It can also be used as a full-body treatment to soften dry, rough skin.  It acts as a magnet, penetrating deep into the skin layers and drawing out impurities.  It can stimulate the blood circulation, remove dead skin cells, and freshen skin and with it’s natural properties that are absorbed into the skin, it aids healing to the cells under it!  It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.*On a medical side of it, according the the Arizona State University report, the researchers have found French green clay effective in inhibiting Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Mycobacterium marinum, bacterial pathogens that cause serious and sometimes drug-resistant skin infections.
