the most suitable for sensitive or mature skin.

White clay can also be used as a hydrating hair mask.

Bentonite Clays
Bentonite clays are usually grey or cream in colour and are rich in nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, copper and iron.
