Cattier ready-to-use green clay is used in facial masks and for poultices, due to its beneficial action on the skin and body. It may be used alone or with essential oils.
Absorbent, purifying and regenerating, Cattier green clay is especially well-suited to the care of combination to oily skins. It absorbs and regulates excess sebum, eliminates toxins and impurities, revitalises the skin and encourages cellular renewal. It also has antiseptic and softening properties. With its high micro-nutriment content, it provides the skin and body with minerals and oligoelements. Cattier green clay also has a healing and remineralising effect, alleviates joint and muscular pains, soothes burns, sore throats (when combined with essential oil of lavender), abscesses, scars and skin irritations, in addition to bloating and other stomach discomfort.

Advice for use
-For a facial mask: Apply the clay paste in a thick coat over the face and neck, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Leave on for approximately 10 minutes without allowing the mask to dry on the skin. Rinse off with tepid water and dry the skin with a cotton towel. Complete the treatment by applying a moisturising cream.

-As a poultice: Place the clay paste on a piece of natural fibre and, using a non-metallic spatula, spread it over to a thickness of 2-3 centimetres. Lay the poultice with the clay directly in contact with the skin and hold it in place, but not too tightly, with a bandage. If the poultice needs to be applied to an irritated area, lay some fine gauze between the clay and skin. Leave the poultice in place for at least an hour. When it comes to taking it off, remove as much of the clay as possible, wetting it if necessary, then rinse off with
tepid water and dry with a cotton towel.
