Green clay - French
French Green clay is said to have the greatest diversity in mineral elements. Its colour is due to the presence of iron oxide linked to magnesium, calcium, potassium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc, aluminium, silicon, copper, selenium, cobalt, and molybdenum. It can help to control excessive oiliness, making the skin more balanced.
Clay has been used for thousands of years to stimulate, reinvigorate and rejuvenate the skin, cleanse and beautify, making them an ideal ingredient for skincare and natural beauty products.
To use clays:
To 1 tbsp of clay slowly add water, hydrosol or oil and mix into a paste.
Apply a thick coating to the face and/or body.
Leave on for 10 minutes.
Wash off with warm water.
Use your favourite oil or moisturiser to finish.
For best results steam clean the face to open pores before applying.
