Argiletz green clay paste 150 g: clay with no mixing needed

Mixing the powder, measuring the water, waiting, washing up the bowl: for many people, that is exactly what puts them off clay. Green clay paste skips all of those steps. The clay is already hydrated; you simply take the amount you need and apply it.

What is green clay paste?

It is simply green clay mixed with water and packed as a paste at the right consistency. What you gain in convenience you lose in freedom to adjust: the texture is fixed, but always even.

According to the product sheet, this is a green illite clay paste, carefully selected and suited to all your uses. Illite is one of the main groups of clay minerals and is often found in green clays. The 150 g size is the smallest of the paste sizes we stock.

Our druggist recommends it for external application, for purifying skin care.

How to use it

As a face mask

• Cleanse your skin and dry it.
• Take a hazelnut-sized amount of paste with a clean spatula or the back of a spoon.
• Spread it in a thin, even layer over the areas you want, such as the forehead, nose and chin, staying clear of the eyes and lips.
• Leave for a few minutes without letting it dry completely, then rinse off with lukewarm water.
• Finish with a cream suited to your skin type.

On a small area

The size also lends itself to targeted use: a thin layer on a shiny patch, on the back or shoulders, wherever you want some spot purifying care. Remove the clay before it hardens.

Why a small size?

• To try green clay before buying a bigger pack.
• To slip it into a toiletry bag for a weekend away or a holiday.
• To always have a ready-to-use clay on hand, alongside a powder kept for larger preparations.

Precautions

Using it well. For external use only. Test it on a small area before first use and avoid contact with the eyes. Argiletz states that green clay must not be applied to open wounds. Always take the paste out with a clean utensil rather than your fingers, and close the packaging tightly so it does not dry out. Ask for advice before using it on a child, during pregnancy or if your skin is very reactive. Keep out of the reach of children.
