The Most Popular Clays: #3 Fullers Earth Clay

If your skin is oily or blemished, you will benefit greatly from Fullers Earth Clay.

Many say that Fullers Earth clay, also know as Multani Mitti Clay or Indian Fuller Earth Clay, is the best clay for oily skin and of course, they’re right.  In addition to sucking up excess oil, it effectively absorbs the impurities in your skin and excels at deep cleaning oily, acne-prone skin (NOTE:  If your skin is sensitive or dry please use French Green Clay). 

A series on clays

Clay has been used around the world for centuries by indigenous people as an important medicinal and cosmetic tool. Recently, medical research has emerged which supports the efficacy of clay, and it is now becoming increasingly popular as a rediscovered treatment for many different health and skincare conditions. Externally, clays are used to absorb excess oil, dirt, and toxins from the skin while simultaneously exfoliating and improving skin circulation. Internally it has some wonderful uses too.

We will be starting the new year and our new blog off with a series dedicated to our most favorite skin care ingredient: Clay!
