Can I use this green clay on my scalp or body, and how does that differ from facial use?

The source indicates occasional use on the scalp or body is appropriate. For the scalp, mix a slightly thinner paste so it spreads easily through the roots. Apply to damp hair, focusing on areas that get greasy fastest, leave for 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water followed by your usual shampoo if needed. This can help absorb excess sebum and leave the scalp feeling cleaner between washes.

On the body — such as the back, chest, or shoulders where pores may appear more noticeable — use a broader brush or your hands to apply an even layer. The same timing guidelines apply: rinse while still slightly damp if the skin in that area tends toward dryness. Because body skin is generally thicker than facial skin, a slightly longer contact time is usually well tolerated, but always monitor how your skin responds.

After any scalp or body application, ensure all clay particles are fully rinsed away to avoid residue buildup. Pat the area dry and apply a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer if the skin feels tight. Frequency: once a week is a common starting point; adjust based on how your skin or scalp feels.
