French Red Clay Powder: 1 lb: K

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. Imported from the South of France, in the Provence area, French Red Clay Powder contains a higher iron oxide content than other clays, and it is used mainly in cosmetics, as a 'mud-pack' facial (mixed with water), and also in shampoos, conditioners, and toothpastes. When applied to the skin, it draws out excess dirt and impurities that can cause blemishes, blackheads or pimples. As it dries and then rinsed, it leaves the skin clean, tight and smooth, and it may help reduce unsightly wrinkles. Eliminative mud packs have been found to be very helpful in the treatment of psoriasis. Clay mixed with a little water is applied to the affected areas. Like a blotter, the dried clay is removed, and a fresh pack is applied. Toxins and dead cells are just peeled off. Considered all-purpose clay; very absorbent, detoxifying and remineralizing. For use as a mask to draw out impurities from the skin pores. http://www.thebeautybottle.com/articles/greenclayfacemasks.shtml: Kim Draper: There are three bases used for a clay facial mask, White Kaolin which has a astringent effect and removes impurities from normal to oily skin; Fullers Earth which has a stimulating effect and removes dead skin cells on normal to oily skins; Green Clay which is the most popular base for the facial mask because it can be used on all types of skin care conditions. It can be used to balance combination skin, normalize oily skin, and revitalize dry skin. It is rich in vitamin and minerals and has antiseptic healing properties that leave the skin feeling silky smooth.
