Application Tips
Absolute Mineral Face Mask:
It is a good idea to make this a ritual. Sometimes you just need a special “Me time”. Light a candle, make some intensely beautiful tea, pour a luxurious bath or make it a party, invite a friend/s, pour a glass of wine and have fun and laugh!
It is so simple!
Use the delicate porcelain bowl and spoon provided, mix 2 teaspoons of this beautiful volcanic clay (sufficient for a whole face) with small amounts of water (2 to 1 ratio, generally), blend into a rich, creamy paste, add 3 drops of olive/grapeseed/almond or other natural quality oil and allow paste to mature for 2 minutes. Apply to face generously and leave the mask on for 20-30 minutes. You will feel a tingling sensation as the result of the cleansing process. Spray your face with the spray bottle provided or moisten your face with your hands before the mask hardens so as to re-hydrate. Remove before the clay mask is totally dry. To remove, soften the clay mask with warm water first, apply light pressure in a circular motion to assist exfoliation and rinse well. Or use a facecloth to softly wipe away the residue of the clay mask. Wait a minute and then MOISTURISE! Slight blushing of the skin is normal, and will soon subside, leaving you with a natural tan-like glow. This shows that the clay treatment has successfully done its job in revitalising the circulation of your skin. …and voila - tightened, firmer and softer, more beautiful skin! For maintenance, repeat once or 2x a week.
There is no overdose.
Oh yes, and please stay indoors, do not frighten the neighbours! :)
Enjoy!
For Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis, Dermatitis, Pimples and other problem skin treatments:
Absolute SPA clay is a powerful soother of problematic skin and curative for rashes, acne, eczema, shingles, pimples, dermatitis and psoriasis. It is advisable to apply a thicker layer and leave paste on an effected area for as long as possible, keep on re-hydrating or cover with it a plastic wrap to keep moisture in. For persistent conditions, repeat this natural skin treatment once or twice a day, or even leave in place overnight; doing this every day is advisable. Please remember to add your oil so as not to dehydrate your skin. In the case of a facial for acne, pimples or minor cuts leave it on until it is almost, but not totally dry. Then rinse with a warm wash to remove all traces of the clay, wait a minute or two and moisturise. You may apply 2-3 times a week or as desired. A clay bath is also a great idea!
Bee stings, mosquito bites…
spider bites, snake bites, stinging nettle, boils etc. Apply the volcanic clay paste directly to the skin for a drawing-out-effect. Leave until dry, then reapply.
Burns or scrapes and bruise treatment:
For a more ‘cooling and soothing effect’ apply clay paste to the wound area and cover with a plastic wrap or wet cloth to prevent drying out or replace it with a fresh application. Even though the volcanic clay will not dry when covered, it is advisable to replace twice daily. Some patients have found that even leaving the pack intact on a burn for two or three days will produce beautiful new ‘pink skin’.
UNSURE OF WHICH APPLICATION?
If you are not sure which technique suits your needs the best, then alternate between covered and uncovered applications. Generally speaking, practicality rules :). Covering the clay with a plastic wrap or using a wet cloth will slow the drying rate and increase the ‘cooling sensation’. The plastic wrap enables you to leave the clay in place overnight and/or increases your mobility during the day, without the clay transferring to clothing or furniture.
Absolute Detox bath:
“Clay and water…those two lifelines are all you will often need to return your body to a state of optimal health,” states Perry A~, author of Living Clay, Natureﾒs Own Miracle Cure.
This is also a perfect natural skin treatment for the likes of eczema, shingles, rashes, psoriasis and other skin problems.
Yes, you will bathe in mud ! Turn your bath into a mineral mud spa, a wonderfully relaxing, detoxifying natural skin treatment, a "feel how incredible my skin feels" bath! Simply scatter (whilst avoiding to breath in the clay dust) 2 cups of this beautiful volcanic clay into hot water as it’s running and use your hands to whirl away any lumps of clay that might form. To avoid lumps altogether, you may ‘premix’ the clay to a liquid state by mixing approximately 1 part clay to 8 parts water in a shaker. Add essential oils, sea salt if you like. Submerge as much of your body as possible, dip your head in, let your hair and scalp get the wonderful mineral benefits! Relax and soak luxuriously in a hot bath for 15-20 minutes, not longer. It can be too taxing on your body if you overdo it. The more volcanic clay that is used in the therapy, the more powerful the response.
One bath releases years of accumulated toxic environmental pollutants out of your body and into the bathtub! Like magic!
Moisturize your skin and dress warmly until the pores close. Drink plenty of water, juices and teas to boost your energy and aid your digestion.
To begin with, it is recommended to take an Absolute Detox bath every 1 to 2 weeks until you reach 5 to 6 baths in total. Once completed, you can then reduce down to about twice per year.
You may also want to take volcanic clay foot baths every couple of weeks or once a month in between your twice-annually-complete-body-immersed. For children with health conditions, please go slowly! This clay is powerful and you need to go slowly and work up gradually to more clay or more time in the tub or more body exposure to volcanic clay water!
Following these directions for usage, for healthy individuals an Absolute Spa Detox bath has no known side effects.
If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, taking a prescription medication or are pregnant, you should consult your doctor before soaking in a clay bath. You can also use a volcanic clay foot bath instead.
Please keep the following in mind. You will need to scoop out as much of the volcanic clay residue out of the tub before draining the water as is possible, for clay can clog up your pipes and drains if not disposed of properly.
And if your bath has not turned very dark, you can scoop up some water and give it to your plants! It’s fabulous plant food !
DETOXIFICATION SYMPTOMS
Some normal symptoms from toxic elimination are nausea, light-headedness, a pulling sensation from various parts of the body and fatigue.
The occurrence of these symptoms simply means that the toxins are moving too fast. Just go slower and drink more water!
Absolute Foot bath:
Wear something comfy! Fill a container ½ full of very warm water, avoiding breathing in the volcanic clay dust, slowly add 1 to 2 cups of this beautiful clay, and mix with a whisk or hands until all the lumps are dissolved. A shaker works well also! Submerge your feet, relax and let the magic happen. Soak for 10 to 40 minutes.
For chronic and acute illnesses, always check with your doctor and begin with smaller amounts (i.e. ½ cup for 10 minutes) and then gradually work up to 1 cup for approximately 20 minutes.
Healthier individuals might start with 1 cup for 15 or 20 minutes, and gradually work up to 2 cups for 40 minutes.
Moisturize your skin and dress warmly until the pores close. Drink plenty of water, juices and teas to boost your energy and help your digestion.
If detoxification symptoms occur during the foot bath, just stop and remove your feet. Use less clay and take less time for soaking your feet during your next bath.
The foot baths are also a good idea for children and the elderly, as they are not as taxing on the body.
