Magical jar of dirt

This jar looks like an ordinary jar of dirt. But it isn't just ANY ordinary jar of dirt. It has magical powers. It can detoxify your skin, refine the appearance of pores and wrinkles and soften your skin, thus making you look much younger. And all for under $10.

I do not follow the mixing instructions on the jar. I mix 1 T of the NOW Moroccan Red Clay powder with about 2 t of warm water. When it's mixed this way, it will look like liquid milk chocolate. Slather the mixture evenly all over your face and neck. Leave it on until it is dry. Rinse it off with water. I recommend washing your face before and after use of the masque. And always moisturize after you're done.

Now this may vary as far as your level of discomfort is concerned. The clay powder is formulated for sensitive skin but it can still cause some irritation. When the masque begins to dry, it will feel like it is shrinking the size of your face into something resembling a raisin. No need for alarm. This is the masque doing its magic.

Just a few words of caution - #1 This powder is very fine so it will get all over the place as any fine powder does. #2 It is very messy to rinse off. I recommend putting it on before your shower, waiting for it to dry, then rinsing it off in the shower. #3 Due to the color of the clay powder, it can stain. #4 Be very careful when you are applying it to your face. Avoid getting too close to the eyes. Also avoid the hairline and the eyebrow area. It makes it very difficult to rinse it out of the hair.

And just a little bonus, you can use it on your hands for younger-looking hands.
