Ever since I discovered the wonders of Bentonite and pascalite clay, I have been using it regularly as a mask on my face almost daily... and it has produced wonderful results. My combination skin which is very prone to clog pores and Acne has become stable. Pores are clearer and finer, skin smoother etc. I guess that is also partly because I have begun flushing every 2-3 weeks and I will be doing my 6th this tomorrow.
Over the last 10 days, since I came back from a vacation whereby I did not eat very healthyly, I noticed my skin becoming unstable. It has become slightly more oily and feels like it is about to break out. My pores are more clogged and I get little whitish bumps on my chin. So... I decided to do more clay masks. I did them on a daily basis alternating between pascalite and Bentonite like I did before except that I thought I should make them thicker so that it can draw out more toxins... Last night, I decided that maybe I should leave it on for the whole night. I felt some throbbing on my nose and cheek while the mask was on and when I woke up this morning, the clay was hard and it felt a little painful. After I washed the clay off, my cheeks are red!!! My nose slightly too!!! HELP! Did I damage my skin?? What should I do to nurse them back??? It has been some 3 hours now and the skin is still as red.
I read that one can leave the clay mixture on for the night but maybe only for a thin or light layer. I left a rather thick layer on my cheeks and nose as those were the more problematic areas. BTW for my chin, I for some reason decided to cover the thickest layer of clay on this area with some 'Glad' wrap and it came out ok. Not much redness. Also, one thing I noticed about the 2 clays... Upon rinsing a Bentonite mask, my face usually looks rather clam and white while the Pascalite tends to leave it looking slightly flushed. I have not tried French Green Clay and am wondering which clay is most suitable for combination skin. Hopefully someone can give me tips to nurse my red cheeks back to health and opinions on the clay too!

This is a reply to # 368,154well, for one thing even the mud baths are supposed to only be done for about an hour tops, and need to drink to replenish body fluids etc.
i may be wrong, but generally it is my understanding that you should wait minimum a week / best 2 weeks between mudbaths also.
any facial mud clay should only be used in a very thin film maybe about once a week for 20 minutes or til dry.
it is extremely drawing and drying.
when i use pascalite any where on my body as a thin film even,
i notice it flushes the skin pink when i remove it/
cause of the blood being drawn to the surface to help the mud draw out toxins. i do use pascalite regularly in a very thin film on face about once every 2 weeks for 20 minutes. or less (til it dries) and NEVER around my eyes
please stop using mud packs on your face in such an extreme manner,
the facial skin is so tender and has natural oils and moisture there, you may damage your skin over time if you continue such a regime. and pay for it big time with dehydrated wrinkles and end up looking older than your age sooner.
i would say take a month breather from face packs.
after that if you feel you need to do so,
wisk the white of a room temperature egg, and dab on your face in a thin film.
as soon as it dries use warm water to gently rinse off, then splash with cool water to close pores, and then cover face with a very light film of almond oil or sesame oil to keep moisture in.
do NOT use any exfoliants until you see the face back to normal/
wait a month please.
if it were me, i would go get some anhydrous glycerin from kmart i know carries it near the pharm dept.. ask the pharmacist where it is..you will get a bottle for about 2-3 $
mix it with water or better yet , if you make a rosemary tea,
use that water. or thyme or sage tea..
about like this 2 caps glycerin to 8 caps water or one of the teas above. shake it up good.
apply it with a 100 % cotton ball several tiems a day to replenish water back into your face.
it will seem runny or slightly sticky even
but will dry soft and no oily feeling.
make a fresh batch every day.
are you ok using aloe? i cannot use it for some crazy reason lol.
if you are ok with it,
i would get a fresh aloe plant.
cut a small end of one (you only need a little and it will self heal)
cut a line down middle and kinda squish it to get the gel inside. dab it on face gently with your clean finger.
let dry for about 15/ minutes, then rinse with tepid water and splash with cool .
then apply the water/gylcerin mix dab onto face.
avoid extremes of water temp on face,
try to wear a hat to cover it , til it heals / since it may be very sensitive to sun right now, or cold
/ so be sure to cover it as you see fit.
no make up (on face) it til it heals. if you use facial makeup.
you can still put on eye /lip makeup.
about an hour before bedtime, do the routine thing again, and then apply a very thin coat of olive oil or almond oil to face.
this will allow it time to settle before sleeping.
i could advise you to do several other helps.. but i don't know what you have on immediate hand..
these things i know you can get at a local health store or walgreens kmart eckerds etc..
so you can take care of it NOW without waiting for orders to arrive etc.
no need to buy expensive cosmetic stuff.. and risk allergic reactions etc, plus all the chems they put in them.
rule of thumb right now..!! NO astringent toners.
no exfoilants, no more mudpacks lol !! for at least a month,
and when you do , start with egg white first 8)
talk to me after a bit and we can see work you up nice homemade lotion suits your face? ok?
also please avoid bath soaps on face under any circumstances
if you use storebought stuff/ check out a oatmeal soap/, gylcerin soap etc. Dr. Bronners etc.
we can discuss this later also if you want..
to make your own gentle facail wash gel or products you can use
that ar eall natural and gentle washes.
also NO scrubbing of face!! while it is healing>
use your hands or a very soft cotton clothe/
gently wipe .

This is a reply to # 368,155Thanks for your valuable advice! To think that I was even contemplating another mud mask today... I must be crazy!!
I don't have glycerin on hand but will try and get some soon. In the meantime, is there anything else that I can add to the rosemary tea? I have that as well as olive oil. What about copper colloids? I bought a bottle of that a while ago and use it as a facial spray... is it safe to continue using? I also have Flaxseed oil and aloe vera gel (but not fresh from the plant)..
I will do the olive oil on my face tonight although I have this fear that it might aggravate some of my clogged pores. The redness seem to have subsided a little and you are right... the skin is becoming to be dehydrated. On the other hand, it is also looking a little rough, like there are some tiny pumps beneath the skin/ pores. Is this also the results of too many strong mudpacks? I'm confused, as I thought all the toxins should have been sucked out.
Anyway, I guess the most important thing now is to nurse it back with very gentle measures. I shall keep you posted of the results.
Thanks again Wrenn.

This is a reply to # 368,156are you keeping your aloe vera gel in fridge?
it should be refridgerated . has a shelf life of 12-14 months
since i know nothing about the copper you say i cannot answer that.
yes all those mudpacks for all night probably severely tugged your pores. that is probably what you are seeing.
a few facial pore opening face steams might help with that.
boil water. set pan on potholder
hold towel over head and face and let it gently steam (don't get too close 8)
i would go get that glycerin. it is cheap , kmart has it for sure.. and i wouldn't dream of NOT using it in your circumstances
to help restore elasticity to your face. and with the water it helps seal the water in also.
rosemary tea is excellent about a tsp to a 4 ounce bit of water.
boil water, pour over herb, let steep 15 minutes, and use it in place of water with the glycerin would work great.
do you have oatmeal in house? cook up just a bare bit/
and gently rub it on and into face..let sit about 10 minutes
then rinse off with tepid water.
this will get your face butter soft fast and also help restore nutrients back.
oatmeal is excellent facial cleanser and so gentle
this should get you thru for now.
and take care of the rough spots too.
i don't know how old your oils are so i hestitate to say go for it..
when you go to get the glycerin, ask if they have a small bottle of almond or jojoba oil. jojoba is very helpful in restoring back your natural *sebum * face status..just apply a THIN layer.
i can offer you more advice, but some of that mightinvolve ordering stuff from herbal stores and i know you need take care of this NOW.
these are things you can get from local stores fast. or probably already have.
if you have no fresh aloe and your aloe gel has not been kept refridgerated, then see if you can buy red grapes
(just a few is ok.. )
cut one in half and rub on face.
not green ones they are astrignent..
use the red/purple ones.. very refreshing, cleansing and moisturising.
