Mud Body Wrap

This body wrap removes toxins from the skin and gives skin a healthy glow.

Materials:

1/2 cup powdered clay

1/4 cup powdered kelp

1/4 cup distilled water

1/4 cup sea salt

1/2 cup aloe vera gel

basic shower curtain or plastic wrap

Preparation:

Blend ingredients together in a bowl to form a smooth paste.  Generously spread paste all over your body.  Lay some plastic wrap or a shower curtain down in a bath tub and lay on top of it.  Wrap the plastic completely around yourself.  Relax to soothing music as you allow the mud to dry. You may find that the clay itches a bit as it dries.  If it becomes too uncomfortable, gently pat the clay with a little water.  After 30 minutes rinse the mud off with warm water. Pat dry and follow up with a hydrating moisturizer.
