Fight Acne, Clogged Pores, Irritations and Oiliness with Kaolin

Home   The Journal   Fight Acne, Clogged Pores, Irritations and Oiliness with Kaolin

July 27, 2021

First, let us get the fact straight. Summer skin in reality isn’t that much oilier than usual. The main reason the skin looks oilier and makeup seems to melt off faster is actually more likely due to sweat. To maintain temperature when the weather is warm and humid, our bodies increase sweat production that cools the skin by evaporation of sweat, which is mostly composed of water. Now, because sweat and oil don’t mix well, it will give the appearance of little droplets on the skin, making you think you are oilier than usual, when you really aren’t.

Oil production will, however, increase when you use harsh cleansers then follow up with oil-free products that strip the skin of its natural hydration. In layman terms, while mattifying products will give you instant effect, it will only cause more oil production in the long-term, resulting in a vicious circle.

Instead, choose to incorporate products containing the multi-purpose kaolin clay in your routine.


____________________________________


What is Kaolin?

Unlike some clays out there that can dry out the skin and result in sensitivity and increased oil production, kaolin clay is considered to be the most gentle clay. Not only is kaolin clay high in silica dioxide from kaolinite, an excellent absorbing agent, it is also neutral in pH, and has moisturising, detoxing, soothing, anti-acne and anti-aging properties, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, inflamed, oily, and dry skin, as well as clogged pores.


____________________________________


Skin Benefits of Kaolin ① Absorbs Excess Oil

Kaolin clay absorbs extra oil from the skin’s surface, thereby keeping the pores unclogged. What’s exceptional about kaolin clay, say compared to bentonite clay, is that it does not strip the skin of its natural oils, the skin thus stays moisturized, and oil production is not stimulated. Over time, it so helps to balance the skin’s overall oil production.

With activated charcoal, kaolin clay and plant oils, the lightweight triple-phase botanical formula cleanses and detoxes while nourishing the skin. Its gel-to-oil-to-milk formula perfectly removes makeup, excess oil, daily grime and pollutants without drying out the skin. Whilst, its hydrating, moisturizing and antioxidants properties like Sunflower Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil and Orange Fruit Hydrosol supports the skin’s hydration, improves water retention, replenishes key lipids and fights free radicals.

Skin Benefits of Kaolin ② Reduces Acne & Blackheads, Tighten Pores

It is hard to fight the urge to squeeze pimples and blackheads, we know. The act however, will easily break the skin, drive bacteria into other location, and worse, leave the skin with scars and even more pimples and blackheads. Thanks to its high adsorption and absorption capacities, as well as extremely fine particle size, kaolin clay can cling to impurities, dirt, pollution, grime, and bacteria in the pores and remove them from the skin. The pores are thus unclogged without stripping or causing trauma to the skin.

Skin Benefits of Kaolin ③ Soothes Irritations

Kaolin clay has mild healing, soothing and inflammation-fighting properties. In addition, studies have suggested that kaolin clay could promote blood circulation beneath the skin. Bringing more blood flow to the skin could help to heal wounds faster and relieve some symptoms of sensitive skin. In fact, a study has shown that clay packs significantly reduce tissue damage associated with swelling. It is therefore an excellent choice in calming irritations and redness.

Skin Benefits of Kaolin ④ Increases Collagen Production

A little known fact. Thanks to its extensive profile of minerals and antioxidants, kaolin clay, when used over time, has been shown to increase collagen synthesis, which could decrease wrinkles and increase skin firmness.

Skin Benefits of Kaolin ⑤ Evens Out Skin Tone

Studies have demonstrated that kaolin clay increases circulation and stimulates skin cells renewal. Thus with regular use, it helps evens out skin tone and brightens dull skin.
