Enjoy
this soft and aromatic ingredient only where the healing
properties of the Thailand's mineral rich mud remain both a
mystery and a secret. As a mask, its healing properties are
unsurpassed. For one, it cleanses and purifies like all good
masks does. But the Thai mud does not dry out the skin like the
other masks. Instead, it leaves behind a silky smooth film which
protects and nourishes the skin. That's why this unique pure
substance has been used by the Thais and Laotians to protect
their skin from the harsh arid environment. It is known that the mud comes from
the north of the country where natural springs abound. The white
mud has been credited for the renowned beauty of Northern
Thailand's womenfolk. The mud can
be mixed with other ingredients into a luscious paste that
feels
soft and silky when applied to the skin.
The
mud, with its gypsum mineral content, can be applied in its
natural state. They are made in small, white balls, forming the
ultimate in skin food. Alternatively, they can be combined with
other perfumed powder for scented skin, or used as a body scrub to
combat skin disease - even repair pus infested wounds. Its use is
wide ranging.
The traditional use of medicinal clay has been handed down as a
means to cool the body. It is also used in rituals to adorn the
skin. This medicinal clay is hand-sifted, sun-dried, and hand
powdered. The soft powder is traditionally blended with flower
or herbal waters, and is then applied to problem areas to
cleanse the skin. It is also used on some Indonesian islands in
times of mourning and purification.
Upon
