Preparing clay for a body wrap.

For a body wrap you will want the clay to be spreadable but not too watery.

Mixing ratio 2:1 ie 2 parts water to one part clay.

Add the clay to the water not the water to the clay.

It is a good idea to plan ahead and prepare the clay approximately 1-2 hours in advance.. This will give the clay plenty of time to hydrate. Preparing a large batch for future use is also a good idea.

For large amounts alternately layering the clay and water will ensure a more even mixture. Start with water then clay then water etc. Any excess water can be poured off.

No mixing is necessary.

1. Once it has become fully hydrated you will have a smooth paste that you can use for body wraps as well as facials.
2. Kneading and extra water may be necessary if it becomes slightly dry during storage.

Apply 2 – 10 ml thick of paste to the entire body. Cover with a warm damp towel.

Leave for 30 - 60 minutes. Remove with a damp cloth then rinse in the shower.
