Hey lovely! Today I have the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay to talk about. Every grand mother and their mothers have been using clay in their go to beauty rituals. It has been used for centuries and here we are still using it in our face masks, body wraps etc. Due to its various healing properties bentonite clay or green clay will always be the most natural wonder beauty product.
Here is the famous Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. It is 100% NATURAL bentonite clay.
Product Description :- Aztec Healing Clay is bentonite clay from the Death Valley, California, where it is sun-dried for up to six months in temperatures that sometimes reach 134 degrees.
How it works? :- When a facial or clay poultice is applied to the skin it forms a negative charge. Poisons and toxins stored in the epidermis have a positive charge. Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay lifts the pimples and blackheads into the clay bed to cause accelerated healing and nourishment to the skin with over 50 minerals.
I have been using regular clay masks for a really long time. Because my skin is very oily clay mask is necessary for me. I use the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask, usually once a week or may be once in 10 days. If I see any break out I just use a clay mask. Well! I also use it when I am in a mood to prepare the mask.
The packaging of the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay is a simple plastic container. It contains the clay in powder form. We have to mix the clay with some liquid and apply to the face. I prepare my mask using the clay and rose water and it smell amazing and feels relaxing. If I do not have rose water I will use just the tap water. On the packaging it is mentioned to use apple cider vinegar. I do not use the Apple Cider Vinegar because I don’t like the smell of it. It takes some time to mix and prepare a smooth paste.
To prepare the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay mask we should not use a metal bowl. I use a glass bowl. I use my fingers to apply a thick layer of mask all over the face and let it dry.
The mask pulsates when it starts to dry. I have noticed that it does pulsate but it also depends on how thick your application is. I leave this mask on to dry for about 20-30 minutes. After the mask has completely dried it becomes very tight and by very tight I mean VERY TIGHT. If you smile or talk or laugh the mask cracks and stretches the skin. (if you are a person like me who gets these fits of laughter at the wrong time). I am not scaring you away – here I need to mention it also depends on the thickness of your application.
If you have applied a thin layer it won’t feel that tight :-). During the drying process the mask works by sucking out all the blackheads, whiteheads and pimples to heal faster. I would suggest to use a thin layer when first using this mask.
I wash the mask off with lukewarm water. It does take a while to wash it off though. To make it easier I wet my face with water and then take a wash cloth or those small flat orange sponge like thing and gently start to massage in circular motion and remove the mask.
After washing, my skin feels dry and slightly red which is normal. The redness is because of the increased blood circulation. I apply a good moisturizer. The redness subsides after an hour and the skin feels smooth and cleansed. If you feel lazy to prepare the mask, I have reviewed some ready make masks like the Origins Original Skin Retexurizing Mask with Rose Clay and also the Dead Sea Mud Mask by Pure Body Naturals which is great and not too drying. It is also available on Amazon.
I have been using this for over a year now and I love it. Especially because it handles acne and scars quite well. It accelerates the healing process and get rid of acne and pimples really well. Regular use will make your skin more tight, firm, smooth and acne free. On the website it is mentioned that this clay can be used as natural treatments for arthritis and skin ailments. This is such an inexpensive mask and we get a lot of product which will last you more than a year. It is worth a try, especially if you have oily acne prone skin.
I purchased the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay from Amazon . We can find it in different health food stores as well. Here in Philippines it is available in Healthy Options at a very affordable price. After using this mask for so many times and seeing such great results I will agree that this is “World’s Most Powerful Facial.”
Until next time stay bright and beautiful. 🙂
As I have acne problem, hope this will work good for me. 🙂
