A Mud baths date back to ancient Egypt, when Cleopatra frequently added Dead Sea mud to her skin treatments. A Clay particles contain an electrical charge that, when applied to the skin, helps absorb heavy and radioactive metals and free radicals. A Clay comes in a variety of colors, from orange-red to brown, gray and white. Mud usually only appears in shades of brown, gray or white.
When mud and clay are applied to the skin and left to dry, they have an inherent ability to draw out toxins, excessive oils and potentially harmful bacteria. Mud and clay also tend to have naturally high mineral and nutrient contents, which can encourage healing, alleviate inflammation and offer protection. For instance, Dead Sea mud has high concentrations of magnesium, calcium and potassium, which- among other benefits-can help reduce the appearance of cellulite.
The most common varieties of clay found in skincare treatments are bentonite clay, which absorbs excess sebum; kaolin clay, which boosts circulation to brighten the skin; and French green clay for exfoliation and tightening pores. Almost every skin type can benefit from these effects, as both mud and clay refine and contract pores for overall smoothness. Clients with sensitive skin, in particular, often see reduced redness and swelling, resulting in a calmer complexion.
