The GreenTeaPowder.com Body Wrap
Ingredients:
8 cups of hot RO or distilled water
1 cup Premium Green Tea Powder
2 cups of preferred clay for skin type*
1 cup natural sea salt
While there are many types of clay for different skin types*, we recommend French green clay and Moroccan red clay for general body wrap purposes. Heat water (do not boil) to 185° F or 85° C, the optimal temperature to release the beneficial health properties of green tea powder. Sift green tea powder into hot water and stir. Add sea salt and clay to mixture and continue to mix until paste like consistency. If possible maintain a constant 185° F temperature while mixing ingredients to maximize the yield and bioavailability of beneficial compounds found in green tea powder. Allow mixture to cool until comfortable for application on body.
