Clays
Clays are wonderful for drawing out oils and toxins and balancing oil production as well as increasing circulation while providing essential minerals. Improved elasticity, detoxification, and reduced pore size are just a few of the benefits.
There is a distinct clay for your specific skin care needs, from French Green Clay to mineral rich Moroccan Rhassoul Clay there is surely a clay for you.
Exfoliants
It is imperative to exfoliate the skin, especially as we age to maintain that healthy glow as the natural sloughing off of dead skin gradually decreases. Every individual will require a different form of exfoliation, some need a more aggressive approach, some need a gentle touch of help. With a range of exfoliants form antioxidant rich Grape Seed Powder to Rice Bran Powder, popular in Japan and effective at soothing and lightening while exfoliating.
Powders
Many herbs that you are familiar with are suprisingly of benefit to the skin. Licorice Root Powder both lightens and controls oil production. Echinacea Purpurea Root is anti inflammatory that also helps correct photodamage. Goat's Milk Powder is excellent for sensitive and dry skin because it is highly moisturizing and rich in Essential Fatty Acids. These powders make custom masks a powerhouse of skin health.
Oils
Natural oils are quite a benefit to the skin when applied. Each oil is chosen for the variety of issues my clients are experiencing. Rosewood oil rejuvenates skin and balances combination skin, while Baobab Oil from the "tree of life" is full of Omegas and can increase elasticity while smoothing fine lines. There is a nutrient rich oil for you as well.
All of these lovely ingredients are used in the purest form, free of parabens and laboratory concocted ingredients with spectacular results. With attention to your individual skin care concerns these lovely clay and oils will leave your skin healthy and nourished.
