I have sensitive skin and struggle with hyperpigmentation, which means I’m extra picky about the products that I slather on my face. Recently, I heard about this Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask and decided to try it since my skin was in desperate need of a recharge. Not only does this best-selling clay mask work great on your face, but you can also use it on your hair and body. Here’s why I’ve kept it in my skincare routine for the past few months.

After applying this mask, you can literally feel your face pulsating, so you know it’s doing its job. I’ve tried a number of different face masks and skincare products, but this one truly takes the cake and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

I tend to mix this clay with apple cider vinegar for the best results, but it can also be mixed with water. It turns into a paste that you apply to anywhere you have sensitive skin, and then leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off. Not only does it deep cleanse your pores, but it also removes dirt, oil and makeup. There’s no added fragrances, and it’s made of 100% natural bentonite clay. After using this mask twice a week for two months, I’ve already noticed a significant difference in my skin, and I even use it in my hair for a detox every once in a while.

If you have skin redness, acne, keratosis pilaris or any insect bites, this mask can help reduce all of it. “I have had a random breakout of acne in my early 20s after never having any acne throughout my teen years. I was somewhat at a loss of what to do, but I found out about this bentonite clay mask from my dermatologist,” says one reviewer. “This stuff is AMAZING.”

For a mask that does more than just smooth your skin, go with this Aztec Secret clay mask for healthier and happier skin. It is 100% worth it and is my favorite skincare product to date.
