(NewsTarget) Rhassoul clay has been used for 1400 years to ensure flawless skin. The nobility of ancient Rome and Egypt used these products to pamper themselves and keep their skin looking beautiful. Arabic countries have understood the rejuvenating effects of this purely natural mineral clay for generations. Today it is a favourite in luxury spas and health resorts throughout the globe because of its therapeutic properties that engender that natural glow.

The unusual name "Rhassoul" has its own little story: "Rhassoul" comes from the Arabic word "Ghassoul" which is a type of Moroccan clay or cleansing mud. "Ghassoul", on the other hand, stems from the Arabic word "ghassale", which basically means "to wash".

Clinically Proven for Skin Vitality

Two different research laboratories in the United States have conducted clinical studies to evaluate Rhassoul for skin conditions. The results are staggering.

Just a single application created an improvement in skin quality:

* Reduces dryness (79%)

* Reduces flakiness (41%)

* Improves skin clarity (68%)

* Improves skin elasticity / firmness (24%)

* Improves skin texture (106%)

* Removes surface oil and oil from the inside

* Removes dead skin layers, resulting in a general smoothing of the surface skin

Healing Clay from the Depths of the Earth

This remarkable reddish brown clay comes from under the Atlas Mountains in Eastern Morocco. The clay deposits come from deep within the earth, which make them difficult to obtain.

This depth of the clay is also what makes the clay rich in trace minerals. It contains higher amounts of Silica, Magnesium, Iron, Calcium, Potassium and Sodium than any other known clay. These minerals detoxify the skin by exchanging themselves for a variety of compounds including toxic metals and oils that create problem skin.

Silica is particularly known as the beauty mineral, and is a main ingredient in many skin, hair, and nail formulas. As we age, the supply of Silica in our bodies becomes depleted, resulting in wrinkled, dry skin, lackluster hair and brittle nails and bones. This healing clay replenishes these minerals into the skin to combat ageing.

In addition, the Rhassoul clay is a smectic, meaning that it swells with the addition of water. This creates a powerfully absorbing effect so cleansing, detoxification and skin treatment is particularly thorough.

Say Goodbye to Problematic Skin

Rhassoul is great for problematic skin and is particularly good for impure, oily skin.
Because it removes surface oil and oil from inside and around comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), it is a superb cleanser for those prone to acne.

There are absolutely no known side effects of Rhassoul. Even the most sensitive skin will flourish. Many people's chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis have cleared up when using this clay because it is so mild and free of pollutants.
