Choose a deep sea mud mask for every skin type. Deep sea mud is rich in pure minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and iodine, which work to restore and revitalize skin cells, draw out toxins and improve the look and feel of your skin in general.

Pick koalin clay in white, yellow or pink for your facial masks. White kaolin, or China clay, is the most gentle for sensitive skin and works to cleanse, exfoliate and stimulate blood flow. White kaolin does not absorb oil from the skin, so it is perfect for dry skin.

Select pink kaolin instead of white or yellow for dry yet not sensitive skin, as it has the same benefits of white kaolin, but is a bit stronger. Choose yellow kaolin for facial masks, the strongest of the three kaolin, if you have normal skin needing a bit more exfoliation. Still gentle enough for all skin types, yellow kaolin will help to wash away excess oils without drying the skin.
