Spiritual Connection

 

Clay face masks have a long and respected history with different cultures around the world. This ancient beauty ritual has been used to treat skin ailments and revitalize the skins complexion since ancient times. In Indigenous cultures clay is used in cleansing ceremonies by healers and shamans who believed in the healing power of using elements from the earth—clay being one of them—to purify, nourish, and transform.

 

In African culture, nature and the earth's soil are noted to have the energetic ability to create balance and harmony in the body. With this knowledge, natural clays are used in spiritual ceremonies to help bridge the gap between the physical and invisible world, connecting one with ancestral energy, clearing the aura and improving one's spiritual well-being.

 

When used in a spiritual routine, clay masks promotes tranquility by causing you to pause, breathe and connect with the rejuvenating energies of the Earth. Some give credit to their clay mask routine as one act that helped them dive deeper into their journey of self-discovery.

 

The sole intention for intentionally creating this moment of self-care is to nourish not only your skin but also your spirit. As the mask draws out impurities, it also releases worries, stress and anxiety allowing you to emerge renewed and refreshed.

How does it cleanse and heal?

 

When the clay comes in contact with toxins, chemicals or heavy metals, it creates a negative charge that absorbs the toxins while simultaneously releasing its healing minerals for the body to use. It also helps get oxygen to cells as it pulls excess hydrogen and restores the alkaline ph balance, rejuvenating and healing the skin.  

How to Use

 

When hydrating clay with water use spring water, floral hydrosol or pure oil and mix into a creamy consistency. For best results steam clean the face to open pores before applying. Remember, every clay has its own character and qualities so if the mixture is too thin, add more clay, if too thick, add more water.

 

Directions:

 

1. Mix 1 tsp of dry clay with .5 tsp of water until the powdered clay becomes a paste.
2. Apply with the applicator brush or clean fingers to a freshly washed and dried face and enjoy the unique tightening, pulsing experience.
3. Let dry for 5-10 minutes for delicate skin. Rinse with warm water, pat dry, and apply your normal moisturizer to lock in hydration.
4. Repeat as needed or 2-3 times a week if you have oily skin and 1-2 times a week for normal, dry and sensitive skin.

 

*Avoid mixing clay formula with a metal spoon or in a metal container, as clays will absorb metal toxins when activated with liquid. 

 

*Masking increases circulation to aid in cellular turnover. A bit of redness on the skin after using this mask is normal and will typically disappear within 45 minutes.
