Im gonna try the acv, hot wash cloth, and other suggestions
It didnt instantly take my blackhead away either. I still get them, just not so bad. But then, I dont use the clay to its maximim benefit on my face. Sometimes I just put it on and wash it off like soap. Other times I put it on and actually wait 20 minutes
Thats great Mamat..
I found the difference in clays:

One is calcium bentonite and the other is montmorillonite.
I used the bronners/clay foam that I made on my face and body. My face looks and feels great still. Very balanced. But the rest of my body got a little dry. It doesnt with just plain clay though. I think ill stick to the foam with my face only
Oh! And I love the mint lotion I bought along with my clay this time. Its perfect for summer! It soaks right into the skin, completely. But it soaks in so much I wouldnt really call it a lotion in the traditional sense. Like Palmers or something.
We went to the beach the other weekend and since I dont use deoderant I thought I would put clay to the test. I put some clay lotion in my palm, then added enough dry clay to make it sort of a soft paste. I put it on my armpits and left. I didnt smell, much later that night I could smell a bit if I really cranked my neck, but it could have been the Tyson chicken I had. And ive got the preggo hormones and all.
Then Wed I had to go to my ob visit so I did it again. But after i put the lotion on, I dusted a little dry clay over. I didnt smell nor did I that night.
