The use of clay is very old, probably for millennia. We find traces of its use among the Egyptians, the Chinese, the Greeks, the Romans,... Gradually neglected over the centuries, clay regained its place thanks to certain naturopaths who used it successfully to cure certain ailments.

Green clay can be used internally or externally, we will limit ourselves to its cosmetic use to maintain your skin or your hair. Green clay can be used alone or mixed with other ingredients such as hydrosol or vegetable oil. Easy to use and inexpensive, green clay can purify, cleanse, tone and soften any type of skin.

Absorbent of impurities and very effective in regulating excess sebum, green clay is therefore mainly recommended for normal skin and oily skin, but also for oily hair. Green clay is remineralizing, regenerating weakened areas and revitalising. It is very efficient and of all the clays, it is the most versatile.

Its most common use in cosmetics is in the form of a mask which attracts impurities, promotes healing and stimulates blood circulation. Its use is very simple since it is enough to mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of clay with mineral water, floral water or a decoction, of plants and to stir the whole with a wooden spatula, your mask is ready.
