Black clay is a very simple and effective way to combat cellulite and acne on the face. Its advantage is its accessibility and ease of use. How does this wonderful tool affect the skin? The effect is primarily due to the ability to draw toxins and body fat from the surface of the skin. And if you make the mask not on water, but on decoctions of herbs or with the addition of various oils, the effect is greatly enhanced.
Unfortunately, our sedentary lifestyle is increasingly leading to unpleasant consequences in the form of an orange peel, which greatly spoils the appearance. Now this problem has already touched quite young girls. This is facilitated by tight clothing, high heels, and malnutrition. All these factors lead to a slowdown in blood circulation. The skin is not adequately supplied with nutrients and oxygen, which causes stagnation in problem areas and the accumulation of unnecessary deposits.
This can and should be fought - the sooner the better. Even at a fairly young age with a visible absence of pronounced signs of cellulite, preventive measures will not be redundant. For preventive purposes, black clay in the form of masks and wraps can be used no more than once a week, even in plain water.
The use of these wraps and masks is also in the fact that they supply the skin with useful minerals, which are many in black clay: strontium, magnesium, iron, potassium and many others. Micronutrients, getting into the skin, accelerate the metabolic processes occurring in it, which smoothes wrinkles and cleanses the skin of acne and cellulite deposits.
Black clay for acne is usually made on the basis of some anti-inflammatory infusion. For example, daisies. It makes no sense to indicate the exact proportions - the main thing is that the finished mass has the consistency of thick sour cream. In non-metallic dishes, you need to pour powder (the amount over time will be determined by practice depending on the size of the skin area being treated) and diluted with water or infusion of herbs.
You can give some general recommendations on how to most effectively apply such masks. Ideally, you need to cleanse the skin and steam it well. Then apply black clay, already diluted. It is advisable to apply it in a thick layer so that it does not dry out longer. Or top with cellophane with cut out holes for the nose and eyes. Or wet cotton cloth with the same holes.
When fighting with comedones (black dots) on the face , add either lemon juice, egg white (for oily skin), or milk (for dry) to the solution. Here the recommendations are standard, as for ordinary masks. You need to keep such a mask on your face for no more than 5-7 minutes. Those who do such procedures for the first time should check if there is an allergy (this is rare, but happens) to one or another component.
Then the mask is washed off with warm water with gentle massaging movements. The face is soaked and a nourishing cream is applied to the skin. If it’s very difficult with time, you can apply a mask to unprepared skin. The benefits will be all the same, although not so quickly noticeable.
Black clay from cellulite is used in a similar way, with the only difference being that citrus oils are added to the finished mass to more efficiently absorb the orange peel.
It has long been known and scientifically proven that black clay in the best way increases blood microcirculation, at the same time tones and soothes the skin, rejuvenating, cleansing and nourishing them. It is enough to do the procedure a couple of times a week, and after the first wraps the effect will become very noticeable. For one procedure, it is enough to devote about 30 minutes to yourself at a time, and the results will delight every day.
