Mayan Mud Mask
This ancient Mayan beauty remedy for both face and body purifies and hydrates the skin. It is an old healing remedy from the Highlands of Guatemala still used by Mayan shamans and locals. It is also used with warm or cold compresses for minor muscle pain or colds.
Each package contains mud for at least 20 masks. You can choose to wash it off or do it the Mayan way: just "roll" it off when it dries and use it over and over again!
Natural product from Guatemala and fair trade imported.
