How to Handle Clay

How to use clay

Follow these simple rules and tips to keep your clay clean, effective, and active:

• Always use clean utensils when removing the clay from the container.
• Clay can stain fabrics, handle with care and protect your clothes or fabrics.
• Store the clay away from extreme heat and direct sunlight.
• Keep out of the proximity of chemicals and strong odors.
• Clay will increase oxygenation and blood circulation to the skin*. (*Sometimes clay can create redness and an itchy sensation, which is normal and not harmful).
• If you are experiencing an active flare-up of rosacea, increased sensitivity, or burning, wait until the area has calmed down before treating it with clay.
• The clay should be kept dry.
• Never accept natural clay packaged in aluminum/metal bags.
• Clay should never be handled with metal spoons or stored in metal containers.
• The materials used to prepare the clay should be plastic-silicone, but preferably wooden, glass, ceramic spoons, bowls, etc.
• For storage, you can use plastic, but paper, ceramic, or glass containers are recommended.

It is thought that clay loses its beneficial qualities through contact with metal.
