When to prioritize a warm bath mixed with clay
For days when you feel cold
We recommend a clay bath to warm you up from the inside out when you feel cold from the winter season and the chill of air conditioners in summer. When your body is cold, the blood circulation slows down impacting your body, and leading to a variety of health problems.
For daily UV protection and after-sun care
Clay, which contains a wealth of natural minerals essential for conditioning the skin, is perfect for daily UV care. We recommend taking a comfortable soak in a warm clay bath to protect the skin from extensive sun exposure.
To alleviate sunburned skin, consider a clay bath and clay pack for relief. These remedies can ease the painful symptoms of a sunburn, such as stinging and redness.
For recovery after sports activity
Athletes and active people often experience muscle soreness due to physically demanding activities. For the body to recover faster, try a warm clay bath to ease tensions and build-ups and relaxing your entire body.
For a job that requires constant standing
After a long day at work that requires you to stand a lot, you will be happy return home and soaking your whole body in a nice and warm bath containing clay — your body temperature will increase and the clay will help to induce a pleasant sweat, leaving you with a lighter feel and invigorated for a good night sleep.
For tired feeds try a relaxing foot bath with clay
A foot bath will not only warm your feets but also gently warm your entire body. Should you have tired feets or foot problems, a clay foot bath could be a quick retreat to make your day better — and feeling ready to conquer the world.
You can easily create a foot bath anywhere by mixing warm water and clay in a bowl that fits your feet — try it, for example when your feets are sore, body is cold, or when you have an unpleasant odor to remove.
For pregnancy carrying stress affecting body & mind
This is a time when relaxation of the mind and body is most important.
The sense of security you get from being gently wrapped in clay bathwater is why it's so popular among pregnant women. Heating from the core of the body can also ease feelings of unrest and anxiety.
The clay also absorbs unnecessary substances, helping to keep the body clean and balanced.
Note for pregnancy and hot water: Regardless of the clay properties, it is said that pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy should avoid long periods in hot baths. As a rule of thumb, we therefore recommend relaxing slowly in lukewarm water.
For your beloved furry friend
You can wash your dog's body with the leftover water from the clay bath.
The negatively charged clay absorbs dirt and waste products that cause positively charged odors, leaving them feeling refreshed.
Dogs live close to the ground, so environmental pollutants and other unwanted substances tend to stick to their bodies, so wash them thoroughly. Their fur will become fluffy and soft.
Please inspect water temperature for dogs: Avoid hot water in a dog-bath as it will prevent the "little-ones" from regulating their body temperature — instead, wait a bit for the water to become lukewarm — not cold, but colder than the bath you have enjoyed.
Enhance your clay bath experience with aromatherapy
Take your clay bath to the next level by adding a few drops of essential oils like lavender, rose, or eucalyptus. The soothing scents will transport you to a place of tranquility and relaxation, turning your bath into a sensory oasis.
So, next time you feel the need to unwind and pamper yourself, consider indulging in the magnetism of a clay bath experience. Let the rich minerals and soothing scents envelop you in a cocoon of luxury, where every moment is a masterpiece waiting to be revealed.
2. Purify your skin with a clay face/body mask
Indulge in a luxurious spa day at home by treating yourself to a clay face mask. The natural properties of clay help to purify and rejuvenate the skin, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Recommended applications for a clay mask
In essence, a homemade clay mask can be applied anytime you want to do a little extra for your skin and yourself. We recommend setting aside some time where you are not in a hurry. For example in the evening and in combination with your bath time for a spa sensation.
For a wedding preparation
It can be used for the face, décolleté, back, or for sudden skin changes anywhere on your skin. The natural clay mixed in the bath and applied as a purifying mask, could be good for your preparation for your big day looking and feeling your best — as well as releasing unwanted stress.
