This is so good for your skin!
French Green Clay (a.k.a. Illite Clay) is very absorbent, and literally "drinks" oils, toxic substances, and impurities from your skin. Its toning action stimulates your skin by bringing fresh blood to damaged skin cells - this revitalizes your complexion and tightens pores. Illite is not the Fountain of Youth but certainly is a natural way of improving the condition of your skin!
Illite is mined from bedrock quarries in France, sun-dried, completely natural, and fragrance free. It is a bio-mineral and contains decomposed plant matter as well as many trace minerals*.
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.
Add a little to your facial mask or try a natural preparation for easy treatment of acne, ezcema, and rosacea.
