Rhassoul Clay | A quick profile for the uninitiated!What is Rhassoul Clay?
A gentle but effective beauty clay used for detoxifying, purifying and conditioning skin and hair Origins: Quarry-mined from the Atlas Mountain of Morocco or from lake-side deposits and sun-dried. Used for over 1,400 years by nobility in Ancient Rome and Egypt. Rhassoul Clay consists of: •Silica- 58% •Magnesium- 25.2% •Aluminium- 2.47% •Iron- 0.64% •Sodium- 2.3% •Calcium- 2.34% •Moisture- <8% Source What it looks like? Initially a brown polished soap-like rock /lump. Micronized to a silken, smoother earth texture. A light gray colour (untreated) as a powder. It is Smetic (swells when water is added) (Source) Makes a fine, smooth paste with water added. Claims: –Used in Ancient Rome and Egypt as a soap, shampoo and skin conditioner. –Improves skin elasticity, clarity and firmness. –Removes dead skin cells, improving smoothness. –Removes surface oil on skin. Source1 and Source 2 How to mix it: Uses Face –Mix 1 tsp with water/rosewater (anti-inflammatory) –Leave mixture to hydrate for 5-10 mins –Apply to wet face and leave for 10-15 mins. –Keep damp with water spray or wet fingers. –Rinse with fresh water. Hair –Mix 2 tbsps with lukewarm water (more if needed – I use 60g = 4tbsp) –Form a paste –Apply to hair from roots to tips. –Leave for 20-30 mins with a shower-cap on –Wash out thoroughly. I've added 30mls of Aloe vera juice to this mix before with good results. Other additions I've liked include honey (for moisturizing) and marshmallow root-infused water (for extra detangling). How I found it on my hair? –I only need a little amount to get the job done. –Easy to make a smooth paste! –It really detangles my hair (gives slip): as I rinse each section, I detangle with my fingers. –Hair is soft and smooth from root to tip. –I’ve stuck with this every 1-2 months since first trying it!
