- Why Glacial marine clay is so special?
- Glacial marine clay is composed of particles as fine as fog mist. The infinitesimal size of its particles is less than 0.001mm in size. Their amazing absorptive ability and net negative ion charge, attract positively charged bacteria, thereby detoxifies and exfoliates away dead skin cells and deep cleanses the skin.
|
- What is the difference between other clays or mud on the market?
- The main differences are the level of silicate and mineral content.
Dead sea mud is almost to glacial clay but the large difference is the level of sodium when it is first dug. It is dug on the shores of the Dead Sea and because of that, the salt levels are very high. It then has to be washed to remove the sodium and in doing so there is a loss of trace minerals.
Moorbad mud comes mainly from Austria. Mineral analysis is nothing like the glacial marine clay.
|
- Why is Glacial marine clay more costly?
- First of all it is a very rare lump of mud, extremely hard to locate. (gold is nothing but an inert lump of metal very hard to locate) The cost of recovering and processing this elusive element of nature is extremely time consuming and costly. Secondly, the benefits derived from clay, properly applied to the human body, far outstrip that of any other natural product sold on the world market today.
|
- What are the best uses for Ice Glacial marine clay?
- The most popular usage is as facial mask to exfoliate away dead skin. The positive ions and negative ions reaction induces a great rejuvenation process. This leaves the skin soft and smooth and ready for any foundation or cosmetic the client wishes to use.
Many European and North American Spas use the clay as full body wraps for exclusive treatments. This treatment relaxes the body and leaves the skin silky soft.
|
- Can the clay be used for hot or cold treatment?
- Temperatures will affect the properties of the clay. Depending on the type of spa treatment, you can either refrigerate or warm the clay with hot water before use.
Many Spas warm the clay for full body wrap.
For hot and humid climate, a cool facial application is very relaxing.
