Used for thousands of years, green clay is one of the most popular natural ingredients for skin and body care. Rich in minerals, it is known for its strong absorbent properties, ideal for helping to draw out impurities and excess sebum. Applied as a poultice, it offers a localised treatment that's purifying and remineralising, and easy to prepare at home.
