Clay is a solid, fat and moist earth that can be appreciated in all kind of different varieties: white, red, green, brown, grey, pink, or yellow. Each type has its own properties, which are determined by where it comes from and how deeply it is mined. Green Clay contains plant matter and important trace minerals such as sodium, silica, zinc, cobalt, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, and selenium. Its rich minerals and active enzymes help you to exfoliate your skin, absorb dirt and surface fats, stimulate blood circulation, and draw toxins from the skin.

While Green Clay can fly all these health benefits to your skin solo, we decided to go even more bold with adding Rosemary. Rosemary is stimulating, rejuvenating, and relaxes the skin. The scent has been found to improve speed and accuracy when performing certain mental tasks. Who doesn't need a little clay-rosemary combo to perk up the senses every once in a while?
Clay must be kept dry. It should never be mixed with metal spoons or stored in metal containers; the only materials that should be used in preparation or storage are wooden spoons or glass stirrers, and either glass or ceramic containers. It is thought that the clay loses its beneficial electromagnetic qualities through contact with metal. Once used, never re-use the same clay.

If you have a dry or sensitive skin complexion, you should use a clay mask only once a week, as the clay will absorb moisture from the skin along with any impurities.
