Frequently asked questions about kaolin
What's the difference between kaolin and green clay?
Kaolin (white clay) is the gentlest, ideal for sensitive and dry skin. Green clay is more absorbent and remineralizing, better suited for oily skin.
How often should it be used?
Once a week as a mask is enough for most skin types. Its gentleness allows for regular use without risk of drying out.
Is kaolin suitable for dry skin?
Yes, it is the best-tolerated clay for dry and sensitive skin — provided you don't let it dry completely and rehydrate afterwards.
What should I mix it with?
Lukewarm water, floral water, or a drop of oil for dry skin. Avoid overly stripping mixtures.
