2017 Spring Beauty Trend: Clay

Clay is one of the top ingredients in many beauty products loved by celebrities, and is now becoming more available for the mass market. Clay can help absorb impurities and heal skin. Clay products come in a multitude of colors due to the type of clay that is used. Different types of clay have their own specific benefits for skin.

Clay is not longer just available for celebrities or at expensive salons. I've teamed up with my local Meijer store and The 2017 #MeijerBeauty Spring Campaign to feature affordable and accessible products.

L'Oreal Paris recently came out with it's Extraordinary Clay line which features shampoo, conditioner, dry shampoo, and a clay mask for your hair!

The shampoo and conditioner for oily roots and dry ends has three refined clays. It purifies roots and hydrates dry ends without weighing down your hair.

These products left my hair feeling super soft. I can't get over the smell! The light, fresh scent is AMAZING!

The clay hair mask, which also features three refined clays, is actually a pre-shampoo mask. I sectioned off my hair, painted the mask onto my roots with my fingers, and let it set for 5 minutes before shampooing. It rinses out easy, and made me feel like I had a extra clean, oil free roots.

Refreshing your face for Spring with clay is also super simple. L'Oreal now offers 6 different clay masks, each with a different benefits for you skin.

The Detox and Brightening Pure-Clay mask addresses dull and tired skin. The mask detoxifies with deep pore cleansing pulling out dirt, dust, and pollution.

On the days I'm not using the Detox and Brightening clay mask, I got L'Oreal's Exfoliate and Refining Treatment Pure-Clay Mask. This mask addresses rough skin and deeply clogged pores with pure clays and volcanic rock. Exfoliation will help remove dead cells, dirt, and oil from your skin.

I even like to use them in combo!

All products are available in the health and beauty aisles at Meijer. Be sure to check out #MeijerBeauty on social media for other great products and tips!
