FAQ

From wound care to detoxifying and everyday skin care, the earth minerals of clays and salts provide naturally occurring therapeutic tools.

What are the benefits of using salts like Pink Himalayan Salt in skincare?

Salts like Pink Himalayan Salt are rich in minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which help to detoxify and rejuvenate the skin. When added to baths, they can soothe tired muscles and promote relaxation. They also act as natural exfoliants, helping to remove dead skin cells and improve circulation. Pink Himalayan Salt is gentle enough to use in bath soaks and exfoliating scrubs, providing a spa-like experience at home.

What’s the difference between fine grain and small grain Pink Himalayan Salt?

The difference between fine grain and small grain Pink Himalayan Salt lies in the size of the salt crystals and their uses. Fine grain has smaller, smoother particles, ideal for delicate applications like facial scrubs, bath soaks, or gentle body exfoliation. It dissolves easily and provides a softer texture.

Small grain salt, with its larger, coarser crystals, is better suited for more intensive exfoliation, such as foot scrubs or areas like elbows and knees. It offers a deeper scrub for rougher skin.

Choose fine grain for gentler exfoliation and small grain for a more vigorous scrub.

What essential oils pair well with salts for exfoliation?

Essential oils like Vetiver, Lime, and Peppermint pair well with salts like Pink Himalayan Salt for exfoliation. Vetiver is soothing and calming, making it perfect for relaxation, while Lime and Peppermint provide an invigorating and refreshing sensation. Simply mix your essential oil of choice with Pink Himalayan Salt or another salt to create an exfoliating scrub that smooths and refreshes the skin.

Can I combine carrier oils with salts in bath blends?

Yes, combining carrier oils with salts in bath blends creates a luxurious experience. Carrier oils like Jojoba Oil or Sweet Almond Oil moisturize the skin while the salts work to detoxify and exfoliate. For a relaxing bath, try adding essential oils like Lavender or Roman Chamomile to the blend to enjoy the benefits of both essential oils and salts in one rejuvenating soak.

What types of clay are best for skincare masks?

Different types of clay offer unique benefits for skincare. Bentonite Clay is highly absorbent and works well for oily and acne-prone skin. Rhassoul Clay helps to reduce dryness and flakiness while improving skin clarity. French Green Clay is excellent for tightening pores and stimulating skin circulation. For sensitive skin, White Kaolin Clay is a gentle option that soothes irritation while detoxifying the skin.

What is the difference between French Green Clay and Bentonite Clay?

French Green Clay and Bentonite Clay both offer excellent detoxifying properties, but they have key differences. French Green Clay is more gentle and is ideal for tightening pores, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation. Bentonite Clay, on the other hand, is more absorbent and better suited for oily skin as it helps to draw out impurities and excess oil. Both clays can be used in DIY masks, but choose based on your skin type and specific needs.

Is White Kaolin Clay suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, White Kaolin Clay is one of the gentlest types of clay and is highly suitable for sensitive skin. It helps to detoxify without stripping the skin of its natural oils and provides a soothing effect, which makes it perfect for calming irritated or inflamed skin. White Kaolin Clay can be used in face masks and gentle exfoliating scrubs.

How do I use essential oils with clays for face masks?

To use essential oils with clays for face masks, start by mixing your clay(such as Bentonite Clay, French Green Clay, or Rhassoul Clay) with a small amount of water or a hydrosol. Then add a few drops of essential oil such as Lavender for calming, Geranium for balancing and addressing blemishes, or Frankincense for rejuvenating the skin. The clay acts as a natural detoxifier while the essential oil delivers targeted skin benefits.

Can Rhassoul Clay be used for hair care?

Yes, Rhassoul Clay is often used in hair care for its ability to cleanse the scalp, remove impurities, and reduce excess oil without stripping the hair of its natural moisture. It is especially beneficial for those with oily hair or scalp conditions. Simply mix Rhassoul Clay with water and apply it to the scalp and hair, allowing it to absorb toxins and impurities. Rinse thoroughly for softer, more manageable hair.

How can I combine clays and essential oils in DIY face masks?

You can combine clays like Bentonite Clay, French Green Clay, or Rhassoul Clay with essential oils to create customized DIY face masks. Start by mixing the clay with water, or hydrosols for a smooth texture, then add a few drops of essential oils based on your skin’s needs. For example, Lavender or German Chamomile are great for sensitive skin, while Tea Tree is beneficial for acne-prone skin. For more inspiration, check out our collection of DIY mask recipes.
