Blue French Clay
Blue French Clay is highly rich in minerals and trace elements, and boasts absorption, stimulating and oxygenating properties.
It tightens and purifies pores, cleanses the skin, improves circulation, brightens the complexion, and removes dead skin-cells and impurities, stimulating blood flow to create healthy and glowing skin.
It is well suited for all skin types, particularly normal to oily skin.
Blue French Clay can be used in a wide range of skincare and cosmetic products, including soap making, detoxifying body wraps, face masks, cleansers, face/body scrubs, eye-shadows, and other various cosmetics.
Tips for Use:
Mask: For a simple and effective mask, mix a few drops of purified water, floral water or aloe vera juice, with a few drops of your favourite carrier oil, into 1tbsp of clay until a smooth paste is formed. 1-2 drops of essential oil can also be added for extra benefits. Apply to the face or body and leave for about 10 minutes (or until partially dry). Gently rinse off and finish with a good moisturiser or face serum.
Poultices: Blue French Clay can also be used as a poultices to treat arthritis, sore muscles, sprains, bruises, insect bites, stings and minor burns. Simply mix into a thick paste with water and apply to a piece of gauze. Apply the gause (clay side down) to the injured area and hold in place with adhesive tape. It can be left for up to 2 hours, but the clay should not be allowed to dry. Discard poultice after use - do not reuse.
