In various African
cultures the application of clay on the face or the body has been done for
years, but it had never occurred to me that the people could be using it for detox
purposes or even for beautiful skin…excuse me for being backwards! With so many
detox regimens these days we can barely count what, when and how these things
work and the effect they have on our system, but I must say that I love the
smell of clay on my face not only because it smells so natural, but it also
feels so natural. J
One of my favourites is Bentonite clay since I can use it both internally and
externally, now that’s cost saving. After a long hard day, drinking and applying
Bentonite clay on your face is quite beneficial.
What are the
benefits of BC? The brief:
·
BC can be used for cleansing the system since it
absorbs toxins and also helps in elimination of those toxins. (Mix 1 tablespoon
of clay with 1 cup water and drink the solution)
·
Supplies the skin and hair with the much needed minerals
·
BC is best for oily skin and should be applied
lightly on sensitive skin
·
BC is a good exfoliator, mix 1 tablespoon of
clay with ¼ cup of water or until textured, but smooth, apply the clay and wait
15-20 minutes. Rinse with clean warm water; rub with a dry towel…et voila!
Go ahead, mask yourself J
Where can I purchase it?
ReplyDeleteIf you're living in South Africa, you can purchase it at Dischem Pharmacy or Health Food stores. If you're living in another country check any Health Food store they should have it. It's also referred to as "white clay"
