Red clay is one of my recent discoveries. I came across the name numerous times while surfing the Internet, and only read great reviews. I decided to make a purchase a few months back, and finally put this clay to use.
Most of you know that I have tried several clays, and have been satisfied with each one. I try to keep them on hand and tend to use them more for my hair than for my face or body. My favorite clays are Indian clay and Kaolin clay. Simply add water, aloe vera juice, and/or apple cider vinegar, and you've created an instant paste. The amount of liquid used will of course be based on what you're creating; facial, hair conditioner, foot application, etc.
Red clay can also be used on the body, head to toe. It has been used for centuries- across the world. Tackle blemishes or create cleaner and clearer skin. Alleviate acne, discoloration and create youthful skin. If you are suffering from any of the mentioned issues, consider red clay as a natural, affordable remedy.
I most recently applied the clay to my hair for a cleanser/conditioner. My hair was softer and easier to comb through than normal, but I found that Bentonite (Indian) clay and kaolin gave me better results. In the future, I plan to only use red clay for skin concerns.
