How to Use Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth) as a Healing Clay Mask

1. Prepare the Mask
Mix the Ingredients:
Take 2-3 tablespoons of Multani Mitti powder in a clean bowl.
Add water, rose water, or milk to the powder to form a smooth paste. You can also add a few drops of honey or aloe vera gel for added moisture and soothing effects.
Optional Additions:
For oily or acne-prone skin, add a pinch of turmeric or neem powder for its antibacterial properties.
For dry skin, mix in some yogurt or olive oil for extra hydration.
2. Application
Apply the Mask:
Using clean fingers or a brush, apply the paste evenly to your face, avoiding the eye area.
Spread it in an even layer, covering problem areas like acne or oil-prone zones.
3. Let It Dry
Wait for the Mask to Dry:
Allow the mask to dry for about 15-20 minutes. You’ll feel your skin tightening as the clay absorbs excess oil and impurities.
4. Rinse Off
Wash Off:
Once the mask is dry, gently rinse it off with lukewarm water, using circular motions to exfoliate your skin.
Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
5. Follow-Up
After removing the mask, apply a light moisturizer to hydrate your skin, as Multani Mitti can sometimes leave it feeling dry.
Frequency:
Use 1-2 times a week, depending on your skin type and needs.
