Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Deep Pore Cleansing Face & Body Mask, Natural Calcium Bentonite Clay

A: Hello! It is best to ask a Target store associate as product location can vary.

A: I have looked for it in different stores and never found it, it´s better to shop it online.

A: I found it in the beauty section. There are rows of sheet masks and "frilly" colorful looking face masks and eventually I saw a row of cleaner looking products that looked like you'd find em at a dermatologist office and that's where the clay mask was.

A: I add a small amount of water and make a paste, and then thin it out. Hope that helps :)

A: You can mix the clay with either water or 100% apple cider vinegar to create the mask, but most users prefer using ACV. The combination of the clay and the vinegar creates a more even, clump-free paste than water makes

A: I would recommend getting “food grade” clay, than you can use it for every thing

A: No, we cannot make homemade toothpaste.

A: Generally, clay is used for absorbing excess oils so, no, I wouldn't think that would do anything for wrinkles.

A: There are many uses for clays including facials, acne, body wraps, clay baths, foot soaks, as well as chilled clay for knee packs and insect bites. Enjoy the benefits of clay in your own home.

A: Here's what you need to know: No official expiration date: Most jars don't list an expiration date because the clay, in its dry powdered form, can last for a very long time — often indefinitely. Storage matters: As long as the clay is kept dry and sealed tightly, away from moisture and contaminants, it should remain effective. Check for signs of spoilage: If moisture got into the container, and it smells off or has visible mold, it's best to toss it. If the texture has changed significantly (clumping, hard chunks that don’t break up), it may have absorbed moisture and might not work as well. So if your jar looks and smells fine, and the clay is still dry, you're good to go!

A: Double cleanse daily to remove makeup, sunscreen, and impurities, keeping your skin prepped for other products. Use the Aztec Healing Clay 1–2 times weekly for deep pore detox, oil control, and breakout prevention. If you combine both, avoid using them on the same day to prevent over-cleansing or irritation. Hydrate well after the clay mask, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. Tailor the frequency based on your skin type—more often for oily skin, less for dry or sensitive skin. Both together can help maintain clean, healthy skin!

A: Yes, a 12-year-old can use the Aztec Healing Clay, but it’s important to be cautious. Mix it with water (not apple cider vinegar) for gentler use and start with short application times (5–7 minutes). Use it no more than once a week and always perform a patch test to check for sensitivity. Temporary redness is normal, but if a rash or prolonged irritation occurs, stop using it and apply a soothing moisturizer. Consult a dermatologist if needed.

A: Bentonite clay, when used correctly, can be beneficial for dogs, especially for addressing skin issues. However, there are some important considerations to ensure it's safe and effective: 1. Purity and Safety The product you mentioned, Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay, is a natural calcium bentonite clay. It is generally considered safe for external use on pets, as long as it’s 100% pure with no added fragrances, essential oils, or other chemicals. Verify the product label to ensure it contains only bentonite clay and no additives. 2. Application Guidelines Dilution: Mix the clay with water to create a very thin paste (super diluted, as your vet mentioned). Ensure it’s smooth and free of lumps. Spot Test: Apply a small amount to a small area of your dog’s skin to ensure they do not have an allergic reaction. Wait 24 hours before wider application. Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply near the eyes, mouth, or any open wounds. 3. Internal Use Unless explicitly directed by a veterinarian, do not give bentonite clay internally to your dog. Internal use requires veterinary supervision to ensure proper dosage and safety. 4. Rinsing Off After the clay dries (but before it cracks), gently rinse it off with lukewarm water. Do not leave it on for too long as it can dry out the skin. 5. Consult Your Vet Before using any new treatment, it’s always a good idea to double-check with your vet, especially since they are familiar with your dog’s medical history. Final Note While bentonite clay can help with skin irritations, itching, or hot spots, the underlying cause of your dog’s skin issues should be addressed. Common causes include allergies, infections, or parasites, and these might require additional treatment.

A: While we don't consume it regularly, our family has used it for years for tummy/digestive issues (kinda like popping those chalky tablets). I keep a slurry in the fridge and stir it with a glass of water when the need arises. We have experienced no negative effects.

A: No, We cannot use it in pregnancy.
