Aztec Secret – Indian Healing Clay – Deep Pore Cleansing Facial & Body Mask – The Original 100% Natural Calcium Bentonite Clay – New Version 2-32 Oz (Pack of 1)

*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 used it for a long time and would buy it again, as it really helps improve the skin.

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!

This review is a lot like the others. My skin type is super sensitive, extremely oily, and riddled with acne. All forms of acne. Whiteheads, black, heads, cysts. Acne that isn't just unpleasant to look at but actually hurts. I am very pale but my face always has been a shade of pink of red. Very uneven skin tone. And I'm allergic to salysilic acid. So most acne treatments do t work for me. But so far, this product has been great. It bas decreased the amount of oil my face produces and significantly made my pores smaller all while cleaning all the gunk out of them. Only complaint so far, it is hard to clean up once you are done.DO NOT WASH IT DOWN YOUR DRAIN IT WILL BLOCK IT I PROMISE YOU. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS MUD. I mix it with apple cider vinegar (which makes it smell kind a bad) and then lather it on my face. I make a big amount of it and store it in my kitchen so I can use it later. After putting it on my face I pet my cats or read a book for 20 to 45 minutes. I usually leave it on a long time because then it is easier to take off. Now the hardest part. Taking this thing off your face. This is what I do. Go to the bathroom, stand over the sink and block your drain. I put two prices of paper towel in the sink to catch the falling mud chips. Then move your face. While you were petting cats or reading books or whatever for 20 to 45 minutes your face froze. So now move it around to break up the mud. Then just peel it off with your hands and collect it all in the paper towel. Then once all the big pits are off, throw all that mud into your compost (composting is awesome) if dont have a compost bin/dont live in the woods then toss it in the bin but think really hard about how awesome composting is. Okay now all the big bits are off but your face is still greenish. Now i take a wash cloth and dampen it with cool water and gently rub it on my face. Get all the remaining bits off. Now put that wash cloth in the dirty laundry. And splash your face off with cold water like they do in those commercials. Great. Your almost done. Now your face is wicked red. That's supposed to happen. Apparently this product names all the blood go to your face. I just think your face is all irritated cuz you just had a mask on it for 45 minutes. But this redness goes away in 20 to 30 minutes. Like I said before. I have really bad skin. I am 19 years young. This acne should have stopped when I was 15 but no. I do t know if my acne is genetic or what. By all standards I should have clear skin. I am a vegetarian, I drink lots. of water, I use all the washes. I've only used it twice so far but I it has been working for me. No big accomplishments yet but my skin is slowly changing. Best of luck to those who suffer from bad skin. I really hope this helps you. I know what it is like to have people comment on your acne in public, or have little kids asking you what's wrong with your face and how hard it is to face things like going to the store because of the redness and the pimples. And I know the physical pain. Some people are lucky and just get a zit. Others get actually painful acne. So I really hope this product helps all of you lime it is helping me. Acne is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a medical condition. But still, I know the struggle. Best of luck to everyone!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really happy with this product! It feels nice on my skin, and leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft, and comfortable. The quality is great, and I’m very happy with the results so far. Definitely worth trying!

Okay, I get it...this might sound like something you’d find in an ancient treasure chest, buried deep under a pyramid, guarded by giant stone statues. But no, this is Aztec Secret’s Indian Healing Clay, and it’s the skincare secret your pores have been desperately waiting for. This stuff is like a spa treatment and a deep cleanse rolled into one, except, you know, without the expensive price tag or the awkward small talk with the esthetician. This 1 lb tub of 100% natural calcium bentonite clay is like the Swiss Army knife of skincare. You can use it as a facial mask, a body mask, or...if you’re feeling adventurous...a mud pie for your whole body. It’s pretty much guaranteed to give your face the kind of detox that would make even your Instagram followers want to drop a “you’ve got that glow” comment. You’ll feel like you just walked out of a rejuvenating, mystical spa, but for a fraction of the price. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that it’s 100% natural, because we all know that “natural” means you’re basically living your best life. PROS: • Deep Pore Cleansing: It’s like a sponge for your face, except, you know, it doesn’t absorb your emotions, just dirt and oil. • 100% Natural: No weird chemicals or sketchy ingredients, so it’s just you, the clay, and a face that’s now feeling fresher than a minty breeze. • Multi-Use: Face mask? Check. Body mask? Check. Hair mask? Check. It’s basically the Swiss Army knife of beauty routines...minus the sharp bits. • Impressive Results: Seriously, after using this, your skin will feel tighter, clearer, and ready to take on the world, one selfie at a time. CONS: • Might Dry Out Skin: It’s a deep cleanse, so it can be a bit intense. If you’re not moisturizing afterward, your skin might end up feeling a little drier than a desert. • Application Can Get Messy: Let’s be honest...clay masks can get everywhere, and this one’s no exception. Your bathroom may look like a post-apocalyptic scene after using it. • Takes Time to Prepare: It’s not as simple as “open, apply, wait.” You have to mix it with water or apple cider vinegar, and then let it sit. Patience, grasshopper. But here’s the thing, Aztec Secret isn’t just a clay mask, it’s a transformation. It’s like the Rocky montage of skincare, except instead of boxing, it’s your pores that get the fight of their lives. When you finally rinse it off, you’ll look in the mirror and be like, “Who’s that glowing, fresh-faced human in the reflection?” Spoiler alert: it’s you.

I've been dying to try a mud mask. I've always had smooth skin, rarely a break out even in teenage years... but I was noticing my skin wasn't as smooth, even with my face products. This is an adventure! Make sure you've got a wash cloth because it's going to be challenging to rinse off otherwise. But it's very effective. It did feel like a deep clean. As I expected I did have a blemish each of the 1st two times I used it as my skin adapted to it, but it really has been a game changer & very much returned the smooth texture to my skin. On my 3rd application, my skin had fully adapted & no break outs. It's not my favorite smell, but it's not bad. I don't use the vinegar because I'm histamine sensitive, but it works just fine with only water to mix the mud. I feel like my moisturizers can absorb better since I've been using it & I appreciate that it's such an easy, effective product.

Package came on time, was nicely sealed and as expected. Cons- No real instructions on use or quantities to mix. I found equal parts of 1 tablespoon clay to liquid (either water or apple cider vinegar) to create the right amount with minimal waste. A bit difficult to remove from skin. After using 5 times the best procedure for me was to place a hot towel on my face allowing the steam to soften the clay. I did do repeatedly pressing towel firmly in small sections until mask was completely removed. ** make sure to run hot water down drain for a few minutes once complete to prevent drain from clogging due to build up. ** my face was slightly red immediately after use but it faded quickly. I think others who complain about redness are new to skin care routine and/or did not take time to prep skin properly before use. If your skin is dry it is important to spend a few days prior to use moisturizing. Using moisturizing masks and creams for 1-2 weeks prior to your first use of this mask will help eliminate excessive redness or dryness. *** this isn’t an all in one miracle in a jar. As with any product your need to invest time into prepping and maintaining your skin! If you are new to skincare routines or do not use products on a regular basis: start with equal parts water/clay for the first few uses. Then add 1/2 water 1/2 cider until you reach full cider. This may take a few weeks or month, but honestly about your prior skincare routine and the condition of your skin is paramount to the success and your happiness with this product. **** Breakouts should be expected!!!!!! So many reviews complaining that they broke out after using product. The purpose of this product is to remove toxins and buildup from the skin. The breakouts mean it’s working!!! I get facials weekly and anytime I haven’t followed my skincare routine I’ll get a few blemishes after. It is to be expected!!!!!!!! The key is making sure you have proper aftercare products to repair and care for your skin! -Pros Good value for the price Fragrance free other than the slight smell of the cider. I have used every 3 days now for a total of 15 times. My pores have almost disappeared giving me my 20 year old glowing skin❣️ (I am almost 50) I only had a couple blemishes after first use. No other reaction since. My makeup goes on smooth again with zero lines or cracking. However even without makeup-you can no longer see the pores on my nose or cheeks. This is by far one of the better purifying masks I have used. Just be honestly with yourself about your skin, expectations. Most importantly know that this is just one step in achieving your goal. Great skin takes time and work!!!!! Too many buy products and think results will happen overnight.

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! :)

Use it everyday by itself with water to brush my teeth. It’s fantastic

I used this to soak 5 year old autistic boys feet. I didn’t think he would at the beginning but he did and I notice we had some really calm days after and he slept well. Going to do another foot soak today. Amazingly his speech is better and he is counting and telling us colours. Not sure if it’s a coincidence but I’m impressed

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.

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.
