Great info, Adina! I haven't tried kaolin clay in soap, but it sounds nice as well as beneficial. I have oily skin and I've used kaolin clay masks, which helps. I should give it a try in soap, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny! I will try to post some pictures of the kaolin clay soap that I made so you can get a visual. It doesn't look like anything special but the benefits are super special and amazing. I will try the mask based on my research it is suppose to be a much more gentle mask than to that of a bentonite and sea clay mask, which I have tried both but would not recommend it for everyday use, more like 2-3 times a week. However, kaolin is more gentle and just as beneficial.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading my blog Jenny.
