Aztec Healing Clay (AHC) - Thread 2

[p3tite_gurl]

Wala atang smaller tub. Kasi nung bumili ako tinanong ko kung meron mas maliit, wala daw.

[MsPringles]

Have you tried the best alternative for this? I tried the Kitty Litter as a substitute for this nung naubos ko na yung Aztec Healing Clay ko. They are both made of Bentonite clay. Finer lang texture ng AHC. Lucky for me when I saw Michelle Phan's vid for this because I have kitty litter for my pet cat.

At first I was like EEEEWWWW! Thinking cat litter meant the cat poop! lol! But then it made sense after watching her vid.

Parang gusto ko i-try ito. Hehe. Parang wala nang solusyon sa acne ko. I've tried almost everything--doxy, took pills for one year, facials, derma regularly... Wala. Okay sana yung derma ko dati, she gave me facials and chemical peeling lagi, tapos nakaka-boost pa siya mismo ng confidence (sasabihin niya okay na yung face kahit may acne pa, so medyo encouraging siya). Kaso magastos and di keri ng schedule ko.

Yung pills, I took them for one year! Sobrang ganda ng effect pero takot din ako baka mahirapan magkaanak sa future...

So ayun, pagka-stop ng pills, chenen!!! OA na naman ang skin. Yung pimples ko, sobrang liliit lang tapos halatang halata lang under bright light, especially sunlight... Sa cheeks and jawline and chin.

Right now, tina-try ko mag-water lang as facial wash (apparently may alcohol ang Cetaphil?). Also, I'm adding ACV to my water (3x daily, isang bottle cap-ful of ACV sa isang glass). Naka-1 day na ako na water lang as wash and ACV intake, parang sobrang dry naman ng skin ko? Anyway, continue ko to for two weeks to see...

May mga tao ba na hindi hiyang dito sa AHC? Feeling ko kasi nagiging sensitive skin ko pag OA sa skin care products ang gamit... Nakakanipis ba ito ng balat? Meron bang mga sis dito na kagaya ko ay na-try na lahat at triny itong AHC?

Iniisip ko rin kasi baka pwede kong i-try sa small areas din, kaso ang mahal pala nito! Haha.

Your feedback is appreciated.

^It's clay sis, It's unlikely na magkaallergy ka unless ma-inhale mo yung fine powder. Kung ACV yung gamit may hapdi depending on your skin condition. Try mo konti lang or more water. It just sucks the dirt from your pores and really tightens too.


---------------------------------------


AHC is calcium bentonite. I use Sodium Bentonite or better know as cat litter as my substitute for this. (They are both volcanic clay and can be used as masks and some are even made to be ingested.) Super watery lang ang use ko. Watch Michelle Phan's video about it. 

_{BTW, if you plan to buy cat litter check the ingredients. Some use silica instead of sodium bentonite or combination.}

gusto ko mag mask ulit. sino mga guisto mag try then we share the costing ng tub?

[grace.kelly]

sis minnie99, this is ot but don't you think it's hormonal imbalance? sabi mo kasi sa jawline and chin ang acne mo. ganyan kasi ako e, and nagawa ko na rin lahat ng na-try mo for acne hehe. IMO, di naman drastic ang changes sa acne ng ahc but it helps. lumiit ang pores ko saka glowing ang face. Mahal siya pero matagal maubos yan. Don't use it everyday.

[MsPringles]

How much na ba to ngayon mga sis?

[girlalou]

You can mix this with plain water + turmeric. Before, i mixed it with vinegar but since i have sensitive skin,hindi okay ang effect.

[Irtwisted]

I tried this and it's awesome. I can really feel my face pulsating. I experienced redness for about 20 minutes then afterwards I had glowing skin. It felt really clean. Even my boyfriend, who I forced to try it, now loves the Healing Clay.

^ Sis MsPringles, it's about P450+

[minnie99]

Can I just put this on my nose? Hahaha! Daming blackheads/whiteheads eh. Kaso sayang 450. :|

[snowpea]

Aztec Healing Clay is Calcium Bentonite, if you want a more affordable alternative na similar lang ang mineral content, try NOW Solutions 100% European Montmorillonite Clay...bought this on S**it.com for 290 I reckon.

"Bentonite and Montmorillonite clays often interchange names and have similar properties yet vary from deposit to deposit." sabi sa isang site. Montmorillonite comes from Montmorillon, France. Green clay din ito.

[purple.strawberry]

Have tried this before, nakakadry siya ng pimples after a few days. Sulit na sa price kasi matagal mong magagamit. Works best with apple cider vinegar. Yun nga lang, for me ang kelangan ko that time is prevent pimples from forming, prevention ba instead of cure, and ang nagwork sa'kin is pills, which I have to take continuously. That said, I think Aztec is still worth your money, lalo na dun sa mga gusto magtry.

[angelvenus]

Sisses, if gagamit ba nito.. after u wash your face with your cleanser then mask? Also gumagamit pa kayo toner and creams? Yung beauty rituals niyo o the next day na? Thanks

[annamarie88]

i bought mine the other day sa HO atc sabay with acv, i think mga 400 plus sya.. altho maliit naman ata pores ko sa skin, problem ko lang is sa nose ko, may blackheads, parang may dots ako sa nose when you zoom in & pimples here & there pag magkakaron na.. hehe i think id like to buy first sa sesou yung lalagyan where i can mix it with the brush.. i hope okay for me

[pinkpie]

I also like to try this, matagal na akong naghahanap ng good facial mask buti na lang nabasa ko ito. Isasabay ko na din ang pag-inom ng ACV.

[pjiyeon]

2 weeks ko na to ginagamit.. walang effect sakin

[cecilydee]

Hindi ko to hiyang. Nag dry ang skin ko sayang. Anyway nagbago na kasi skin type ko. Dry sensitive na. Kung oily-sensitive parin skin ko siguro maganda ang result sa akin.

[happyscent]

This worked really well for my cleaning my pores. 2x a week ko ito ginagamit with ACV, you just have to make sure to moisturize after using the clay. No need to buy superexpensive clays.

Guys, for those worrying about the cost, think of the long-term.

450/1lb of powdered clay is, according to the instructions, worth 10-15 clay masks, but the advice is for masks about 1/4 inch thick.

I don't make masks that thick, na para atang soft cement. I mix it to be slippery and soft enough to resemble, eh, baby food? Parang pureed ba? What I have is yung leftover na scoop from infant formula and that's what I use to just take out the powder, and add enough ACV to make the desired consistency.

At best it's a not-quite-heaping tablespoon of powder with about a tablespoon of ACV plus a teaspoon more. I'm on my 2nd tub of Aztec clay. Even using it on my sister, mom and brother, my 1st tub lasted more than 2 years. Imagine niyo, 450 over 2 years?

[annamarie88]

Hindi pa rin ako nakabili ng mixing lalagyan ko para magamit ko na sya hehe okay kaya to sa normal to dry skin?
