Skin exfoliation is one of the important steps in a skin care routine and it has a long history since Ancient Egyptians times. Aside from the fact that exfoliating removes dead skin cells, I love the fact that it feels refreshing and almost like I’m “renewed” in a way – getting back my complexion back to its natural, fresh state.

“What if I have never exfoliated”? Chances are these lifeless cells on your skin can cause tons of problems such as clogged pores, breakouts and dull skin. 

There are many ways to exfoliate your skin and clay mask is known to be one of the most gentle ways of exfoliating especially for your face. Think of clays as a magnet for the bad stuff on your skin.

Let's dive in and discover the 6 benefits of clays! After all, who doesn't wanna know more about Cleopatra's skin care routine?
