Good stuff!
I'm a 52 yr old RN and have always been acne prone. My skin texture has become very rough. I mixed the clay with water, primarily because I was out of ACV. (I might try it next time.) I left it on for 30 minutes. I took it off using a washcloth (GENTLY) and hot water in a plastic basin to keep the clay out of my drain. My skin is as smooth as a baby's butt and I'm quite certain it has NEVER been this clean. Here's the fun part! Put it on, grab a magnifying mirror, make yourself comfortable in a well lit spot, and watch. See all those tiny black spots appearing? No, you didn't accidentally mix ground black pepper in lol! Those are blackheads. Keep watching because the whiteheads are coming out next. This is much healthier than traumatizing your skin (and creating dark spots) by trying to squeeze them out. I recommend using this every 2 weeks to begin with, then determine for yourself if you can tolerate weekly or if you need to restrict it to monthly, etc. Final pieces of advice: Never put your face in direct sunlight. (If you have no choice, use a physical sunscreen, such as titanium dioxide.) Don't scrub it; save scrubbing for the pots and pans. Find a bland moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, with no fragrance added (and not tested on animals!) And, for the love of Pete, keep your hands away from your face! (Be kind to your skin 😊)
