Hereof, how do you use bentonite clay?
Mix bentonite clay powder with water to make a thick paste. Apply to the areas of skin that are prone to oil or acne. Leave the mask on for 20 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Repeat two or three times per week.
One may also ask, can I drink bentonite clay before bed? To clear your body of toxins on the inside, mix 1 teaspoon of food grade calcium bentonite clay powder in about 2 ounces of water – but don't drink right away! You should wait at least one hour before drinking – I like to mix mine up before bed and then drink it first thing in the morning.
Just so, can I eat bentonite clay?
Internally. Bentonite clay can also be consumed in small amounts. Bentonite clay might even help your gut absorb more nutrients by increasing the flora in your intestines. Eating bentonite clay does have benefits for some people looking to improve symptoms of IBS, leaky gut, and other digestive conditions.
How long does bentonite clay take to work?
If your face feels dry, you've probably left the mask on too long. We advise that you leave the clay on your face only until it just starts to dry; there should still be some stickiness left to most of the clay. This usually takes no more than 15 minutes.
