Moroccan Red Clay - hair and beauty treatments

Red clay is one of my recent discoveries. I came across the name numerous times while surfing the Internet, and only read great reviews. I decided to make a purchase a few months back, and finally put this clay to use. Most of you know that I have tried several clays, and have been satisfied with each one. I try to keep them on hand and tend to use them more for my hair than for my face or body. My favorite clays are Indian clay and Kaolin clay.

If you're having a rough day, challenging week, or simply feeling overwhelmed or unenthusiastic about circumstances, I strongly urge you to make time for yourself. I find that I am able to think clearer, and my stress levels are reduced significantly after I practice self care. Sharing a few self care pics below; at home facial, read book alone in the car, or outside in the sun, make a fun (favorite drink) to enjoy alone, or try an at home mani/pedicure. I also find drawing and painting extremely relaxing. Perhaps you can take a walk or get your heart pumping by exercising. Try slower movements with yoga or pilates....
