Bentonite Clay Contains more than 70 trace minerals, but its unique healing ability comes from the clay's negative charge. The negative charge of bentonite is responsible for its amazing detoxifying properties: as a magnet for the toxic elements in our body - heavy metals, pesticides, and free radicals - which are positively charged efficiently absorbent and drawn into the porous surface of the clay. When mixed with water, bentonite 'swells up' (this is imperceptible to the naked eye) and becomes very porous. The electrical and molecular components change and produce an electrical charge. This enables it to absorb toxins from the pores. Toxins are drawn into the clay through electrical attraction and then bound to the clay molecules to be washed away. Deep Facial Clay Cleansing Mask The Benefits of Clay Masks A clay mask has many benefits. It stimulates and increases circulation, tightens sagging skin, refines enlarged pores, exfoliates by lifting dead skin cells and cleanses the skin like nothing else! When applied to the skin the clay works itself into the pores and follicles. The clay binds itself to dirt and debris trapped in the pores. When the mask is removed the clay carries all this trapped debris with it leaving your pores clean and refreshed. How To Use:  Mix 1 part clay to 3-4 parts water. You might need more or less water, so add water slowly until the clay becomes a thick creamy paste.  It is best to use a glass, pottery, or wooden bowl. Stir the mixture until it is a smooth paste and add more clay or liquid as needed. Apply approximately 1/8 inch thick layer of clay to the face or other areas and let it dry completely. Drying times vary, but times are generally 30 minutes. You will feel a pulling and tightening sensation due to deep pore cleansing. Remove clay by first patting face with warm water to saturate clay and then gently wipe face with a soft wash cloth using warm water. After clay is removed, pat face with cold water to seal pores.  A slight redness may appear after removing the clay. This is normal and will disappear in approximately 30 minutes. Clay helps to remove dirt and impurities from the pores of the skin. Clay can be used by the whole family, men and women.  *Note: Clay may stain a light colored wash cloth. 4 oz bag.
