The Clean Dirt

A: Hi Claire,

This is not meant remove makeup. May created The Pendulum Potion especially to remove makeup. The Clean Dirt inactivated with water to make an exfoliating mousse. You can use it 1-4 times a week depending on your skin type for a deep cleanse and exfoliating treatment. I like to use it in the morning in the shower!

Warmly,

A: Hi Janelle,

The Clean Dirt is an exfoliating treatment cleanser. May recommends using it as often as you need to shampoo your hair—so more often if you're oily, less often if you're dry. The Honey Mud can be used daily as a nourishing milky cleanser, or left on as a decadent mask. If you wear makeup, May recommends The Pendulum Potion as your daily cleanser to remove the day.

Please feel free to give us a call +1 (323) 782-0421 and ask to speak with a skin coach, or simply email us at hello@thedetoxmarket.com. Our friendly staff will happily recommend a product that might suit you.

You can also order samples (4 for $7.99) to try things out before committing. Products eligible for sampling have a “SAMPLE IT” button to the right of the “ADD TO CART” button. Be sure you have selected your desired shade before adding the sample to your cart.

We hope you will be able to find the right product for your skin!

A: Hi Dany,

The Problem Solver is an intensive mask treatment that you mix with water to create a gorgeous clay mousse. You leave this on anywhere from a few minutes to an hour to boost circulation, draw out impurities, and brighten the skin. The Clean Dirt is an exfoliating cleanser. May recommends using it as often as you wash your hair (oily hair/oily skin more often). You mix in your hand with a little water to form a mousse, and massage on for a full minute before rinsing clean. We recommend doing this in the shower. Hope this helps!

Warmly,

A: Hi Joanna,

May Lindstrom's team have this to say:

"To address the ph question - baking soda on its own is alkaline, but the key in formulation is always proportion. Baking soda is just one ingredient, and while important, does not dictate the overall effect of the product. Alkalinity is not actually a bad thing, as too high of acid can certainly be equally harsh on the skin. This is simply one element to take into consideration. Sodium Bicarbonate can be incredible when used at proper ratio. It's an effective exfoliant, brightening and toning the skin, reducing congestion and stagnation, and providing natural antibacterial properties that are helpful in acne prone and reactive skin. It is important to balance the ph, and so we always use sodium bicarbonate in combination with vitamin C. These, along with mineral rich salts, come together to create the fizzing effect that both The Clean Dirt and The Problem Solver are known for. Besides being a fun experience, this reaction also has a positive effect on your complexion. In this state, sodium bicarbonate is neutralized, and provides the most gentle and loving care."

Hope this helps!

Warmly,
