Volcanic Ash

Apparently, the volcanic ash that has rendered the European airline industry into near standstill, as well as, causing untold problems for travellers, has some anti ageing benefits for the skin.The ash when mixed with water forms a clay. The clay, which contains an extensive concentration of a number of minerals have been found to have a number of healthy benefits to the skin. According to some. it helps to lift and firm the skin, exfoliates and lifts dead skin cells and reduces the appearance of cellulite. And there I was worried in case it appeared in my swimming pool - bring it on.
