Mother Earth has gifted us with so many amazing ingredients to heal and treat the skin and body. And while active and synthetic ingredients do have their place in our treatment rooms for especially hard-to-treat conditions, natural and plant-based ingredients deserve to be recognized for both their beauty and efficacy.

This month’s Clay & Mud Guide highlights several Earth ingredients that aid in detoxifying, toning and healing the skin. Oftentimes, the most powerful and effective treatments come from combining natural and synthetic ingredients for a holistic approach that packs a punch. If you are an esty who prefers cosmeceutical products, stay tuned for next month’s Cosmeceuticals Guide!
