About the use of blue clay in cosmetics Ah, I have known for a long time. But where it comes from and what it is - I did not know. What is its composition and why does it have a positive effect on the skin? Is it recommended for everyone or, perhaps, does it have contraindications? Let's take a closer look at blue clay.
Blue clay
Blue clay is a sedimentary rock. Its age is more than 500 million years. It was formed at the bottom of the seas of the Cambrian period. The history of the discovery of the healing properties of clay takes us to Ancient Greece, where the militant Amazons used it for their war paint. And the girls were unaware that in this way they “cared for” the skin of their face and body. The condition and beauty of the skin amazed their opponents. Myth or not, humanity has learned beneficial features blue clay.
Chemical composition
The chemical composition of clay and its physical properties have long attracted the attention of ancient healers, and are widely used by physicians today. I must say that it would be nice for each of us to treat Mother Nature with great attention. Plants, minerals, water, etc. - everything is created in order to help a person survive and get rid of diseases. It’s easier for us to give money for an expensive product that can actually be made from what literally lies under our feet.
The healing activity of blue clay is due to its rich chemical composition. It also contains calcium. You can read about the properties of these elements on my blog.
The blue color of the clay is due to the cobalt and cadmium contained in it. In addition, it contains: aluminum, manganese, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, silver, copper, molybdenum, radium, etc.
Properties and application
It has an adsorbing and cleansing effect, which means it is useful for binding harmful substances and cleansing toxins.
The anti-inflammatory properties of clay allow it to be successfully used for the treatment of joint diseases, skin diseases, as well as inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and respiratory system.
Improves cell metabolism, blood circulation and tissue nutrition.
Blue clay is widely used in cosmetology. Creams and masks based on it are the favorite products of many women for skin and hair care. 
Blue clay treatment
joints
In my opinion medicinal properties clays are best suited for cosmetic purposes and the treatment of joint diseases.
For help with inflammatory diseases joints are good to do compresses or wraps. Soak the clay and knead well so that it is smooth without lumps. The consistency should be such that it is convenient to wrap around the joint. A layer of clay, heated to a temperature of about 40 degrees, is placed on gauze folded several times, the diseased joint is wrapped. From above they are wrapped with polyethylene and something warm and kept for 3-4 hours. Such compresses are done every other day for a week. The patient should feel better after these sessions. If necessary, the doctor can extend the procedure.
If you feel pain in small joints (fingers and toes), then you can do warm (40 degrees) baths with blue clay or rubbing. The procedure is best performed before going to bed, as after the bath, it is best to wear woolen gloves or socks, respectively, to preserve heat.
In sanatoriums, even clay baths can be prescribed. To prepare a clay bath at home, first dissolve a pound of clay in water, and then pour this solution into the prepared bath.
These procedures will help reduce inflammation and pain, improve blood circulation in tissues and joint mobility. However, these procedures have contraindications. They are not recommended:
- pregnant women
- people with liver and kidney disease
- suffering bronchial asthma and allergies
At temperatures above 60 degrees, the use of clay becomes useless, so do not overheat it.
It is best to conduct such courses in a sanatorium prescribed by a doctor. If you have already decided to heal a little at home, then buy clay in pharmacies.
For the preparation of masks and baths, use non-metallic utensils. And it is best to store clay in a ceramic container.
In case of poisoning
A solution of blue clay is also taken orally for gastrointestinal ailments, food poisoning, since it remarkably adsorbs harmful substances and pathogenic microflora.
To prepare a clay solution, a teaspoon of dry clay is stirred in a glass of water and drunk, preventing the particles from settling to the bottom.
For the treatment of skin diseases
At skin diseases solutions of blue clay can be used for lotions for abscesses, since clay draws out purulent contents well. Since clay also has a bactericidal property, its solution can be used for disinfection and speedy healing of open wound surfaces.
For teeth and mouth
A solution of blue clay can be used to rinse the mouth with inflammatory diseases, with problems with the gums. And the clay itself can be used for brushing your teeth.
For bronchitis, colds
For the treatment of cough, clay applications and rubbing with clay water are used. For application, the clay is well kneaded and a “pancake” is made with a thickness of 1 cm - 1.5 cm. Keep it on the chest for about 2 hours.
If you read articles on the Internet, then literally any substance or medicinal plant is advised to be used to treat oncology. Be prudent! Your desire to be cured of such a serious illness is understandable, but NEVER do not use traditional medicine to treat cancer on your own. After all, any plant or substance is active and how they will affect the tumor is not known. Therefore, do not use clay for applications with tumor and pre-tumor diseases, so as not to provoke deterioration. Only by agreement with the doctor.
Attention! If you are taking the clay solution internally, do not take it at the same time. medications because clay is an adsorbent. She will absorb your medicine and there will be no benefit from taking it.
Clay treatment is carried out in courses. Don't use it all the time. The course is about a week or two. Then - a break.
Application of blue clay for hair.
What benefits can clay bring to hair? I have always had a very wary attitude towards this issue. It seemed to me that then the hair would simply not be cleaned of it. AND personal experience I have no application. But my friend tried the blue clay mask at one of the resorts.
In order to prepare the mask, it is enough to dilute the clay in water to a consistency convenient for application. Clay is applied to the scalp and hair. It is better to wear a plastic cap on your head. Hold the mask for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water, and then wash your hair in the usual way.
The disadvantage of this procedure is that the hair, of course, is difficult to wash and becomes stiff. It's good that a friend had a pretty short haircut, I think with long hair there will be more problems. In any case, the use of conditioner after such a mask is simply necessary.
Such simple mask can be improved if you add olive oil, egg yolk, lemon juice to the cooked gruel, natural yogurt or kefir. These components will make the mask even more nutritious and the condition of the hair after such additives becomes better. For oily skin it is recommended to add yogurt, lemon juice, but vegetable oil(burdock, olive,) better fit dry hair.
blue clay for skin
Every woman knows about blue clay masks. And at least once I tried them on myself. You can make masks based on blue clay, which are produced in sufficient quantities by various cosmetic companies. Cleansing masks are also made in salons, but they can also be made at home. Purchase clay from a pharmacy, dissolve it in water or herbal infusion. Suitable infusions of chamomile, celandine, calendula, linden, lemon balm, lavender, rosemary, etc. To make the effect of the mask more noticeable, you can add olive oil, lemon juice or aloe juice.
Apply the mask to slightly damp skin for 15-20 minutes. Then wash off with warm water. Remember: clay is drying, and in its pure form it is better to use for oily skin. But in any case, do not overexpose the mask on your face! After washing, apply cream to the skin.
Blue clay masks have been used for many years and are still in demand. They cleanse and refresh the face. Now I am buying a ready-made mask made on the basis of clay, manufactured by Oriflame. It suits me and I'm not going to change it yet. I use it once a week. It is produced in a tube (which is very convenient!) in a small volume (but enough for 7 times), a pleasant texture and smell. It is better to apply the mask on cleansed dry skin and keep it for 10 minutes. The disadvantage of the product is that it leaves a bluish tint when washed off, and it scares many people. But I wash it off with a tonic and apply a cream.
Clay masks are useful for young people with problematic skin. After all, they disinfect, relieve inflammation and cleanse. Therefore, the use of such masks is quite acceptable for skin prone to acne and blackheads. By the way, in my youth, just such a mask was offered in beauty parlors. Now there are many other means. Perhaps they are more effective - I don’t know, because I came out of this age.
Watch the clay video. You will get acquainted not only with blue, but also with the properties of other clays. In my opinion, the information is very interesting.
Clay is one of the oldest cosmetic products in the history of mankind. It was already used in ancient Egypt (especially in embalming - the ancient Egyptians noted its powerful antibacterial effect). ABOUT healing properties ah clay wrote Avicenna. It was prescribed to Louis XIV as a remedy for overeating.
This is what blue (blue) clay in a package might look like.
Clay was used to disinfect water, sterilize milk, dipped vegetables in its solution so that they were better stored. However, clay received the greatest popularity, serving beauty. Both ancient and modern women actively use this priceless gift of nature to care for hair and skin.
clay for beauty
Clay is different: white, gray, red, black, green, pink. Each of these varieties has a special chemical composition and their characteristics. White, for example, is perfect for oily and mixed skin, yellow improves complexion, etc. Such a variety allows you to choose the best option to solve a specific cosmetic problem and get the maximum effect.
Cosmetologists consider blue clay to be one of the most valuable types of clay (it is also called blue). And all thanks to the unique composition and properties. It is rich in silica, phosphates, nitrogen, iron. It contains magnesium, calcium, silver, aluminum, cobalt, molybdenum. This "cocktail" of trace elements stimulates blood circulation in the clay application area. Substances in its composition slightly irritate the skin, due to which it upper layers blood microcirculation is activated, and tissues are more intensively renewed and saturated with oxygen.
Wrapping procedure with blue clay. Separately, we note that blue clay contains a large number of silicon. This trace element directly affects the condition of the skin, and its deficiency leads to early aging, wrinkles, skin aging. In addition, silicon deficiency is not in the best way affects the nails (they become brittle and weak) and hair (the hair begins to thin). Another important point- the participation of silicon in the process of assimilation of other substances, including calcium, fluorine, sodium, zinc, molybdenum. Without potassium, these and several dozen other trace elements simply will not be able to participate in metabolism, which means they will be useless for the body.
Application features
Blue clay is used in a variety of ways. It is taken orally, added to masks and wraps, used as a component for therapeutic baths. With the help of blue clay you can:
- Replenish the reserves of minerals and trace elements in the body,
- Improve skin condition: cleanse it, increase elasticity, smooth out fine wrinkles and reduce deeper ones, brighten dark spots, get rid of acne and foci of inflammation
- Cure hair and scalp: strengthen, enhance the shine of curls, get rid of dandruff,
- Smooth out,
- Strengthen nails, etc.
The beauty of this tool is that it has almost no contraindications. Naturally, if a person is not allergic to clay or any substances that make up it. However, when buying, you should still be careful: buy at a pharmacy (so you can be sure that the product was stored at right conditions) and check the expiration date.
Clay should not be used for thyroid diseases. If you suffer from varicose veins or hypertension, refrain from blue clay body wraps. Owners of dry skin are not recommended to use pure clay. It should be softened, for example with oils.
In order for clay products to bring maximum benefit, consider a few important points.
- Clay can only be diluted with warm water. Hot can not be used: from it, the remedy loses the lion's share of its usefulness.
- Natural clay - natural container. Do not store the product and cosmetics with it in metal containers. Try not to let the clay come into contact with the metal at all. Use a plastic, ceramic, or wooden spoon or spatula to stir.
- Blue clay cannot be reused. For each new procedure, a new portion of the cosmetic should be prepared.

We have tons of face and body creams in our cosmetic bags and on the shelves in the bathroom, and we wave our hand to the fact that the neck has been hurting for six months and requires a massage course. And there is no time, and no money, and no one sees this problem.
Meanwhile, many ladies, among the mountains of cosmetics, have my today's hero. And he will solve much more complex issues than a pimple that has jumped up accidentally on a tender cheek.
From this article you will learn:
What is useful blue clay, its properties and application
I have already talked about many types of clay rock. One is good for oily skin, the other for fading, the third copes well with cellulite. And I would call the blue one a universal healer. It is also called Cambrian if it is extracted from those layers of soil that were formed during the period with the same name. You can also find the definitions of "kil" or "keffekelite". In nature, it is found quite often and is mined in large quantities in Altai, and in the Crimea, and in France.
They say that our today's heroine works like a healer grandmother - she cleanses the aura, removes toxins and even cures cancer. Healers claim that Cambrian clay particles, like small tuning forks, make diseased cells vibrate at a frequency characteristic of healthy ones. I am not too strong in this area of knowledge, therefore I will not dispute or defend such a point of view. But I turned to traditional medicine, which also does not reject the treatment of this type of heavenly shade breed. 
Areas of use
Many resorts and sanatoriums with a purely medical focus offer mud baths, local impact treatments and other blue clay physiotherapy sessions. What do they treat?
- For the most part, they are aimed at the treatment of diseases of the joints, ligaments, muscles and spine;
- Without procedures to improve the quality of the skin, of course, is also not complete. Here and anti-cellulite wraps, and the treatment of dermatitis, seborrhea, psoriasis, eczema;
- Also, the use of keffekelite alleviates the condition in diseases of the respiratory tract (pneumonia, bronchitis, tuberculosis);
- Such a breed has found its place in the elimination of problems of the genitourinary system, especially in the female part (with fibroids, irregular menstruation, inflammatory processes in the uterus, polyps);
- The described breed is often used to solve problems of the circulatory system (with varicose veins, nosebleeds);
- Clay copes well with the treatment of tonsillitis and laryngitis;
- Keffekelit is also used in the treatment of mastopathy.
The composition of the natural product
A good natural blue rock contains radium, which helps to remove radionuclides from the body. In addition, it contains the following elements of the periodic table:
- Aluminum - participates in the construction of connective tissue (tendons, cartilage, etc.);
- Manganese - an antioxidant, helps heal wounds, strengthens the walls of arteries and restores cartilage tissue;
- Potassium - necessary for normal muscle activity;
- Iron - is involved in the synthesis of blood cells;

- Molybdenum - accelerates cell renewal, cellular metabolism;
- Nickel - reduces pressure, promotes muscle growth, is involved in hematopoiesis;
- Silver - activates local immunity, has a bactericidal property.
Important! Each of these elements can be both beneficial and harmful, therefore, the abuse of clay procedures on large areas of the body is undesirable.
Rich composition, isn't it? Many experts argue that in the described breed useful substances more than a fruit basket. We will not argue with them, because judging by the reviews, its competent use really has a healing effect on the body. 
Application in medicine
Clay is used to treat various ailments. different ways. There are wraps, and cakes on sore areas, and face masks, and the use of solutions inside for the stomach. I offer you several methods of using keffekelit, which can be safely carried out at home.
Blue clay for joints
This is probably the most common way to use the described breed. Compresses, baths and applications give quick result, take off pain syndrome, improve blood circulation in the diseased articulation of the bones.
In the treatment of arthritis, bursitis, arthrosis, osteoporosis and other joint problems, compresses can be done in this way:
- Dilute the clay with clean warm water to the consistency of mastic. It should not be liquid, contain lumps.
- Lay out the cake from the resulting mass with a thickness of 1-2 cm on a cotton cloth or napkin. The area of such a therapeutic cake should be slightly larger than the diseased area.
- Moisten the place requiring treatment with water or pre-treat with alcohol.
- Fix a napkin with clay well on a sore joint with a bandage, but do not squeeze the blood vessels.
- Wrap the compress on top with a woolen scarf and leave for a couple of hours.
- You can repeat the procedure up to three times a day for a week or two.
If the joints hurt, on which it is impossible to apply such a compress (for example, brushes), then it is permissible to replace it with clay baths. For diseases of the spine, you can do such baths for the whole body or locally on the affected area:
Help with respiratory diseases
With angina, gargling with clay water diluted with a spoonful of lemon juice helps well. This treatment can be supplemented with a warm application. Apply the finished product evenly on the neck in a thick layer. Let it dry and rinse with water. While the skin has not cooled down, wrap the throat with a woolen scarf or other heat-retaining cloth and leave for a quarter of an hour.
When coughing, you can make an application on chest if there are no contraindications for such a procedure.
For varicose veins
This problem is not only aesthetic, but also medical, causing pain and in some cases requiring surgical intervention. Either an application made in the same way as for diseases of the joints, or taking warm foot baths with clay will help alleviate the condition with varicose veins. Both methods can be used for a long time, up to one and a half months daily.
Interesting! To enhance the healing properties of the described breed, you can add grated garlic to it. But then be sure to reduce the time of using the compress to one hour and do not use such a tool more than twice a day.
In the treatment of intimate problems
In gynecology, applications and baths are also used. But I strongly do not recommend using this method of treatment. women's issues alone, at home. Inflammatory processes in the uterus, warmed up by a clay cake, can turn into serious complications, so entrust this aspect of your health to competent doctors.
It is often recommended to drink tinctures on keffekelite or just clay water for diseases of the throat, digestive, endocrine systems. I will not advertise this method, if only for the reasons that it is impossible to predict how high-quality clay you will get. But if you have experience of such treatment, then share it in the comments. 
Use in cosmetologists
This area of use of today's heroine is the most famous. She is a universal fighter that is suitable for both hair and skin quality, and will come in handy for those who want to lose weight.
Like any other clay rock, it has a beneficial effect on the skin of the face. Keel is universal, therefore it can be used in masks for dry, oily, aging skin, to eliminate acne and the effects of acne.
By adding various ingredients to homemade masks, you can enhance the qualities of the product that are necessary in a particular case. I wrote a separate post on how to use . Go read it, she deserves it.
For a slim figure and against cellulite
Blue clay accelerates cellular metabolism, draws out excess fluid from the body, and therefore will come in handy for weight loss. To achieve the desired result:
- Keel is applied in a dense layer to those parts of the body from which I would like to lose a couple of centimeters.
- The top is covered with a film and a heat-retaining fabric.
- To enhance the effect, essential oils, algae, honey, and vitamins are added to the diluted clay. Here the beauties have room for imagination!
In the same way, you can, if not completely get rid of cellulite, then significantly improve the condition of the skin on the thighs and buttocks.
If you want to get rid of stretch marks, then cosmetologists assure that the described methods also solve this problem. It is believed that the most effective is the alternation of baths, wraps and massage with keffekelit. You can see a short video on how to do this in the video below:
For hair beauty
You can wash your hair with white clay, and with yellow, and with other types. But the use of each will give its effect. Blue breed reduces hair breakage, eliminates the causes of hair loss, accelerates growth and fights dandruff.
You can use keffekelit for hair both in the form of masks, and simply in the process of washing them. I love blue clay mask lemon juice, egg yolk and honey. This excellent tool in the autumn-spring time, when the seasonal "molting" begins. See the video for more details:
Contraindications
When using blue clay on small areas of the body, there are usually no side effects does not occur. But before you take baths or do your own applications on a large area, it is better to consult a doctor or cosmetologist. Discuss with him how many times it is permissible to carry out such procedures. Clay is very active and therefore it is important to use it with caution for people with problems of the heart and blood vessels.
Important! Refrain from applying warm clay applications on areas of the skin located above the organ in which the inflammatory process occurs.
When choosing where to buy Cambrian clay, give preference to pharmacies or specialty stores with a proven track record. Refrain from purchasing this breed by hand or through online sellers. It’s good if they just slip you tinted kaolin, because it’s impossible to visually understand what exactly is in the package.
You can talk about the properties and methods of using blue clay for a long time, but it seems to me that I have already tired you for one time. Ask, maybe it is worth talking about some aspect of the use of this tool in more detail?
And now I say goodbye to you and hope to see you again soon!
