LIGNE ST BARTH Green Clay Mask with Pineapple 1.7 oz

The pineapples that LIGNE ST BARTH uses have been fully grown in the West Indies sun. Once perfectly ripened, the pineapples are peeled and cut up by hand before being incorporated into the Cream Mask formula. The combination of pineapple extract and green clay is especially recommended for oily or combination skins, due to its mattifying, purifying and toning effects. Benefits: PINEAPPLE : A plant native to South America, the pineapple was introduced into the West Indies by the American Indians and was discovered by Christopher Columbus in Guadeloupe in 1493. It belongs to the Bromeliaceae family and is renowned primarily for its juicy, refreshing fruit. The name “pineapple” comes from the American Indian Guarani word, “naná naná”, which means “the perfume of all perfumes”. It was originally used in the West Indies as a poultice to accelerate the healing of wounds. Rich in bromelain (an enzyme that breaks down large proteins), pineapples are reputed for their slimming properties. The fruit is prized for its ability to purify, soothe and restore radiance to your tint, reinforced by the exfoliating effect of the fruit acid it contains. GREEN CLAY : Used for thousands of years, clay is a mild, naturally occurring mineral product. It is the result of a long process of erosion taking place within the natural environment. Produced from the combined action of wind and water, it is extracted from the ground, dried in the sun and ground to a very fine powder. Green clay is rich in trace elements with purifying, mattifying, regenerative and remineralising qualities. It is also ideally suited for oily or a combination skin due to its absorbing properties (the most effective of all clays), with the ability to absorb impurities and excess sebum.
