Spa Day - Earth's Living Green Clay (w/ video!)

I love beauty products, and since going Raw Vegan I've made it a point to use products that are seriously natural. (I've written posts about some my favorite products here, here and here, and I'd like to add to that list... for makeup, check out 100% Pure - this stuff is AWESOME!!!)

Today, I'm having a spa day and enjoying some relaxing time with a fantastic clay mask. It's great for drawing out impurities, detoxing your skin, and exfoliating so you have soft, gorgeous, glowing skin. The clay is called Earth's Living Green Clay and you can buy a bag of it here. (**For better value, I highly recommend doing what I did and buying the 4-pack and saving some money.)

It's easy to use and easy to make (oh! and super fun!). Simply mix the clay with some water (1 part clay:2 parts water, and if you're sassy like me you'll use rose water or orange blossom water like I discuss in the video). Let the clay stand 2-3 hours to gel, and slather it on your body. Good times. (What's with that expression below as the still video shot??? - LOL)

Michelle said...

Wink wink "uncooked"

Your too cute for words. Get that suitcase unpacked or come back to NYC!!!

Michelle said...

I don't put that shit on my feet!!! Can I quote you on that??? HEHE!!!

Kristen's Raw said...

Hehe! Sometimes my potty mouth gets loose. ;)

Green Girl said...

Hi Kristen,

How long will 1 bag last if I did a facial 2 to 3 times a week? Do you think that's too many times?

Kristen's Raw said...

Oh honey, I don't know how long a bag will last. I bought the 4 pack and gave one to a friend, transferred the other three bags ofpowder to a glass mason jar. You can go to the website and calculate the total weight vs the weight of maybe tablespoon. Maybe use a tablespoon per mask? Heck, I don't know. Sometimes I put it on thick, sometimes I do it nice and thin. I actually don't even know how much I mix at a time either - LOL. I tend to make enough to last me the week and then do a couple treatments. Sometimes, I use it just as a spot treatment on a blemish or I cover my face, neck and arms.

You might email the people at the link I gave you and ask them.

It should last a decent amount of time, but again, depends on the amt you use and how often.

Stephanie said...

So glad you're doing videos! I LOVE it! I am gonna check out getting this clay mask ASAP.

Also wondering if you still like the Morrocco Method haircare products. I found them at a store here locally in Phx and am so impressed with the ingredients. I remember you saying you loved them and hope you still do!! It always helps to have a real-life endorsement. :)

"Baby butt smooth!"

"I don't put that shit on my feet!"


Can I love you any more than I already do???

And, she talks about the importance of pooping while traveling!

Lordy.

Would someone puhleeeeze get this girl a TV show?

Kristen's Raw said...

Hahaha, Hi Earthmother :))) Thanks for the support! Glad you liked the video ;)

Kristen's Raw said...

Hi Stephanie,
Yes, I still use Morrocco Method and I still love it. It's weird stuff, but what can I say? It works for me and I feel good using something so natural and healthy for my body.

Cecilia said...

Kristen, you are very beautiful :)
Can you use that clay on the whole body ?

Kristen's Raw said...

Hi Cecilia,
Thank you so much, your comment is kind!

Yes, you can most definitely use it on your whole body!

Kristen's Raw said...

PS! uhhh.... don't put it in your eyes or your who-ha though!

Girl on Tour said...

OMG you are too freakin cool. Love the who-ha comment. I cannot wait to meet you in the flesh!!!! And the TV show! YESSSSSS, you are made for television you sexy beast. It's only a matter of time! Love you SS!!!xxx

Kristen's Raw said...

hehehe, SS! You are so hilarious... love you!

CoconutGal said...

You are so fun, I love that you are doing videos now! I am checking out the 100% Pure website-- I have been using Zosimo's for the longest time but this stuff sounds awesome! What do you buy from them (eye makeup, facial, lipstick)?
I'm sorry I already asked but I think you may have missed my question... how long do your dressings keep in the fridge? Like the raw mustard? We had your Jolly Green Dressing tonight, slurped it up, delish!!
Thanks Kristen :)
Oh! One more question! My juicer broke and I am having a hard time deciding between a less expensive juicer like the Breville or a Greenstar... how much of a pain in the butt is it to clean? How many parts are there? Do you think it's unrealistic to use the Greenstar everyday because it's so hard to clean?
Ok I'm done now! xoxo

Kristen's Raw said...

Hi Coconut Gal,
Thanks for stopping by. Glad you're liking the videos! :)

I think I answered the dressing question somewhere, but I can't remember where. They keep for 3-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Glass mason jars are best.

Hhhmmm Breville or Green Star... Honestly, if you can afford it, the GreenStar is one of the best. You'll have it for many years and the juice is higher quality. It takes longer to use and a little longer to clean, but worth it in the end. It's not unrealistic to use the GreenStar every day, although I'm not sure what your days are like. The Breville is lightning fast, that's for sure. The GreenStar gives you more juice from your produce and you can actually juice one day and store the juice for a couple of days, making it easier than juicing every day. Hope that helps.

For 100percent Pure, I have lipgloss, powder blush, eye cream stick, concealer and some other goodies. I'm pleased with the results of everything so far. I also like Zosimos. I still use her loose face powder. And, I like Coastal Classic Creations red lipstick in a pot.

Cheers,
Kristen

Hey lovely Kristen, You may have already answered this but where do you get the rose water? I am interested in that stuff.
Thanks! I put some green clay that I had around on today and it felt great. Thank for reminding me about it. I will probably also order some. I love RawFoodWorld.

Kristen's Raw said...

I usually get it at Whole Foods but any Middle Eastern Market has it, too.

Anonymous said...

I have a question,

1/ how long do you keep the clay on? Till it is dry?

If you do let the clay dry do you find it itchy? I have another clay mask that I use and it becomes REALLY itchy as it dries..

Thanks!

Kristen's Raw said...

Yes until it's dry and yes it can be itchy in places.
