The clay is a powerful aid to beauty, but not just those who suffer from oily skin , rashes and acne because it helps to dry the excess oil and deep cleanse the pores. It is also useful for those suffering from rosacea, adding a bit ‘of olive oil to make the dough less dry and more nutritious and emulsify everything with water.
My herbalist advised me of a mixture of clay powder dissolved in water to which you add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. The mask should be repeated twice a week, taking the concoction on your face for about half an hour – more if there’s nobody around to frighten. Rinsed with lukewarm water.
