Clay Masks from Southern France

Clays mined from the Pontoise region of France have been used to centuries to purify and beautify skin. Clay masks work by adsorbing impurities from the skin cells, by causing dead cells to slough off, and by stimulating the flow of blood to the epidermis. As the clay dries on the skin, it causes the pores to tighten and the skin to feel firm. French green clay is also used to treat arthritis, sore muscles, and sprains; and for application to cuts, bruises, insect bites, stings, and minor burns; and mineral baths for stress relief.

How to use clay masks: add purified water or floral water, mix into a paste and apply to the face or body. Allow to dry, rinse it off, and use your favorite moisturizer to finish.
