forget mixing up a powder this is so much better than that [SEP] no one tells you when you are young that your face will break out even as an adult especially when things are stressful or it is just that time of the month i had some friends tell me that mud masks are especially helpful for this but that they are also good for exfoliating and keeping skin healthy i tried using some bentonite clay as it says you can use it as a mud mask but it ended up clumpy and hard to spread on my face i always ended up making too much too which only wasted it it was too much trouble and i stopped using it i decided to give the dead sea mud mask a go it is much darker than i expected my entire face was blue grey it is very easy to spread on i just used one finger and small swisp on each section of my face it does not take too much i figured it would take a big scoop but really it took much less i have used it three times already each before bed and you cannot even see a dent in how much was in the jar i left it on about minutes each time and then wiped it off with a wet wash cloth my skin feels softer is not breaking out and my husband even noticed a difference i received this product to try in exchange for an honest and unbiased review this does not guarantee a good review so if i give the product one it means i truly believe it deserves it everything in this review is my own and has not been influenced or altered in any way
