Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask Review

I had to get some of this after reading the below reviews and I have been nothing but impressed. It's really cheap on IHerb and as you don't need to use as much as the container says, it's amazing value. I've given some to my sister and some friends and still have enough to last me absolutely months.

As per the below reviews, make sure you use apple cider vinegar and a brush (I use a pastry brush lol)

It's yet to make my skin pulsate but I'm feeling like that's a good thing, I don't think I would like that. What I have noticed since using is that my face is way less oily than it has ever been and my foundation is lasting all the better for this. I don't think I would be without it now, it's just that good.

I don't suffer from acne and was wondering if it would be a bit harsh for my sensitive skin but not at all, if you've been wondering about that don't let it stop you from trying it.

It does leave my skin a little red but it subsides within half an hour, nothing I can't get over.

All in all I would say it's a must have in your beauty regime.

Thanks everyone for talking about it, I'm so glad I've been and tried it.

Absolutely love this product. It is advised to mix equal parts of the powder with apple cider vinegar - i was originally cautious as i was scared that this may be too strong for my sensitive skin, however i had no issues! When the product begins to dry you can almost feel your skin pulsating as it removes all the dirt and grime from your pore! I noticed an immediate improvement in the reduction of blackheads, especially on my nose which has often been a trouble area.

Since you are recommended to apply quite a think layer on your skin it can become somewhat uncomfortable while drying, however it is definitely worth bearing with.

I purchased this off iherb for an extremely affordable price, and considering how little you use (and therefore how long it is going to last!) I am over the moon with this product!

I love this stuff on my face, especially my nose and chin where I get the most blackheads and pimples. It's very cheap and will last a loooong time since you only need about a teaspoon for your whole face. As it dries it tightens and you start to feel your face pulsate, it feels strange but I guess that means it's working!

I like how it's only clay so when you make up a mask you can personalise the ingredients and know exactly what you're putting on your face. I prefer it with apple cider vinegar as the tub recommends, and sometimes I put a couple of drops of rosehip oil in for added moisture.

One annoying thing about this though is that it just isn't as convenient as a mask out of a tube, and also when it dries on your face it takes a bit of effort to get it off. I usually put it on 20 min before a shower then let the water soften the clay so it can easily be rubbed off.

After I wash it off my face is a bit red but goes back to normal after half an hour or so. My skin feels tighter (but in a good way) and cleaner, and as I've been using it for a few weeks once a week I can see less blackheads on my nose and chin :)

I would recommend this to anyone even with sensitive skin - I have sensitive excema-prone skin and this is gentle enough for me, and there are no nasty added ingredients like in ready made masks. Try it out!

I got this off iherb after hearing about how amazing it was and it has recently become a much loved skincare product of mine! I have normal skin that tends to get oily at times, my skin is sensitive and I get blackheads across my nose. I also have large pores. This mask works best with apple cider vinegar but if you have sensitive skin you can mix water in as well. Leave this clay mask on for ten minutes and remove.. And wow!! The results are amazing. I find my skin tightens a little but is super soft. My face goes a little red after using this but the instructions on the back do state that this is normal. After using this clay mask once or twice a week for months now I have seen a difference in pore size, and my blackheads are less prominent. I love this product, and love that it is made from all natural products. I wiuld reccomend this to anyone wanting a mask that gives the skin a deep clean as well as help to prevent breakouts. I also reccomend applying a good amount of moisturiser afterwards.

WOW! this face mask is defiantly different to any other mask i have ever used , i have been working with face masks for over 3 years in the beauty industry and have never come across one quite like this one. I didn't really think it could be possible that a face mask would literally make your face pulsate like everybody said , but this stuff defiantly does that! I get a lot of hormonal break outs and have enlarged pores over my nose and cheeks. I use this mask once a week and it really clears my skin out leaving my skin refreshed and bright with visibly decreased pores.I always go for this mask when my skin is breaking out and it really helps with clearing my skin, i leave it on until it all drys, it feels really really tight on the skin and you can not talk with this mask on as it will crack and it pretty much feels like a straight jacket for your skin haha. After washing the mask of my skin is very pink , but eventually goes away after about 10-15 mins , so don't worry if your skin goes really pink as its totally normal. I find my skin feels very dry after using this mask so i always make sure i have my trilogy rose hip serum available to put on after wards to hydrate and treat my skin, so i recommend if you do purchase this you also purchase a really good moisturizer or serum to use afterwards.

I bought a giant tub of this ff amazon, for a really cheap price- especially for what you get. I really think this tub could last me for the rest of my life! I mix it with apple cider vinegar, which makes it easier to mix, as I've found when I mix it with only water the consistency is lumpier. I leave the mask on for about 10-15 and no longer as when the mask starts to dry it's not the best feeling, so you don't wanna to leave it on for too long so to prevent it from drying out your skin. After you wash it off, your skin feels very refreshed and soft. Make sure you use a good moisturiser to replenish your skin! I always use this mask when I feel my skin needs a god deep clean. Overall, really good product, IF I ever ran out (which I doubt) I would definitely repurchase.

i heard sooo many reviews of this mask so had pretty high expectations after constantly hearing people rave about it, i had to try it out the moment i got it and have never looked back. i even got my bf to use it on his nose and cheeks and it dramatically changed his skin. i love this mask, only thing i hate is that i have to mix it myself, only on the lazy days. All in all, great mask

I absolutely love this face mask!! First off, to make the actual mask it can get a little messy, but its really worth it. When you apply it you can really feel it cleaning out your skin, as your skin may burn a little and pulsate. I use this twice a week, and since I have been using it my skin has cleared up dramatically and my skin is a lot less oily. I love this so much, and recommend it to those who have oily skin or/and problematic skin!

This amazing mask seems to last forever. I have had one jar for so long now and use it at least once a week either as a face mask mixed with apple cider vinger or a bath detox. It cleans all the dirt out of my skin leaving it nice and smooth though on my face I do find a little drying.

The only negative I have is its a pain to clean up if I make a mess which is often due to the powder form it comes in.

With this product being a bit of an iHerb legend - I had to try it. It took me a while to get it as it is so popular it is regularly out of stock. I couldn't wait to try it once it arrived so I mixed the powder up with apple cider vinegar - I also tried plain water but it mixed up so much better with the vinegar. It really stinks with the vinegar- like sting your eyes stink! I packed it on and let it dry. It does pulse and it dries. It is difficult to remove after - best to just have a shower and soak it off. My face was very bright red afterwards which took a few hours to dissipate. My skin felt lovely and soft but the next day I got some whoppa pimples- big, blind, sore ones. I thought maybe it's bringing them to the surface etc so I kept using the mask but every time it makes me break out badly. I've seen some suggestions to mix it with avocado or honey so I might give that a go, I like the lush cosmetic warrior mask so I might try making my own version of that using the Aztec mask as the clay base and adding some egg, tea tree, garlic and honey perhaps? Not sure but on its own this mask doesn't seem too good for my normal skin.
