French Green Clay

French Green Clay (Also Known as Illite Clay or Sea Clay) is very absorbent, and literally "drinks" oils, toxic substances, and impurities from your skin.  Its toning action stimulates the skin by bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells, revitalizing the complexion, and tightening pores. Mined from bedrock quarries in France, it is sun-dried, completely natural, unscented, and fragrance free.  Green clay is a bio-mineral, and contains decomposed plant matter as well as many trace minerals, such as: silica, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, micro-algaes, kelp, and phyto-nutrients. Green Clay has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties which make it beneficial for muscular pain, swelling, and arthritic or rheumatic conditions. Cosmetically, French Green clay is revered for its ability to stimulate blood and lymph circulation, remove dead skin cells, absorb impurities and fats, and tone and strengthen connective tissues.  After using French Green clay, skin feels fresh, smooth, radiant, and soft.  French Green Clay is also marvelous for helping to clear problem skin areas, and is gentle enough to use weekly, or even daily on problem spots.

French Green Clay Skin Benefits

 

Using French green clay for skin applications is a tried and true remedy in particular for people with oily skin. Naturally absorbent, this desirable skin remedy cleans, tightens, and renews skin cells. With French green clay you can prepare masks and body applications, but there are a few precautions to keep in mind when mixing, using, and storing this natural substance.

Applying French green clay to the skin as a mask removes dead cells, feeds new cells by promoting blood flow, and leaves the skin feeling smooth and revitalized. Green clay mixes into a paste by adding water. Smooth the mixture on the neck and face (avoiding the eyes). Do not leave the mask on for more than 10 minutes. Do not use this facial more than once a week because the mineral content of the clay can be an irritant.

 

 

Absorbency

The absorbent qualities of green clay can clarify skin cells.

French green clay acts like a micro-molecule sponge, removing impurities, dust, oil, dead skin, and contaminants with its ability to absorb. Pulling toxic substances from skin invigorates the complexion and tightens pores.

 

Oily Skin and Acne

Applying clay paste to acne trouble spots generates healthy skin cells.

Treating acne with French green clay pulls bacteria from the infected areas. Paste applications on the trouble spots can be applied daily. The toning qualities of the clay stimulate the skin and provide increased circulation to damaged cells while rebuilding connective tissue.
Normally, dry and sensitive skin does not benefit from green clay treatments. Use French green clay and products containing it only on oily skin.
