As you may have read in previous posts on this blog, my skin and I have rarely been friends (or even civil acquaintances) so far in life and the appearance of it has frequently made me feel self-concious and depressed. With a combination of hyper-sensitivity and acne it has always been tricky to find products that can benefit both aspects particularly when it comes to face masks. Many are designed to either be aggressively acne clearing, and therefore drying, or "thirst quenching", a.k.a smotheringly greasy.
For years I avoided face masks like crazy and would, on occasion, make my own with ingredients from my kitchen just to ensure that I knew all of the contents were simple, natural and non-irritants. Whilst doing some internet research on natural ingredients that make for great masks I came across Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. After reading several positive reviews from people with all skin-types, I decided to give it a go.
