ALL NEW!!! FORGET THE SOAP
Who says you have to have soap to get clean- and I mean clean? Ditch the soap and try this beauty secret. No drying skin. No itchiness. No chemicals. Straight out of nature. Everyone has got to have one. RAW & WILD!
Skin can often become overly dry and brittle from over usage of soap. Your face can be brilliantly clean and pleasantly hydrated at the same time by using this age-old secret of this nomadic tribe. Traveling through dusty drought lands beside cattle with children in tow, the women of Somaliland and Ethiopia find purifying relief from the leaves of the wild gob tree. Pesticide free leaves are dried and crushed into a fine powder which they mix with water to form a mask. High in saponins, this natural powder beautifully cleanses the skin while it lightly exfoliates. Not only will Qasil Soap-Free Cleansing Herb make your skin beautiful, you will feel good knowing that this sustainable product provides a source of income for women living below the poverty line.
This is just the pure powder in the bottle so your NOT paying for the water. Simply place 1/2 tsp. in bowl. Add hot water, enough to make a semi-liquid mask. Apply warm mask to face and set 5-15 minutes. Apply water to face and gently work the scrub into face, and then rinse off.

Do you Draw?
(We mean your face silly! Discover why the women of Malagassy do it.)
Have you ever looked at the skin of a Malagassy woman? Women of Madagascar have brilliantly flawless skin. Largely living under the poverty line, not being able to afford expensive washes, masks and beauty creams, how come their skin is often more beautiful than people who spend thousands to look good? Their secret is in the mask. Exotic pictures of the Malagassy people often pop up here and there with their white painted faces. This is not voodoo or animism. This is a beauty ritual that dates back thousands of years.
The Malagassy women of Madagascar apply to their faces a special white clay that they source from the wild of their island nation. They wear the mask to protect their faces from the sun and to maintain flawless skin without the use of sometimes hard to find and or afford soaps. The clay draws out impurities in the skin bringing them to white heads which can then be extracted. Unlike many white clays, the white clay of Madagascar does not dry out skin. In fact it leaves the skin pleasantly soft.
Put 1/2 tsp. of clay in a bowl. Add enough hot water to it to make into a semi-liquid mask. Apply to face. Can be worn for as little as 30 minutes or all day and night. Rinse off well with tepid water. Repeat 2-5 days a week.

Why aren't you Detoxing?
Delicate facial skin needs regular maintenance to ward off evil little free radicals, bacteria and other foreign bodies actively attacking healthy cells. This amazing little jar is action packed with detoxifying minerals collected from across Africa. From the Moroccan Atlas we gather ghassool clay. Rich in silicon and magnesium, ghassool clay naturally pulls toxins from the skin as it softens and purfies.
We next travel to ancient inland salt pans of the Kalahari Desert. This pristine area is abundant with mineral rich salts formed underground. This iodine free salt is rich in potassium, magnesium, sulfur and othertrace elements and minerals. The salt effectively pulls toxins from the skin. Our next journey takes us further south off the western shores of South Africa where we have collected ecklonia maxima sea kelp. Ecklonia maxima is one of the most preferred sources of sea kelp for stimulating plant growth. High in naturally occurring iodine and other trace elements and minerals, ecklonia maxima pulls toxins from the skin and may decrease some swelling. Rich in alginates, amino acids, enzymes and vitamins, ecklonia maxima sea kelp helps to hydrate skin.
Our detox journey next takes us to the other side of the continent into the Indian Ocean to the island nation of Madagascar where skin detox is a ritual affair. Often seen in beauty masks of white or yellow, the people of Madagascar apply face masks daily for flawless skin. We have collected a white clay very different from drying kaolin or bentonite. The clay draws impurities from the skin without causing dryness common in other white clays. We also collect green clay from this region which contains plant and micro-algae matter in addition to a multitude of minerals. This unique green clay helps to stimulate skin while absorbing impurities.
Mix a half tsp. with very hot water, enough to make a semi liquid mask. Allow salt to dissolve completely. Apply warm mask to face. Allow to set 10-15 minutes. Wash off with tepid water. Repeat 1-2 times a week.

.Discover the powers of
Africa's Secret Sausage Fruit
|
Kigelia Africana
Now in pure powder form!
Firm your face and decollete area while repairing sun damage utilizing the amazing powers of the African sausage fruit- Africana kigelia. Native women in southern parts of Africa where the tree is indigenous, have used the fruit on their faces and breast as a firming treat for centuries.The fruits anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties help to maintain healthy skin. Kigelia Africana's anti-inflammatory properties aid in decreasing inflammation and redness of the skin.
What is even more amazing about kigelia Africana, however, can be found in a modern scientific discovery. While looking at the effects that kigelia Africana has been offering native users, scientists discovered that kigelia Africana actually decreased melanoma cancer cells. Apparently the fruit destroys the cancer's cell lines. While Shea Terra Organics can not make medical claims, we do highly recommend Kigelia Africana Face & Decollete Masque become part of a daily regimen used to combat the effects of sun damage along with other sun protection treatments.
