Shailene Woodley eats clay

Shailene Woodley detoxes by eating clay.

The 'Divergent' actress maintains a strictly organic beauty regime and picked up one in every of her most uncommon habits from a taxi driver, who advised her to ingest a supplement of bentonite clay to scrub the heavy metals out of her system.

She explained in an interview with IntoTheGloss.com: ''He was African and was saying that, where he is from, the women eat clay once they're pregnant ... So, I've discovered that clay is nice for you because your body does not absorb it, and it apparently provides a negative charge, so it bonds to negative isotopes.

''And, this is often crazy: it also helps clean serious metals out of your body. My friend starting eating it and the following day she called me and said, 'Dude, my s**t smells like metal.' She was extremely worried, but we tend to did some research along and everything said that when you first begin eating clay, your bowel movements, pee, and even you, yourself, will smell like metal.''

The eco-friendly actress has found natural remedies for each Hollywood beauty trick, specifically rinsing her mouth out with sesame oil instead of obtaining her teeth whitened.

Shailene added: ''I love a natural way to heal. You will do something known as 'oil pulling' where you swish coconut or sesame oil in your mouth once you wake up and spit it out.

''It's wonderful! It very makes your teeth whiter, because the plaque on your teeth isn't water soluble, it's fat-soluble.''

The 22-year previous star additionally made the stunning confession that she only washes her short hair once a month.

She joked: ''I solely shampoo it like once a month - the oilier, the better.''
