Detox with Clay Masks

Clay is key addition to the list of beauty treatments using 100% natural ingredients. White, pink or green clay all have uses as skin detoxifiers.

In search of the natural
Clay is an extremely effective natural beauty product. A sedimentary rock which derives from the slow decomposition of granite, it is made up of silicates hydrated with aluminium. Its cosmetic properties and colour are determined by the minerals (iron oxide, salts, calcium, trace elements) that have infiltrated into it.
Whatever its colour, it is rich in skin enhancing properties and is exceptionally efficient in draining the skin of its impurities and stimulating the blood and the lymphatic system. White clay - the most neutral of the clays - is most suitable for normal or combination skin, whilst clay is recommended for oily skin types.

Directions for use
Apply a fine layer to the face and neck with the fingertips avoiding the immediate eye area. Allow drying naturally. When you feel the mask start to pull the skin, remove with cotton wool moistened with mineral oil.
