What Is The Difference Between Mud and Clay?
Although clay and mud both come from the same earthy ground, mud is promoted more as a healing agent, whereas clay is more commonly used in cosmetic products, as it is a drying agent. It is a component found in many cosmetic foundations and powders. Clay also tends to be used as a clarifying agent in skin products because of its ability to remove matter suspended in liquid. Because clay's natural properties are oil balancing, it is especially useful and beneficial for acne prone clientele.
Mud is an ingredient that is used not so much for cosmetic purposes, but for healing purposes. Because of its water solubility, mud is a substance which allows the skin to absorb nutrients from it or other products applied along with it. This is a common function of mud in masks, body wraps, and other skin treatments. In America, mud has not been allowed to be labeled "medicinal" by the FDA. However, in many European, African and Asian countries, mud is considered by healthcare experts to offer specific medicinal properties.

Yeah well, you can't really play in there cause if you get even tiniest bit of that water in your eyes you will scream. And it's not really as comfortable as it looks in pictures - people go there for health reasons mostly, it's so hot and the sun is scorching, so you wouldn't really want to sit in it too long under the sun.
And you can't really swim in it - the water is too thick to really swim in it.... But it's a truly marvelous place, one of the seven wonders and worth visiting. |
