Premium 1 lb Bentonite Clay Pure, Natural Detoxifying Clay for Face Masks, Hair Care & More - Best Healing Clay - USA Made

Our family has been using bentonite clay for many many years now. I especially like to buy from the USA like this one is from. Seems like a good quality.We use it for bug bites mostly, ticks, spiders, bee stings, etc. It works very well for brown recluse spider bites! We also use it to draw out infections in the skin. I will place it on a guaze pad, (antibacterial is best) wet it slightly with tea tree oil, place it on the affected area (not an open wound) and put plastic wrap over it, then sports wrap around or medical tape to hold it in place. Change every few hours. There are other uses for it but this is our family favorite. I'm not a doctor so please consult your's.

Great product

I'm in complete awe of this product. I've been very blessed to have the skin I have for the past 24yrs with minimal facial issues (acne, blackheads, large pores, etc.). The past 6 months I've been breaking out very frequently, the pores on my cheeks and nose have become noticeably larger which have given numerous blackheads a home, and none of the various things I tried, many any difference at all.MY EXPERIENCE: My first mask I had no idea how much clay to use and used 1Tbls clay (WAY too much) and 2 Tbls ACV. The consistency was perfect but there was too much mask and not enough face. I left it on for about 30-45min and took it off while showering. **side note: the mask is most definitely CLAY and is not the easiest to remove, especially if you put a good layer on. I'm not saying thick is bad, I'm just saying, be prepared for it to take a few minutes.** After showering my face was softer and my nose pores were noticeably smaller. I put witch hazel on a cotton ball and applied it all over my face. SECOND MASK: I used 1tsp of clay and added ACV until I had the consistency I wanted. This time I could feel the mask working and after 30-45min my face was a little itchy by the dryer areas (outlining of face). I removed it with warm water and a wash cloth this time and let it rest over the area for a few seconds before beginning to remove it. Once it was off, you could tell exactly where the mask was because my face was red which is totally normal. I ended up having a few break outs after the second time but I realized those were areas that I had had "unground" blemishes. The hardest part for me was letting those areas heal and not pick at them. I also didn't wear make up the past week to get the full affect.**warning** the smell when you combine the clay and apple cider vinegar will definitely shock you. I think it's a worth dealing with for the results you end up with!I did my first bentonite clay & apple cider vinegar a week ago and CANNOT believe the difference. The crap it pulled out of my pores earlier in the week is now gone. My face is smoother than I can ever remember and my pores are even smaller than they were prior to my face going rouge months ago. I didn't take before photos because I didn't expect anything to really happen. I'm having my sister try and will be doing before/after photos of her skin which is the same as mine only worse when it comes to blackheads, acne, and large pores.

Decent product nothing out of the ordinary with it.

Here are a couple things I like about this mask:-The pores definitely feel clean after rinsing off.-The face does show a definite brightness after ringing off.-Blemishes do decrease in size.-The tingling sensation (maybe I'm the very few who actually likes it).-The amount of product (a little does go a long way).One best thing I love about this mask is that I am actually seeing improvements on my skin. When I used other masks (like Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque), I only saw an improvement after rinsing off the mask, and the morning after. A couple days later, my pores would get clogged again from wearing makeup and being outside, to which then I would wear the Mint Masque again, and the pores would clear out.The cycle isn't the same with this mask. I am actually feeling my skin becoming smooth. When I take off my makeup, I'm not struggling with the wipe. I can glide the wipe over my face, minus cringing at how much I have to dig at my skin to remove the makeup.***Now, the one con I do find with this mask is the mixing part. I have tried ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar), and while the mixture was smooth, my face felt irritated afterwards. During the next facial treatment, I tried mixing it with water, and the mixture was clumpy and the mask didn't perform well. But, the water mixture didn't irritate my face, and I stuck with this method ever since.I did read that people struggled with mixing this mask (with water, if ACV didn't turn out positive for them), and I personally found a method that works 100% for me:Just simply get this mask, a glass jar (whatever glass jar you own), a plastic spoon, and water.1) Place a small amount of the mask into the jar.2) Pour a small amount of water.Repeat those two steps in a technique that I call the 'lasagna method', where the mask and water are added in layers.3) Once you have your desired amount, close the jar, and shake.The end goal is to have a semi-smooth paste. Add more water, if needed, and shake a bit more.Leave this mixture alone for 8+ hours (either overnight, or while you're doing your daytime activities, if you want to use this at night). The mixture will eventually become smooth and easier to use.*I mean, you could use the mask on the spot, but it'll still be slightly clumpy, so just leave it alone for 8+ hours for better results.Apart from the face, I've also used this mask in my hair. It really does take away the stink in the hair, along with product residue from dry shampoo, hair spray, leave in conditioner, and all other styling products. The hair is left soft and manageable. There is no weird/offensive odor after rinsing out the product.In addition, I've also used this on the armpits, and I find that I don't even have to wear deodorant anymore. Granted, it is winter in America, but even then, I didn't have to wear any sort of antiperspirant when I used this treatment during the warm weather.Overall, I highly recommend purchasing this mask.
