I was in awe the first time I saw the majestic landscape of Santorini, wrapped in her blanket of fine black sand. Enchanted, I walked through the island’s village, sensing an ambience of a bygone era still lingered. Her mystical beauty drew me further inland to the rocky mountainside, where a layer of Aegean black clay resides. Since ancient times, this bi-product of powdered earth, rocks and mineral salts, has been covertly harvested for its medicinal uses. Revered for its mineral rich, anti-oxidant properties, this gift from the earth helps detoxify the epidermis layer, by extracting a variety of toxic pollutants, resulting in improved skin clarity, elasticity and texture.
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, surly would have called this “nature’s Rx for derma therapy”.
