Full Body Clay Exfoliation at Home

What you need

  • A bowl

  • Warm water

  • Your CLA (a fine powdered clay works best)

  • A soft washcloth or exfoliating mitt

  • Optional: a small amount of simple oil for after (like castor oil or another body oil you already like)

Step 1: Start with warmth

Take a warm shower or bath for 5–10 minutes. The goal is to soften the skin so you don’t have to scrub hard.

Step 2: Mix a “silky paste”

In a bowl, mix clay with warm water until it becomes a smooth, yogurt-like paste. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir again. If it feels too thick, add a splash more water.

Step 3: Apply in sections

Turn the water off (or step out of the stream). Apply the clay paste to one body area at a time: arms, legs, torso, back if you can reach, then feet and hands last.

Step 4: Exfoliate gently

With damp hands or a damp washcloth, use small circles and light pressure. Let the clay do the work. If your skin starts to feel “draggy,” add a little more water rather than scrubbing harder.

Step 5: Rinse before it fully dries

Rinse while the clay is still slightly damp. If you let it dry completely, it can feel too drying for many people.

Step 6: Seal in moisture

Pat dry, then apply a simple moisturizer or a small amount of oil while skin is still slightly warm. This helps lock in hydration after exfoliation.

Frequency

  • Normal skin: once a week

  • Very dry or sensitive skin: every other week

  • Oily or rough patches (elbows, knees, heels): up to twice a week just on those areas
