fun with mud....

your always told not to play in the mud when your a kid, but its ok for adults to pay top dollar for beauty treatments that involve soaking in it or being wrapped up like a mummy with a layer of it hardening bellow...

so i spotted a pack of dead sea mud somewhere recently and tried it out yesterday morning before i really got going. i had a hot bath first to open up the pores then let the water drain out.

for mud it doesn't smell too bad, this one had aloe vera mixed in too it. so goopy handfulls get applied all over myself, trying to cover me totally. i worked into my hair (kinda ending up with sculptured do) and all over my face. i was totally black at the end of it.

i laid down and waited, rested calmly. after about 10 min or so i could feel my face start to freeze up. wow! what a feeling. it got too the point i couldn't really move much of my face without cracking. so i just lay there in the bath while it slowly hardened up.

about another 10-15 min later i felt i had to get on with the day and started the bath running again.

what a mess. i totally trashed my face clothe which is still black and after rinsing out the bathtub twice now it still has sediment in it. the towel needs a deep clean too as well as the bath mat. i see why they charge so much at the spa - not for the mud but for the clean up.

yet i tingled all over after i was out of it and the feeling of it just slowly hardening was devine. i can now really relate too those women being converted into mannequins and statues now...

i'm going to try it again sometime soon.... maybe i'll use plaster....
