Nude French Clay
An up-and-coming favourite of the French Clays, Nude (or Beige) French Clay is highly rich in minerals and boasts purifying and regenerating properties. Due to its natural beige colour, it is ideal for use in natural mineral makeup.
It tightens and purifies pores, cleanses the skin, absorbs excess sebum form the skin, and removes impurities, stimulating blood flow to create healthy and glowing skin. It is your go-to for exfoliation, pore-tightening and oil-absorption.
It is well suited for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin.
Nude 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, and other various cosmetics.
AWO's French clays are 100% natural mineral powders - the clay is crushed and dried via mechanical treatment, with absolutely no chemical additives.
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: Nude 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.
Mineral bath: Add 1/2 cup of Nude French Clay to a bath of warm water, to soothe sunburned or irritated skin, relieve arthritis or muscle pains, and reduce stress.
