Bentonite clay is the a gift which comes in a form that most would despise - clay. Dust to dust - so the wise book says and this is one gift that the earth is giving to us in it's natural form. Bentonite clay in it's organic form deeply cleanses your skin, flushes toxins, and removes dirt – in addition to the many benefits it can give your skin and your hair. Other researchers recommend it for intake as well but since we're all about skincare I wont go into that

1. Heals Acne

Acne is caused by excess oil secretion on the skin surface, which attracts and breeds acne-causing bacteria. This results in breakouts and leaves scars behind. Bentonite clay absorbs excess sebum from the skin’s topmost layer, thereby preventing acne. Using this a few times a month is a great way to control acne.

2. Unclogs Skin Pores
 
The negatively charged ions in the clay, as we saw, attract dust, grime, oil, and even unclog the pores. This way, the clay also prevents blemishes and blackheads. It opens and clears pores to avoid further breakouts.

3. Draws Out Toxins From Skin

We already saw how bentonite clay draws out toxins in the skin through topical application. Interestingly, one can achieve similar results by ingesting the clay. It helps flush toxins out of your body, and this also improves your skin health.

4. Naturally Exfoliates Skin
 
Exfoliation is something you cannot afford to miss. Your everyday scrubs might not cut it – you also need something more effective, at least a few times a month. Bentonite clay acts as an abrasive that scrapes off the dead and dying cells from the top layer of your skin, thereby clearing it up.

5. Softens Skin
 
The clay smoothens out bumps, unclogs pores, and removes blackheads. The result? Softer skin!

After using the clay, rinse your face and moisturize. Run your hands over your face – you will notice a remarkable difference.

6. Brightens Skin

Using bentonite clay is an inexpensive way to get results no less than that of a facial. Since all things affecting your skin health are cleared, you see visibly brighter looking skin.

7. Reduces The Appearance Of Scars

If acne is one problem, the scars left behind after treating acne are another. Bentonite clay not only treats pimples but also clears the residue that may cause scars. Using this consistently gives you great results.

8. Heals And Regenerates Skin Tissues

Bentonite clay heals damaged skin tissues and assists the regeneration of new skin cells. This way, it helps remove wrinkles and fine lines by tightening the skin.

9. Evens Skin Tone
 
A lot of factors can cause skin discoloration – and when not addressed on time, this can lead to pigmented and uneven skin tone. Since bentonite clay clears up your pores, reduces the appearance of scars, and exfoliates your skin, it can work wonders in evening out your skin tone.

10. Tones And Tightens The Skin
 
Thanks to its exfoliating properties, bentonite clay removes the stubborn whiteheads and blackheads. It retains moisture and removes excess oil, leaving your skin feeling firmer than usual. If you have dry skin, follow it up with a moisturizing lotion.

11. Reduces Blemishes

Blemishes are another issue most people with acne struggle with. Even if the acne and inflammation decrease, the blemishes that are left behind are painful to work with. Bentonite clay helps reduce the appearance of these stubborn marks.

12. Prevents Blackheads


The clay removes dead skin cells and clears up pores, which can otherwise lead to blackheads. It cleans up existing blackheads and also prevents the appearance of fresh ones.
