You\u2019ll find a trusty jar of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/organic-extra-virgin-coconut-oil-29-oz-solid\/vs-2522\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coconut oil<\/a> in my well-stocked bathroom cabinet and I\u2019ve experimented with slathering everything from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/search\/healthy-kitchen\/N-cp98h2?search=honey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">honey<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/apple-cider-vinegar-16-fl-oz\/vs-1908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apple cider vinegar<\/a> all over my face. Which is why, when I found out that a bentonite clay powder with a cult following called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/aztec-secret-indian-healing-clay-1-lb-clay\/sw-1001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aztec Secret<\/a>\u2019s Indian Healing Clay was flying off The Vitamin Shoppe shelves, I immediately hunted down a jar.<\/p>\n<p>Bentonite clay comes from volcanic ash, and is known for its absorptive qualities, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ima-na.org\/?page=what_is_bentonite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Industrial Minerals Association of North America<\/a>. It\u2019s even used in the food industry to remove impurities from oils and clarify water and honey. In the beauty world, bentonite clay claims to be the \u2018world\u2019s most powerful facial\u2019 for deep pore cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>Well, we were about to find out.<\/p>\n<p>After getting home from the gym\u2014and with particularly grubby pores\u2014I hit the bathroom with my jar of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/aztec-secret-indian-healing-clay-1-lb-clay\/sw-1001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aztec Secret<\/a>\u2019s Indian Healing Clay, my trusty bottle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/apple-cider-vinegar-16-fl-oz\/vs-1908\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apple cider vinegar<\/a>, a bowl, and a spoon. (Note: The clay jar says to use a non-metal bowl and spoon and I play by the rules, so I used plastic.)<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>I mixed equal parts of the powdery clay and ACV, as guided by the instructions, and watched some serious chemistry happen. There was much bubbling and fizzling as I stirred. The end result was a thick grayish paste that looked a bit like wet concrete.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2115\"
