Fascinating Fullers Earth Face Masks

Fuller’s earth, also known as Multani mitti, is extremely useful for skin. It works a natural antiseptic and improves blood circulation. Plus, it helps cleanse and revitalize your skin.

It is considered particularly good for oily skin as this highly absorbent substance removes excess oil from the skin, tightens the pores, clears acne, and smoothes out wrinkles naturally.

This mineral clay is rich in iron oxide, calcium oxide, silica, magnesia, alumina, and lime. Fuller’s earth is not usually recommended for dry and sensitive skin.
