Rhassoul clay is formed from volcanic activity & geothermal processes and mined from the atlas mountains in morocco. It is rich in organic magnesium, iron, sodium, potassium, lithium, and silica. The word rhassoul means to become washed and is an effective tool in both deep cleansing and nourishing skin. Simply mix with warm water [using non-metal tools] and apply as a full mask or on a specific spot. You can make it as thin or thick as you wish. Leave on for no more than 5 minutes to avoid drying our skin. Follow with hydration.
