This works best when you use distilled water. At first I used tap water, and thought the clay smelled like clay dirt, like from the back yard. I learned that this is because the clay sucks up the minerals and all that and the clay basically is going to emit whatever the water supply contains, and because it is sucking up all these random things in the water, it actually makes the clay less effective, since there are all these other things leached into the clay. So I went to the store and got distilled water, and the difference was like night and day. The clay smelled like nothing, not the back yard, which was good, and the clay seemed to be able to work better. Also, some people complain about it being difficult to mix, because it is so messy. I thought so too at first, however, I then just realized, I just needed to alternate with adding small amounts of the clay with small amounts of water, and just keep adding clay and water, until I get the amount and consistency I want. Same as baking. You wouldn’t dump the entire amount of flour the recipe calls for with the entire amount of liquids in the bowl when you bake a cake. You would have a lumpy cake and flour all over your kitchen. Similar concept here. Also, I learned a super cool trick, that I saw online, if you want to make it in advance, if you have a container with a secured lid, (not metal) which you just add very small layers of clay alternated with the water, and then just put the lid on, and let it sit for 24 hours. Theoretically, the water will be absorbed into the clay, and you should have a nice even consistency clay. I tried this, and it pretty much worked, but had a few little dry clumps. Perhaps if I let it sit longer, it would not have needed any mixing, but that’s an option for people who don’t want to mix it, and willing to prepare it in advance. Also, some people complain it made their face red. Yea, it does that. but it’s supposed to, it’s all the red blood cells coming to the surface carrying oxygen, which means it should be healing your skin. It should go away in about 30 minutes to an hour though. Obviously you got a rash or something, then that’s probably not good. I read some horror story online about somebody leaving it on over night.. so yea, I would definitely not recommend doing that, especially on your whole face. Also, people need to be aware, that the clay is highly alkaline, which is why some people mix it with a little apple cider vinegar, as this makes the ph more neutral, so may be less harsh on your skin. Other than distilled water, or a little apple cider vinegar, or other acidic liquid like lemon juice or even Greek yogurt, to even out the ph levels, I also sometimes add a couple drops of tea tree oil or even coconut oil, to make it spread more smooth, but only a tiny bit, as I like to keep my clay pretty basic. if you are using it on an infected boil or painful ingrown hair, I read somewhere, you can mix it with high grade liquid colloidal silver, which supposedly works really well. Other than all the FYI’s I have learned while using this product, I think this stuff is great. It shrinks pimples, and makes my skin soft, and I have found that it can work on a plethera of skin issues, like helping healing wounds faster, or for removing ingrown hairs, especially if used as a clay poultice. When I run out, which will probably take a while, as a little goes a long way, I will definitely get more, as this stuff is pretty useful for all types of skin issues.

It’s a good skin care product but it’s important not to leave it on beyond the suggested duration as it can result in a little chemical burn. I lost track of time once and it took a full day for my skin to calm down. It can be a bit messy to apply and get good coverage. I also don’t advise putting it in face scrubs for sensitive skin. Used as a mask with no other ingredients it works well enough to clear pores. ☠️
