Just like Kym said "God knows what He's doing"
My list is only of the things that I have tried it for and I can attest for it working. There are so many others things it can be used for.
To use it on the skin you can do whatever works easiest for you and how much your needing it to pull out toxins/soothe.
I have really rough eczema on my face. So I make a paste and let it dry, then wash it off. (The less expensive clay will work just as good for this)
Then if I feel it starting to return I just make a thinner paste and wash my face with it. THe wash will touch up the smoothness for my face. But sometimes Im in a rush in the morning and I just rinse with water, then I forget and my face gets rough again. But whenever I want to use the mask it will take it all off again with one application.
I have put it with my natural deoderant that wasnt working well enough for my preggo odor and it didnt dry. It mixed in and stayed just fine. So well, I use the clay instead of the deoderant when I need it (I normally dont wear deoderant)
So if you put it in with a lotion I would say it would be just fine so long as you dont put to much in. But I have never read of an actual ratio to add in. Just off of what I have used.
My son has light eczema on his back. And all he needs is a light sprinkle in his bathwater twice a week and thats enough for his skin.
My husband use to have bumps on the back of his upper arm and I give him clay 3 or 4 times a week in a smoothie and thats all his skin needs.
We no longer use lotions or oils though. My dh does out of habit but he doesnt need it.
Last week, my body was releasing a lot of toxins, giving me red bumps here and there every day. So I splurged and dumped about a cup in my bathwater. THey went away and I just started feeling a few here and there. So the bath kept my skin clear for a week but not my face. And I take clay internally daily. My kids just every other day unless I can tell they might need to not skip that day.
All that to try and explain what skin needs what kind of treatment and what might work. One thing is for sure. It works.

yippers The other night I saw this on line:
https:// anitagrant.com/index.php?age=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.fl ypage&product_id=55&category_id=16&option=com_phps hop&Itemid=41
It had recipes for hair and body wraps that could be done with the clay they sell. Its a bit different from the one I buy. So I took a little clay and made a thin paste, then smoothed over dd's hair. Didnt saturate her hair or anything just a thin rub. And wowzer. Her curls which are already nice got even more defined and the curl tightened all the way to the root. Just the little I put might have been to much for her tiny head though. The next day her scalp was a little dry on the top of her head. I think tonight ill try the recipe on the site. Im needing to remove some build up from my bronners that I used the other day. Baking soda and vinegar did an ok job. But if all holds true so far, im sure the clay will do the trick. Im hoping to get a good routine down with the clay, bronners, and california baby that I use. I love all three but I know it could look much nicer from what I saw it do for dd's hair that day if I could get the right routine for my hair. Maybe be able to not use the bronners since clay is suppose to be good as a shampoo too.
