BENTONITE CLAY
What Is Bentonite Clay?
Bentonite clay is a natural healing clay comprised of minerals and it’s formed from natural volcanic ash, which was originally discovered near Fort Benton , Wyoming . It’s very powerful and produces a negative electric charge when water is added to it , which aids in binding and removing toxins . When you mix water with the clay, the components alter in order to allow it to become a powerful tool to absorb toxins . This clay is commonly used for removing toxins externally on your skin . Another benefit of the clay is that it is commonly used to remove heavy metals from the body.
When used externally , you can apply it to any area of your body , such as your face or feet . Some even apply it to their whole body and take a bentonite clay bath .
Minerals are abundant in healing clays , like Bentonite, including ; iron, magnesium , sodium , calcium , and potassium , and this results in the addition of many nutrients to the body .

How Often Should You Use The Bentonite Clay Mask ?
I apply the mask daily and leave it on for about 1 hour, which is probably longer than most leave it on , but it has been working great for me doing it this way .
Many use the mask just a few times a week or once a week and have great results . But if it’s your first time applying a bentonite clay mask , You would start out with doing it once a week and see how your skin responds , as it is quite powerful and this way you can work your way up to using it daily !
Ingredients / What You’ll Need :
1 teaspoon bentonite clay
1 teaspoon water or apple cider vinegar
Optional : a cup or bowl and a spoon to mix them
* If you use a spoon to mix them , make sure it isn’t metal because this causes metals to leach from the spoon into the clay , making the clay not as effective .
Directions :
1. Take about 1 teaspoon of the bentonite clay powder and about 1 teaspoon of water or apple cider vinegar (ACV) and put it in a bowl or cup .
Note : You can use water or ACV as a liquid for the mask . The ACV tends to make the mask a little more powerful/harsh on your skin , so if you have sensitive skin you may want to use water .
2. Mix the two ingredients well , until it forms a paste consistency. You can add a little more water or a little more powder , if the consistency doesn’t seem like it will easily spread on your face .
3. Apply the bentonite clay mask to your face using your fingers . Some people also spread it down their neck and upper chest too .
4. Leave the mask on for about 20 to 30 minutes. I usually end up leaving mine on for an hour because I apply it fairly thick and it does take about 15 minutes to just dry . As the mask dries , your face will start to feel tight .
5. Rinse off the mask using just water . You may have to gently scrub a little with your fingers to get it off . It tends to try to stick to your skin .
After you rinse the mask off , your skin may look a little pink for a few minutes . This usually happens to everyone after using the mask because the clay increases blood flow to your face as it pulls out toxins .
For Those With Sensitive Skin :
If you have sensitive skin , apply a thinner layer and leave the mask on for a shorter time . Then increase the frequency and how long you leave it on depending on how your skin feels .
Just after one use of the bentonite clay mask your skin would feel super clean and refreshed !
Bentonite clay is very effective and beneficial for your skin no matter what your age . What’s special about the bentonite clay mask is that it draws out toxins from the skin , shrinks your pores (noticeably just after a few uses) , prevents breakouts and leaves your skin soft and smooth .
