Are you wondering which type to use for blemish prone and oily skin? Blue clay is ideal. But that's not all - this versatile cosmetic will also help people struggling with eczema or psoriasis. Find out how it's possible!
The beneficial properties of clays have been known to mankind for thousands of years. We use them for a variety of purposes - for making ceramics, for construction, for natural therapy, for skin and hair care. Properly selected clay can work wonders, restoring the beautiful look of the skin, and at the same time helping to get rid of acne and other dermatological diseases.
Despite their rocky origin and similar chemical composition, clays have different properties. Therefore, separate types are recommended for different skin types. What makes the blue version different from other clays, and for which skin problems is it best suited?
Blue clay - origin and characteristics of the product
Like other clays, blue is mined from the bowels of the earth or from the bottom of reservoirs. Depending on this, individual products may differ slightly in their chemical composition - the first options are rich in volcanic ash, and the second are high in sodium. They all contain a veritable cocktail of elements including silica, aluminum, magnet, calcium, sodium, potassium and iron.
There are French, Russian and Ukrainian products on the market. Blue clay from the Valdai Upland and the Bakhchisarai region is very famous. This valuable resource is also mined in Siberia. For this reason, a large percentage of products with the addition of this clay in Poland are distributed by Russian cosmetic brands such as Phytocosmetics.

How to use blue clay for face?
If you chose the powder form, simply mix it with water in such proportions that you get a thick paste. Instead of water, it is also possible to use an activator available from, for example, Nacomi. It is a solution enriched with hyaluronic acid, panthenol and aloe extract, which improves the absorption of the clay mask and at the same time soothes irritations.
The prepared clay should be applied to the face and left for 10-15 minutes. Remember that the face must be thoroughly cleansed. It is best to wash your face with a cleansing gel just before applying the mask to open the pores and allow the active ingredients to penetrate even deeper.
After the specified time, it is enough to wash off the clay. Blue clay is one of the few raw materials that has virtually no effect on the natural reaction of the skin or its lipid cover. However, it is worth wiping your face with a tonic or hydrosol, which will balance the pH.
If you don't like making your own beauty solutions, you can also use Cafe Mini's ready-made blue clay mask.
How to use blue body clay?
Blue clay is also often used in body care. It is especially popular among people struggling with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or atopy. It is also used for general smoothing of the skin, as well as for general relaxation of the body and relieving pain of various origins. Its effects will be appreciated, for example, by people suffering from rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. On the face can be applied in the same way by mixing the powder with water. In this case, it is worth leaving the paste on the skin for a little longer than 15 minutes. 20-25 minutes is the ideal time. Blue clay is also a great addition to a bath.
