Clay is one of the most profound elements in nature. It is a naturally occuring substance that contains minerals, trace elements, and nutrients. Clays are high in magnesium, calcium, and iron. All of these minerals help the production of collegen in the skin. Those minerals also provide nutrition to the living skin layers in the dermis. Using clay helps to smooth and soften the skin while improving the skins circulation. It not only exfoliates but tones and firms the skin as well.

Clay is naturally absorbent and draws out toxins, bacteria, and viruses from deep within the skins tissues. It also absorbs excess oils and dirt. In a nutshell, clay gently cleanses and detoxifies the skin.As you can see the benefits of clay are many. The benefit highly increases when the clay is coupled with other natural elements such as herbs and essential oils.

Goddess Of Nature uses a combination of clays, essential oils, and herbs in her products. Please stay tuned for other blog postings regarding the availability of those items.
