In this guide you can read on how to enjoy CLAYD C POWDER mixed in a warm bath and/or as a mask for your skin. Should you have any questions or want to know more about CLAYD, we have collected a series of guides and efforts leaving a sensation of happiness.
Enjoy a warm bath mixed with natural clay: 5 Steps for a new bathing experience
STEP 1: Mix the clay powder into a warm bath
For each bath, add about 30g (1 x 30g bag or 3 heaping spoonfuls of the wooden spoon included with the CLAYD CANISTER SET) of clay into the bath and mix it gently around by hand.
STEP 2: Relax in the bath for more than 20 minutes
Slowly immerse yourself in the bath and find a temperature that feels comfortable for that day. There is no right or wrong temperature — most importantly, is that you feel relaxed.
STEP 3: Soak your whole body (optional)
Why not try to soak the entire body including your face, ears, and hair? The clay minerals won't harm your mouth or eyes, but keep them closed when you submerge*
*Clay particles are very fine and can make your hair stiff if left on it — so be sure to rinse it off thoroughly after the bath with shampoo. Also, if you have just colored your hair or dyed it with natural henna, please note that some of the color may fade.
STEP 4: Check the color of the bath after bathing
If clay absorbs heavy metals from the body, expect the water to turn darker in color — it's a positive sign of waste removal. *1+2
STEP 5: Shower rinse — there is no need to wash with body soap after bathing
The clay absorbs waste and dirt, so simply rinse it off with water in the shower at the end to achieve an amazingly smooth and moisturized body. *1+3
How to make a purifying clay pack and application for beautiful skin
You can easily make a clay skin pack by simply mixing water and clay powder — place it in the refrigerator and use multiple times. It works much alike a mud mask, but a skin pack can be used on targeted areas of the body and is typically applied in thicker layers working on the skin for a powerful effect.
★ It will be ready in about 2 days (48 hours)*
Things to prepare CLAYD C POWDER skin pack:
- 30g CLAYD C POWDER (1 x 30g bag / 3 heaping spoonfuls of the wooden spoon that comes with the CANISTER SET)
- 60cc water
- A glass container with lid
- Wooden spoon
Step by step guide:
- Mix 30g C POWDER and 60cl water in a sealable glass container
- Stir about 10 times with a wooden spoon and store the container in the refrigerator (it's ok to leave some clumps in there for now)
- Stir about 5 more times after 24 hours
・If it's too soft → add more clay
・If it's too hard → add more water - Check back after another 24 hours — if it looks and feels like Crème Brûlée, it's done and ready to be applied on the skin!
Important notice when making a clay mud mask
- It can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks.
- Please be sure to use a glass or enamel container. If the clay comes into contact with plastic products, plastic bags, rubber, etc., it will absorb petroleum components, causing the clay pack to smell of petroleum and lose its effectiveness.
- Avoid metal spoons. Clay will absorb heavy metals, causing the pack to discolor and lose its effectiveness.
- Due to various natural factors, the pack may end up being too liquid or hard. Adjust the thickness by adding more water or clay.
How to apply clay mud pack
Apply the prepared clay mud paste to face or body in a layer thickness about 3-5mm.
Leave on for 10-15 minutes, and be sure to rinse before it dries completely out.
Create your own spa feeling at home by combing a warm CLAYD bath while leaving a purifying clay mud mask on your face.
Please also consider:
- If you want to apply a thin layer or for intensive care for a longer time, we recommend using a spray bottle to moisten the surface once in a while.
- The drying speed varies depending on the thickness of the pack, skin temperature, humidity, etc.
- Can also be used on lips — please gentle try adding a small amount if you are concerned about dullness *4
- The clay used by CLAYD is so powerful that it is used in the spas and beauty salons of first-class hotels.
- It is also recommended for pinpoint maintenance.
- CLAYD C POWDER originates from nature, and the texture may vary slightly depending on the natural layer it is collected from (the type, methods, and ingredients of the clay are the same.) In rare cases, the clay mixture may remain separated and not become a paste — even after 48 hours. In that case, we recommend using it as its first mentioned intended purpose — as a bath additive.
*1 Due to physical adsorption based on the properties of the clay
*2 The phenomenon varies depending on the usage environment, body individuality etc.
*3 May vary depending on individual usage environment, etc.
*4 Caused by dirt and dead skin cells
