Skincare – Bentonite Clay

Skincare – Bentonite Clay

Hey Earth’s Enrichers 

Now, clay is more than pottery making material. It’s a skin care regiment that helps create healthy, blemish-free skin. We bet you all didn’t know that, did you? Check it out–that stuff people put on their faces that makes them look like ghosts, bentonite clay, is an ingredient in some of those masks. The very clay we use in our Calming Spa Seaweed bar soaps.

Bentonite clay can appear as an off-white, powdery substance when it is alone. Its skin care purposes are to remove blemishes, wrinkles, lines, detoxify skin, treat itchy skin, and leave your body feeling refreshed. It also can help relieve skin infections like eczema. Bentonite clay is definitely worth giving a try.

It may not be the most exciting looking skin care ingredient but it is one of the most helpful. Imagine that calcium rich substance working its magic on your skin, returning it back to its smooth, milky texture one step at a time. Or if you’re looking to relieve your body of all its toxins, simply add a little bentonite clay in that warm bath and you’ve got yourself an instant detoxifying brew.

Oh, we almost forgot! Bentonite clay is actually good for your hair too. It can moisturize your hair while cleaning and removing any build up. It can also encourage hair growth and prevent hair loss leaving your hair silky and smooth. That’s a game changer for any clay—we see you googling bentonite clay and we approve!

The EE 411: Why we use it?

So, we have incorporated some bentonite clay into our Calming Spa Seaweed body bars, keeping your silky smooth skin in mind, helping to protect it from blemishes, spots, wrinkles and skin irritations. Also incorporated in calming spa seaweed is rosemary mint and seaweed, which both hold super great benefits for your skin.

Organic Skin Care: Moisturizing

 

Organic Skin Care - MoisturizingHey Earth’s Enrichers!

So far we have touched on all the main skincare steps from cleansing to exfoliating.  Now, we’ve arrived at one of the last but most important steps to skincare maintenance, and that is moisturizing. Moisturizing should occur all throughout your skincare process.  In other words, when picking all of your selected skin products, make sure that they have some moisturizing properties them. That way when you bathe and exfoliate you are not stripping or drying out your skin.   

Moisturizing is one of the most essential steps in skincare because it keeps your skin from dehydrating and becoming easily damaged. It protects your skin and prevents it from being split, cut, or torn.  Take for example the feeling of putting on silk right out of the dryer when it is full of static.  Your clothes and sheets will irritate your skin if it’s dry.  It will feel as if pieces of your skin are getting caught and pulled by the materials. Your skin could end up feeling drier and irritated. This is not a good feeling.

In contrast, moisturizing your skin regularly, let’s say once a day or every time you wash your hands, will keep your skin hydrated and conditioned. Keeping your skin hydrated makes the healing process easier for your skin. Also, it increases the soft, smooth feeling of your skin (Isn’t that the best compliment?).  It also keeps your skin looking fresh and younger. When you neglect to moisturize your skin, wrinkles, blemishes, and other signs of aging tend to be more prevalent. 

The best time to moisturize is right out of the shower (you know after exfoliating). This way it locks in the hydration and effectively replenishes your skin.  Also, routinely moisturizing can help with some types of dry skin conditions.  So, make sure that you moisturize frequently and that you chose the right moisturizer for your skin.

When it comes to your face, moisturizing is still important after cleansing. Your skin can become flaky and just as irritated if not cleansed then moisturized properly. Still, keep in mind that you must look for products that are right for your skin type. Also, look for facial moisturizers that are oil-free so you don’t clog your pores.

The EE 411:

There is a difference between lotion moisturizers and creams. Lotions are much lighter and can contain less oil than creams.  Creams on the other hand are a lot thicker and contain more oil.

In choosing which to use for your skin, the key determinant should be your skin type. If your skin is naturally oily and doesn’t always need to be moisturized, it is better to use lotions than creams.  However, if your skin is not naturally oily and you have cases of extreme dryness, you should be more inclined to use creams.

Remember, you can always overdo it. Overdoing moisturizers could lead to clogged pores. To avoid this, first find out what your skin type is and chose a lotion or cream that best suits you.
