Silica

Silica is essential for healthy skin, hair and nails. More than that, a deficiency of this mineral will lead to premature aging, dry wrinkled skin, hair loss, brittle nails and other undesirable premature aging signs.

Fortunately silica is not only absorbed through the digestive tract but can also be absorbed through the skin. For instance, silica in the colloidal gel form is an excellent face mask.

Simply mix a teaspoon of gel with a teaspoon of pure water, and, using a cotton pad, apply the gel mix to the skin. It will feel cool and refreshing. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes during which time it will begin to tighten the facial tissue.

Take a face cloth wrung out in warm water and gently wipe off the mask. This simple, non-messy face mask is easy to apply and brings fast, noticeable results. Your skin will feel renewed, fresh and glowing. The mask is a clear silica gel with no preservatives or chemicals added.

After removing the mask apply a quality natural moisturizer. Not only will the silica mask give your complexion a healthy glow, but it will heal any minor skin irritations you may have.
