Mud is clay, soil, loam, or silt, mixed with water. It usually forms after rainfall or near water sources. Mud is rich in natural minerals and nutrients and can be used on the skin to draw out contaminants and impurities, absorb excess oil efficiently, and act as an excellent delivery system for skin-treatment actives.  

There are distinct types of mud and the nutrients within the mud, the absorbency and trace mineral content can vary as well. A mud with high oil absorption is used to treat oily skin, while a less absorbent clay, with the addition of hydrators is best for drier skin. But regardless of the differences, mud’s benefits include: 

  • Cleansing: As mud masks they tend to pull up the excess oil and dirt from within your skin. They can soothe existing blemishes or even prevent future blemishes from emerging when they are used weekly
  • Exfoliation: Natural mud masks do not contain microbeads, making them an environmentally safe way to take care of your skin.
  • Enriching: The natural minerals in mud masks - including calcium, sulphate, and , magnesium - are great for your skin.
  • Slowing down the aging process: As you get older, your skin produces fewer oils. Because mud masks are so full of good nutrients for your skin, they can give a youthful glow to your face and return some of those oils to your skin in combination with a moisturizer.
