1 lb MOROCCAN RED CLAY

Moroccan red clay is considered one of the more rare and pure clays of the earth. It is also known as Rhassoul (also Ghassoul) clay, which literally means "that which washes" in Arabic. Once reserved for Egyptian royalty, Moroccan Rhassoul clay has been used as cleanser and conditioner for hair and skin for centuries and continues to be a popular spa treatment in many world-class retreats. Abundant in magnesium, iron, calcium and potassium, red clay is reputed to clarify and moisturize the skin while improving texture and elasticity. In the same way that a paste of clay is applied to the face and body as a cleaner or detoxifying mask, Moroccan red clay can be used to regularly cleanse the hair and scalp instead of shampoo (although a dab of conditioner is recommended)

Mix with water to use as a cleanser and conditioner for skin and hair. Red clay is also used in various cosmetics, including body powders, creams and lotions.

~Face Mask -To use as a mask: Using a glass or ceramic container and wooden spoon (do not use metal tools), combine red clay with sufficient liquid to make a paste. Let it sit 2 or 3 minutes. Using fingertips, spread a consistent layer to fully cover the skin (for the purpose of a mask, avoid getting clay in mouth, eyes, ears, nose.) Relax, think some peaceful thoughts and allow the clay to dry (about 4 minutes for sensitive skin; 8 minutes for normal skin). The mask tightens as it dries, pulling dirt and impurities from the skin to the surface. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, pat skin dry and follow with your choice of natural toner and moisturizer.
