Aztec Secret– Indian Healing Clay 16 Oz – Deep Pore Cleansing Facial & Body Mask – The Original 100% Natural Calcium Bentonite Clay – New Version 2

This is the best ive used for my skin so far, and theres no need to look elsewhere. I added some dried rose petals that was from an order consisting of spa products from morocco. And ive been using it once a week instead of twice, its that effective! First I use a scrub on my face, then a good steam over the boiling teapot, blot lightly and put this mixed with water straight on. There was a time that I didn't get up to rinse after 15-20 minutes, and it got a little painful for me, but that was totally my fault. I felt the tightening happening, and saw my eyebrows lifted and pulled closer together-so funny! And the pulsating sensation that it claims to give and the other reviewers mentioned is actually your pulse beat! Yea it pulls that hard on your pores and skin! I could see the oil pooling up like little grease spots on my nose, it pulled it all outta there. And since i had scrubed and steamed first, my nose and chin and forehead were completely blackhead free after my first use! My nose had always had small blackheads in it, with only a prescription "aquaius based" benzoyl peroxide ever getting rid of them, which I wont use anymore, its too drying. My face was in a sort of sunburned state after rinsing, both in appearance and how it stung a little. But that went away just fine later on and dont let that stop you from trying it, its totally worth it! I wish Id known about this when I was in high school!...And my skin is the softest its ever going to get when im done with my mask, just be sure to moisturize with something, I use cocoa butter, olive oil from the kitchen, shea butter, rose hip oil, whatever is on hand. If you dont have anything around, even vaseline might work, because you're going to be dry and tight. I dont have bumps or "pimples" but I definitely think this mud mask will help clear it up, and I plan to recommend it to anyone who asks, even guys. Using a mask or caring for your face is not a girl thing to do, its a skin thing...if that makes any sense...Even if it were to pull up more sebum, or create a few more oncoming pimples, I will say for sure that with proper use (following directions), or even taking the steps I did, that it will clear up your skin. Im older, and I notice a huge difference with the softness of my skin, its not coarse or dry anymore and my child-like rosy glow is back! My makeup goes on better, my lines around my eyes are barely there, and my pores are smaller,....oh! and I dont have as much oil round my nose as before I used this. So Id say it really does everything it claims to, and all those positive things other people are saying. I bought a 2 pound container and Im pretty sure even with regular use it will last me years. I use one spoonful in a cup with only enough water to make it a thick mask, then the mask itself is in between thick and heavy and light..it doesnt matter if its too thin, its going to work! I let it dry till I cant take the pulsating -heartbeat-in-my-face feeling, and rinse with cool water. Love this!

I started using Borax 20 Mule Team with Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay in a warm bath as part of my quiet self-care time, and I’ve really come to enjoy this little routine. I usually soak for about 20 minutes, and when I get out I just feel calm, refreshed, and like I gave myself a moment to reset. I like that both products are simple, unscented, and affordable, without a lot of extra ingredients. They’ve become an easy, peaceful part of taking care of myself during busy days. Everyone’s experience can be different, but this combination has felt really nice for me, and I’d definitely buy both again.

*Disclaimer = This is not an advertisement of any kind but it is a more extensive review than most. Ok all of you with #SkinIssues ~ #Acne, #discoloration, #agespots, #wrinkles, #pores, #scars I know how hard it is for some of us and how expensive some of the "solutions" out there are, so I'm going to share something with you that you're going to thank me for. I've battled #SevereAcne my whole life. I think I've tried everything that is out on the market. I even took something called Acutane in highschool that was so powerful that I remember each pill being individually wrapped with a No Symbol over a picture of a pregnant lady. Out of frustration I began researching and trying almost every skin product that is in the market and compiling reviews from multiple sources. After some trial and error I've found something that is almost magic. I now have a routine of four things that has erased all acne, discoloration and smoothed my wrinkles & scars in two weeks. Here it is: First the facial cleaner (which I believe can be substituted with anyones favorite but I've found this one to work the best for me): 1. #Avene Cleansing Foam http://www.amazon.com/Avene-Cleansing-Foam-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B00BGCX63O?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 2. #MarioBadescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater (Amazon will try to get you to buy the "add on" which is only a dollar less but half the oz, so look at the size options.) I put this on after washing as well as use it to set my makeup. It is amazing. http://www.amazon.com/Mario-Badescu-Facial-Spray-Rosewater/dp/B00172O9NO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 3. #LevenRose Organic 100% Pure Cold Pressed Unrefined Natural Jojoba Oil, 4 oz (This and the Facial Spray are the most important parts of this. This product is incredible. You can also use it as a makeup remover, its great for hair as well as stretch marks and cellulite ((yes, I'm telling you the truth.) It also lasts a couple of months. http://www.amazon.com/Leven-Rose-Organic-Pressed-Unrefined/dp/B00GJX58PE?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 4. #AztecSecrets: Indian Healing Bentonite Clay (The larger oz is also only a couple of dollars more and will last you a couple of years.) http://www.amazon.com/Aztec-Secrets-Indian-Healing-Bentonite/dp/B00N528HIC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 I wash my face, then its important to let your face dry. Then the spray (let dry) and finally the Jojoba oil. I also use the spray and oil after the mask, which heals and seals your pores. Since I've been using this routine, my skin looks luminous and almost 10 years younger. I'm not joking. I've bought the most expensive products on the market and none of them compare to these which are a 1/10th of the cost. Let me know if any of you try it. I'm not selling any of these or making any money or anything for telling you all this. I'm just so incredibly pleased and surprised that I couldn't not tell people.

I am not too impressed with the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. I am not sure that it does a good job with deep pore cleaning. From the first use, I did not notice any significant difference in my skin's clarity and texture. It does leave my skin feeling smooth, but it does not feel nice on the skin. I think it's supposed to hydrate and moisturize my face, but again I didn't really feel a difference. It's easy to mix with water, but the results leave much to be desired. It also smells just like what it is, clay, so it feels kinda icky. My skin does not look lighter and feel tighter after every use, but your mileage may vary. If you're looking for a powerful and affordable way to detoxify your skin and minimize pores, you can give this clay mask a try.

Really nice and effective and last longer

I have been using this clay mask for years now and have never had any problems using it. My skin is a bit oily and the pores in my forehead and nose tend to make white/black dots. Every time I apply my mask (once a week), I immediately notice the beneficial effects it has on my skin. The face becomes silky and free of all impurities. WARNING This mask gives you a real deep cleansing! As indicated on the packaging, you will literally feel your face pulsating! This feeling is felt about 10 minutes after applying the mask! It tingles, it tugs, it acts! Don't worry, this feeling is completely normal! That said, as soon as you feel this "pulse", remember to remove your mask or your face will turn red. This redness normally disappears within 30 minutes of removing the mask. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE 1) I mix the clay powder with cider vinegar in equal parts (1:1). 2) I apply the mixture on my face with a make-up brush avoiding the mouth and eye contour. 3) I leave the mask on for 15 minutes (or until I feel it "pulsating"), then I remove it with a warm wet washcloth. 4) As this mask is a bit drying to the skin, I apply a serum and moisturizing cream after use. ================= Français ================= J'utilise ce masque d'argile depuis des années maintenant et je n'ai jamais eu de problème à l'utiliser. Ma peau est un peu grasse et les pores de mon front et de mon nez ont tendance à faire des points blancs/noirs. Chaque fois que j'applique mon masque (une fois par semaine), je remarque immédiatement les effets bénéfiques qu'il a sur ma peau. Le visage devient soyeux et exempt de toutes impuretés. AVERTISSEMENT | Ce masque vous donne un vrai nettoyage en profondeur! Comme indiqué sur l'emballage, vous sentirez littéralement votre visage PULSER. Cette sensation se fait sentir environ 10 minutes après l'application du masque! Ça pique, ça tire, ça agit! Ne vous inquiétez pas, ce sentiment est tout à fait normal! Cela dit, dès que vous ressentez cette «pulsation», pensez à retirer votre masque ou votre visage deviendra rouge. Cette rougeur disparaît normalement dans les 30 minutes suivant le retrait du masque. MODE D'EMPLOI 1) Je mélange la poudre d'argile avec du vinaigre de cidre à parts égales (1:1). 2) J'applique le mélange sur mon visage à l'aide d'un pinceau à maquillage en évitant le contour de la bouche et des yeux. 3) Je laisse le masque pendant 15 minutes (ou jusqu'à ce que je le sente "palpiter"), puis je le retire avec une débarbouillette mouillée et chaude. 4) Comme ce masque assèche un peu la peau, j'applique un sérum et une crème hydratante après utilisation.

I bought this clay to make my own natural remineralizing toothpaste and also to use as a face mask. I bought the 2Lb version as it was better value than the 1Lb and it arrived packaged well with the clay was nicely filled up to the top. :) I think it's wasted packaging when you buy something that arrives in a big container only to find that there's a lot of 'air space'. First of all, it should be noted that this is CALCIUM BENTONITE clay, not SODIUM BENTONITE. Some other companies sell "Bentonite Clay" but on closer inspection, you'll realise it's sodium, not calcium. A lot of people may not realise this but it's important because it's the calcium version that has the healing and curative powers and can be safely consumed, hence used in toothpaste. This worked great! As a face mask when mixed with apple cider vinegar, you can definitely feel the tightening powers as it hardens and my skin was clearer, smoother and more toned after. Amazing. It also feels so good using only two ingredients with no preservatives. You don't need to use too much though- if I put on a very thick mask, it's pretty difficult to get off! In terms of the toothpaste, I think I need to find another recipe as my toothpaste tends to harden due to the cold but I want to stress that that's due to the coconut oil, not this clay. I feel really good using this clay to brush my teeth and have been doing it for a few months. I chose to use clay over baking soda as IMHO, it's less harsh and clay is very good at drawing out toxins in general. Sensitivity has overall decreased and my teeth feels clean and overall stronger and healthier. I can't think of any negatives except that it costs cheaper to get in America but that's besides the point. If you're wondering whether you should get it or not, it has worked perfectly for my needs and I highly recommend it!! And a container this big is gonna last me ages! :)

Its a good product, it is going to last for years and it is an amazing mask

This is my first time trying clay masks. (I started getting into skincare over the CoVID lockdowns.) I have experimented with this a lot and come to realize that it might be slightly too irritating for my sensitive skin. At least, I need to only leave it on for no longer than 10 minutes. I'll be honest, that at first, I was leaving it on for a very long time: 30, or even 45 minutes. This was too long, which i realized but I was "gung ho" or something. (Reckless!) I would try to stick to the maximum intended time of 15 minutes if you are just starting out with this. I think the long time does dry out the skin and I don't think that was ultimately healthy for my sensitive combination skin. Maybe it would be OK if I just put it on my t-zone. Anyways, what I find this really great for is for hair masks! mixing with apple cider vinegar, I put this on my hair and leave it for about an hour, then rinse out with cool water. It leaves my hair clean and extremely soft. This is especially useful for anyone looking to transition toward "No Shampoo," because I have been able to use it once every 1-2 weeks and my hair has been very clean and actually in the best condition it's ever been in, in my life. This clay is a very helpful product for bridging the transition toward no shampoo.
