Bentonite clay has many important benefits for the skin, and is great for clay masks. When applied to the skin, bentonite clay works as a magnet to remove toxins from the body. It is a natural forming clay that is made up of negative ions. The toxins and heavy metals in the skin are made up of positive ions. Bentonite clay is safe and effective for all skin types. It has numerous benefits, including minimizing fine lines and wrinkles and evening out the skin tone.

Here are five additional important reasons to use bentonite clay:

1. Unclogs and shrinks pores

Use a bentonite mask twice a week to help unclog and minimize pores. Smaller pores help keep the face clean and this also reduces the appearance of blemishes.

2. Draws out toxins from the skin

As mentioned above, when bentonite clay is applied to the skin, it acts as a magnet to pull toxins and impurities out of the skin. It leaves behind healing minerals for the body to use. The clay also pulls hydrogen from the cells, which helps circulation and overall skin tone and health.

3. Controls oil production

Oily skin can cause all kinds of problems. Excessive oil can cause bacteria to form. This will lead to the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. Bentonite clay will help control oil production. It can also be used as a spot repair for blemishes.

4. Exfoliates

Exfoliation has so many important benefits. It removes dead skin cells, helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles, and removes dirt and oil from the pores. This can help prevent acne as well.

5. Treats eczema and psoriasis

These skin conditions are most likely caused by fungal infections. Bentonite clay can attract and absorb the fungus from the skin. This will help the skin to begin the healing process.
