DESCRIPTION: Clay powder is sold in health food and cosmetics stores for use on the body and in it, as an internal detoxification agent. Its absorbent properties remove impurities and draw out toxins and irritants that cause rashes and blemishes.

RAHSSOUL RED: Unique in that rhassoul clay is great for both skin and hair, this ancient clay is mined from Morocco and is crazy-rich in minerals. It’s very negatively charged and most toxins in your skin are positively charged, so this clay is the perfect magnet for sopping up all those impurities—sebum plugs, blackheads, and oil around hair follicles. It doesn’t, however, leave you dry because of its elasticity and texture-improving effects. It’s gentle enough for daily use in small doses like in soap, makes a heavy-duty exfoliator when mixed with crushed oats or almonds, and is even great for absorbing excess build-up on hair, restoring volume, and shine.

Direction to use:

• Wash your face with warm water
• Make the mask. Put about a tablespoon or two of clay in a bowl
• Apply the mask. Apply the paste with your fingertips, covering all of the skin except the skin around your eyes.
• Let sit. Allow the paste to dry.
• Rinse off with water
