Green Clay handmade-naturals-by-corinne

Our Superfine Argiletz Green French Clay is the most active of all clay and is more suited for normal to oily skin. It cleanses, tones and softens the skin, and can be used either on the face or the body with great results. It is also very effective in treating skin disorders such as acne or eczema. 

Clay stimulates circulation, aids toxin elimination, rejuvenates the skin and cleans the pores by drawing out impurities. Applications once or twice a week will make the skin feel smooth, clean and will look vibrant.

How to make a facial mask: Clay mixed with only purified water gives wonderful results. You can also enhance clay’s beneficial effects by adding 1 or 2 drops or essential oil, 4-5 drops of Wheatgerm, Jojoba or our Sweet Almond oil. Natural substances can also be added to the mix such as egg yolk or honey to the basic clay preparation.
