Can this clay be used as a body wrap or a hair mask, and how do I do it properly? — Siberian clay, toning phytocosmetic 155ml

Yes, this powder is intended for face masks, body wraps, and hair masks. For a body wrap, make a thicker paste by mixing the powder with water until the mixture holds its shape when scooped. Apply an even layer to areas where you want a firmer, more toned sensation after rinsing — for example, thighs, upper arms, or abdomen. Leave it for 10–15 minutes, or until it begins to pull slightly, then rinse off in a warm shower. Do not let it dry into a hard crust; that makes rinsing more abrasive. Skip areas with broken skin, sunburn, or fresh scars.

For a hair mask, mix the powder with enough water to form a loose, creamy paste rather than a stiff clay. Apply it to damp hair from roots to ends, covering the scalp if you have oily scalp or visible buildup. Leave it for 5–10 minutes, then rinse very thoroughly with lukewarm water. Because mineral clay binds oil and residue, hair can feel cleaner and lighter afterwards — the product description describes the effect as “lighter rather than coated.” That makes it a better fit for oily hair than for very dry, brittle lengths.

Before using the clay on large body areas, on the scalp, or if you have sensitive skin, do a patch test on a small area such as the inner forearm: apply a small amount, wait 10–20 minutes, and rinse. If the skin burns, itches, or turns red, do not use it on a wider area. As with the face, never leave a body or hair mask until the clay crumbles; the absorbent effect does not get stronger with time, it just becomes harder to rinse.
