Bentonite Indian Clay {Review}
We have a houseful of girls and they love trying new spa treatments. This product was put to use as soon as it arrived.
A couple of our girls read the directions which were easy to follow: Mix 3 parts of water to one part clay well to a smooth paste. Apply to skin and let dry for about 2o minutes. Wash with warm water to remove clay. Use it once a week to keep your skin beautiful and refresh.
Sounds simple enough. The clay did take a little bit of work to get it into a smooth paste but once applied it dried nicely. Both girls said they could feel the clay drawing up as it dried and that their face tingled a little.
Once the clay was removed, the girls had smooth, pink skin. It didn’t leave any residue and rinsed away easily.
This product received a thumbs up from my crew! Even though Rebekah called Katrina – Fiona while she had on her facial mask…aren’t sisters great?
According to the product information:
Bentonite, also referred to as Montmorillonite, is one of the most effective and powerful healing clays. Bentonite can be used externally as a clay poultice, mud pack or in the bath and, in skin care recipes. A good quality Bentonite should be a grey/cream color and anything bordering “pure white” is suspect. It has a very fine, velveteen feel and is odorless and non-staining. The type of bentonite offered by Mountain Rose herbs is a Sodium Bentonite.
Bentonite Clay is composed of aged volcanic ash. The name comes from the largest known deposit of Bentonite Clay located in Fort Benton, Wyoming.
Bentonite is a swelling clay. When it becomes mixed with water it rapidly swells open like a highly porous sponge. From here the toxins are drawn into the sponge through electrical attraction and once there, they are bound.
Bentonite clay carries a strong negative charge which bonds to the positive charge in many toxins. When it comes in contact with a toxin, chemical, or heavy metal, the clay will absorb the toxin and release it’s minerals for the body to use. Bentonite also helps get oxygen to cells as it pulls excess hydrogen and allows the cells to replace it with oxygen instead.
There are several other ways to use this clay but I am looking forward to seeing how much it will help my feet. Foot soaks and masks are on my calendar for the next couple of weeks. If this product can help my feet…well, I would need to purchase stock options in it! The teens are looking forward to trying it on a couple of trouble acne spots too.
