French Red Clay comes from hematite iron. The red color is the result of the copper oxides. It is rich in iron and other minerals. It is used as a strong drawing clay. This means it draws out toxins in the skin. It is used in medicinal preparations, soap making, and cosmetics as well as other preparations.
French Red Clay powder is recommended for combination, normal or oily skin. People with very oily skin or acne can benefit from French Red Clay. It is used to reduce dryness, reduce flakiness and improves skin’s clarity, texture and elasticity.
It’s drawing capabilities make it very effective in treating poison ivy, poison oak, and other rashes. For poison ivy, and rashes, apply carefully to the area. Allow to dry and carefully rinse off. We don’t want the poison ivy spreading. Pat dry with clean towel. Be sure to use fresh towel each time you apply, so you don’t spread the rash.
To use clay, mix it with warm water until it forms a paste. Be sure to clean your face before applying clay. An herbal facial steam is a great way to do this.

Clay may be mixed with herbal infusions for more benefits to your skin.
