Fullers Earth Fine Powder 250g - Pure & Natural Calcium Bentonite

I've seen a few recommendations for using bentonite/fullers earth as a face mask for oily skin and treating blackheads and acne. Most commercial facemasks only contain kaolin, which is widely tolerated but may be less effective. What you get here looks very like a bag of sand. The bag arrived heat sealed (I assume it is a bulk product and they break it out into smaller bags), and the labelling is very basic, but I didn't have any concerns about hygiene. It didn't have a particularly strong or noticeable smell. I mix about a tablespoon of "sand" with about the same volume of water and it makes a kind of face-mask-mortar. If you want a pretty colour or perfume, you are not going to get it here! I've also seen suggestions to use vodka or apple juice cider as the liquid base. I use one of those flat foundation brushes to mix and apply the product. The texture is a little coarse, so it doesn't go on quite as easily as commercial masks, you have to work it a bit. I leave it to dry for 5-10 mins, then rinse off with a warm flannel. My skin does seem smoother and my pores are less noticeable. If nothing else, the texture of this makes a good exfoliant. My skin is generally very sensitive and I haven't noticed any adverse reactions. I got the smallest quantity as I have sensitive skin and wanted to try it out, and I think this size of pack will actually last a good while, you don't need very much.

You only need a little bit to create a paste with minimal water. Leave it on to dry then wash off, probably best to wash face before use too. It can be drying if overused, once a week is fine as a mask. I did notice that it will draw impurities out of the skin and your skin may be worse for a little while, i.e. breakouts/redness, so be warned. However, this does mean that it is effective as a product, it's also pure and cheaper than the branded masks that contain a multitude of other ingredients. Another tip, keep pores hydrated if you want to minimize large pores.

Only used it a couple of times as a hair mask but happy with the results. Do not understand the bit in the review about flavour as I wouldn't recommend ingesting it and does the style mean the bag it came in or my hair after using it? Bit confusing choices.

I can't believe I hadn't tried this sooner. I originally wanted the Aztec one but didn't want to spend that much money. Then I thought to myself I wonder if there is a generic version? lo and behold here it is. I mix the clay to a smooth paste with just water as a face mask and with apple cider vinegar as a hair mask/clarifying treatment. It makes my hair so clean and as a result it absorbs products so much better instead of products just sitting on top of my hair strands like it usually does. For my face the mask helps with my oily skin and makes it so soft. I have already started using it weekly. Only downside is it's a messy process and if you're anything like me, you will have some cleaning to do after each use.

Used for making leader sink

Amazon was out of stock of my regular brand. I tried this and was impressed. I should have ordered it sooner. It mixes well with other ingredients for detox bath.

I start using Fuller's earth in my hair and on my face. the result was fantastic. I was losing hair, so I did a mix with hair cream and some good oils and fuller. The result was amazing. my hair falls less now and I feel my hair more strong. Also, I recommend it on the face. It is a good and effective product. I strongly recommend

Not Bad, just OK I guess. This is the first time I have used bentonite clay as a wash for my hair. I normally use rhassoul clay, which is supposed to be better. I wanted to see if I might prefer this, hence buying the smaller size. Had it for a while and waited till the rhassoul clay was finished. Mixed it with a tea made from nettle, lavender, horsetail and linden flower herbs, and some aloe vera juice along with an oil mix which included peppermint and lemon grass essential oils Left my hair feeling moisturised, clean and soft, also appeared to give some definition to my kinky afro 4c hair. Rhassoul does the same as well, but this felt softer I think. I don't know what colour bentonite clay is supposed to be, people say it's supposed to have a grey/green colour, unlike this brand which had a brown colour. Also it did not appear to swell the way it is supposed to. All in all its ok. Don't know if I would purchase again though, but would recommend to others.

dopo vari utilizzi posso scrivere una recensione veritiera. innanzitutto è argilla pura, quindi fa il suo dovere, liscia e toglie le impurità dalla pelle, è cruelty free e sinceramente costa meno di altre che si possono trovare sia su amazon che in negozi apposit. certo ha alcune pecche, che però a parer mio possono essere eliminate se si utilizza il prodotto correttamente. - quantità: non mettete mai più di un cucchiaio/cucchiaio e mezzo oppure sarete costretti a buttarne gran parte. mettete una quantità d'acqua pari a 1 a 3, un terzo di acqua per la quantità di argilla. -posa: essendo argilla pura è molto aggressiva, per questo se la usate da sola la dovete lasciare sul viso per SOLO 5 minuti oppure vi troverete tutta la faccia rossa come un peperone. non è una tipica maschera che trovate al supermercato che può essere tenuta su anche 20 minuti. in 5 minuti fa il suo compito. potete comunque tenerla per più di 5 min a solo patto che la mescoliate con sostanze più emollienti come yogurt o miele, ma non superate mai i 10 minuti di posa -grumi: quest'argilla tende a non mescolarsi perfettamente in modo unitario per cui si avranno sempre dei grumi. per questo consiglio di stenderla con le mani e non con un pennello da maschera, in modo da eliminare i grumi rimasti direttamente a contatto con la pelle

Ottimo prodotto, ne ho provato altri ma tornerò su questo

Rimane grumosa.
