Clay is derived from pure, mineral rich earth from selected places around the world. Clays have a drawing effect when applied to the skin. When mixed with water clay masks draw impurities to the surface of the skin to be eliminated and stimulate blood flow and nutrient delivery to the skins surface. Clay masks rejuvenate and aid exfoliation, removing dead skin from the skins surface for a brighter, clearer complexion. Clay masks can also help to clear breakouts and acne. Clays are naturally drying as they also draw your skins natural oils from the skin so it is helpful to follow your clay mask with a nourishing plant oil massage.

Suitable for Green Clay makes a purifying and cleansing clay mask suitable for combination, oily and acne prone skin.

We recommend performing a patch test before incorporating a new product into your routine. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have any medical conditions consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children.
