How Natural Black Mud Mask from the earth transforms your skin

The earth is negatively charged and represents a reserve of negative ions. This reserve is naturally supplied with certain ions by rainwater and certain soil bacteria. Ions - have been called "air vitamins". Peat muds like MOOR are negatively charged. When skin care products made out of pure mood mud or natural black mud mask is applied to the skin, the skin barrier generally known to block ordinary skin care and cosmetic ingredients easily allows negative ions to pass through the skin - working naturally and delivering superior beauty results.

Moor Therapy & Natural Black Mud Mask Origins

Since ancient times, the use of natural mud has been called FANGOTHERAPY (derived from the term FANGO) or PELOTHERAPY (from the Greek PELOS = mud). This sludge has been used on site for therapeutic purposes since ancient times. Pliny (23-79 AD), the great naturalist, author and philosopher, in his "Natural History", writes about the beneficial uses of mud and thermal water since Greeks and Romans. An empirical way, at a time when there was no scientific measuring device, local customs or observations often refer to the healing of wounded animals that had rolled in the mud. Prehistoric remains (paintings, sculptures, objects) venerating the gods have been found near the thermal spas, which proves the very ancient use of these sites. These often hot mud and water gushing out of the earth had a supernatural power for these ancient peoples who found in these places a relief to their ills. Temples deifying these springs were erected near these stations.

In France, the Gauls had their god of springs, Borvo, whose derivatives gave rise to spas such as Bourbonne, Bourbon Lancy, Le Bourboule and Barbotan. The Romans invading Gaul and great builders of the thermalism, are going to associate the Gallic and Latin divinities. The first period of prosperity of the thermalism was Gallo-Roman.

The Healing Power of Moor Muds & Natural Black Muds

Each so-called "thermal" mud differs in its composition, its mode of application or its therapeutic action. However, a definition was given in 1949 in Dax by the International Society of Medical Hydrology: "A peloid is a natural product consisting of a mixture of mineral water (including sea water and salt lake water) with organic or inorganic matter, the result of geological and biological processes, used for therapeutic purposes in the form of wraps or baths". The mud was classified in different ways according to the different elements. As a general rule, mud can be classified in 2 categories:

1. Peat Mud

The residue of the slow progressive decomposition of plants more or less mixed with mineral matter, often called MOOR, a Germanic term meaning peat. Peat takes several hundred years to create. The chemical composition varies with the degree of decomposition and according to the depths sampled. It has a sanitizing power (used during the Napoleonic wars as a bandage) and a preserving power (trees in good condition, animals and all kinds of objects have been found). The Moor Research Institute and the International Moor Research Society have demonstrated through numerous congresses that the effects of moor are based on the following 5 characteristics:

Astringent, Absorbent, Ion Exchanger, Cellular Stimulation, Anti-inflammatory.

2. Alluvium or sediment:

The residues abandoned by underground rivers or not, or a mixture of a clay substrate and a biological phase or of volcanic origin. Sedimentary mud is generally poor in plants (unlike peat) but very rich in minerals. The richness in trace elements and minerals explains their interest in cosmetics.

Ionic energy for Natural Beauty

City air is charged with large positive (+) ions and low in negative (-) ions. Oxygen is charged with negative ion. Positive ions create damage to our cellular structure and therefore affects our natural beauty negatively. The positive ions can be created by certain winds, storm clouds, smoking, synthetic materials, heating and air conditioning systems, automotive, industrial and domestic pollution. The most dangerous are the cathode ray tubes, real positive ion cannons and computer screens that trap ions. Ions  are formed under the influence of:

• The chlorophyll function of terrestrial and aquatic plants (release of oxygen loaded with ions).
• UV rays above 1000 m altitude.
• Soil radioactivity.
• Storms.
• Air friction on certain plants: tribo-electricity or the CORONA effect.
• The LENARD effect: shock of moving water on the rocks or shock of water droplets between them (hence the presence of 50,000 ions - at the foot of a waterfall in the mountains.

To maintain the stability and shelf life or man made skin care and cosmetics, beauty product manufacturers use neutral ingredients, which your skin does not absorb well. Therefore, ordinary skin care underperforms. With Remy Laure Natural Black Mud Mask for Moor Therapy, the negative ions are maintained in their natural form to enhance absorption and efficacy. With Remy Laure's Natural Black Mud Mask in Moor Therapy, you enjoy far greater results than possible with ordinary cosmetics.
