Animals lie in these clay beds to detoxify and heal their bodies. IT DOES THE SAME THING TO APPEARANCE OF HUMAN SKIN. Ingredients are bentonite (volcanic ash clay) purified water, montmorillonite, kaolin, magnesium sulphate, magnesium chloride, antioxidents (vit A,E,C) . How does it detox the skin surface. Microscopic particles …. and super absorbency removes toxins. Underlying tissue responds by realizing it does not need to hold so much fluid to dilute toxins that are no longer there. The fluid receeds, thus causing tissue to compact and tighten. Where does the clay come from. Volcanic eruptions that formed the Alutian Islands 150 million years ago. Why is it different or better than any other mud masque. Nothing else has the microscopic particle size or the absorbency. Use it on face and neck apply to entire face and also the neck down to the collar bone. Let dry about 10 20 minutes and wipe off with warm, wet wash cloth. Apply to legs, wrap with cellophane wrap (Saran wrap) tuck in the ends. Wrap hips, waist and body. Then do the arms. Lie down, cover with blanket. After 30 minutes wipe off vigorously with wet towels before showering, as this pulls the clay and toxins from pores and exfoliates dead skin cells. NO SHOWER IS NEEDED for salon use, as keeping in the pores for several hours keeps the detoxification process going. More effective when use while running, walking, dancing and gym...It really works.
