What is Pink Clay?
Pink Clay is a very mild combination of Red and White Clays. Rich in minerals including Silica, Pink Clay masks help to restore and replenish skin with moisture, draw out impurities and lightly exfoliate the complexion with its slightly grainy texture. Perfect for dry and sensitive skin types, super gentle Australian Pink Clay can deep cleanse without drying - even sensitive skin!
Pink Clay benefits
Pink Clay does wonders for almost all skin types - it’s no wonder why it’s one of our favourite natural face masks! Gentle on sensitive skin, Pink Clay can help to reduce irritation and inflammation from skin concerns such as acne by soothing and balancing skin and promoting healthy cell renewal. With its smooth exfoliating action, Pink Clay can also help to minimise blackheads, hormonal breakouts and congestion, making it perfect for those with aggravated or acne prone skin. Due to its purifying properties, Pink Clay is often used in face masks, treatments and soaps to help cleanse and refresh dull, tired and dry skin.
