Beyond developing a powerful skincare range our ultimate mission is to empower women to feel comfortable and at their best in their raw, naked skin; hence our tagline “expose your naked beauty”. Our message is beauty is not defined and we are all beautiful in our own individual way. We want to educate not only women, but everybody around the globe the importance of self-love.

 "My initial mission was to create a skincare range that improved my skin and gave me results. My battles with mental health stemmed from my appearance in school. My skin issues and other areas of my face weren’t considered the ‘social norm”. I picked away at my pimples hoping they would go away which only made my skin worse leading to scaring. This led me to do the only thing I knew how... after trying so much skincare, I opted to cover up my skin the best I could with thick, caked on makeup. For over 20 years I never showed my bare skin to anyone, not even my daughter, my husband or even the post man. I wouldn’t even want to collect my mail without having my makeup on so I would avoid going to the front door when the postman arrived. It wasn't until we created Naked Klay that I showed my bare skin for the very first time as my skin finally cleared. I remember the day I told my daughter “Can you believe this is the first day in my life I’ve worn zero makeup?” – this was in her early 20’s. Our skincare noticeably helped with the scaring and overall, it has looked the best it ever has; to the point people where people don’t believe my age. It’s honestly a feeling of relief; I finally feel comfortable in my own naked skin." ~ Danielle; Co-Founder of Naked Klay.

So what is Qi?

Qi has been translated as "life force”, "vital energy", or “Breath”. 

Qi can even be material matter. The ancient Chinese believed that everything in the Universe is made up of Qi energy, including you. In pathology, when Qi flow slows and stagnates (stops flowing), lumps, masses, tumours and more can appear. In skincare, stagnated Qi can be responsible for anything from inflammation, acne, eczema, rosacea and other skin conditions. At Naked Klay we focus on ways to promote and maintain the flow of Qi through carefully selecting ingredients vital to improve and enhance your skin health. In addition to Qi, TMC is based on the balance of Yin and Yang. 

 

The Naked Klay Balance

Chinese herbs are often used in combination with many herbs, and these herb blends are considered to have a powerful action when combined. At Naked Klay we have combined our knowledge with Traditional Chinese herbs and modern science to create a skincare range targeting your skin concerns. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is based on the view that all symptoms are related, and the body is interconnected. For example, acne could be related to diet, stress, emotion or other factors. These lifestyle imbalances can cause all health complaints. Therefore, in relation to skincare it’s not only vital to look after the largest organ of our body “our skin” it’s equally vital to be mindful of obtaining a balanced diet, get adequate rest and relaxation, exercise and have a good mental attitude. In Chinese medicine, the mind and body are seen as interrelated therefore cannot be treated separately. What is good for the body is good for the mind, and vice versa. The importance of balancing your Qi energy between yin and yang leads to good emotional and physical health. Therefore, when Qi moves out of balance of excess or deficiency of yin and/or yang this leads to health issues.
