The BamShell Thoughts>>>

This stuff is quite popular that it has been a cult favorite and definitely an HG for my sister and mom. This is not a miracle worker that zap your zits and blackheads overnight, but it's a great basic treatment preventing it from getting worse. As I've mentioned above, this could be quite drying so feel free to apply only to areas where you need it.

I only use this stuff once a week or when needed, so what I do is wash my face with a gentle facial scrub, pat dry and apply a thin layer of this masque on my face. I let it sit for an hour and wash it off with a lukewarm water and towel, then I slap on some good moisturizer right after.

Tips

• This stuff is a pain to remove, so soak a towel into a lukewarm water, press it against skin and gently massage, repeat as needed.
• Make sure to give the tube a good squeeze and shake before using, as the water gets separated from the clay especially when it's already halfway
• Apply a thicker layer on blemishes and a thin layer onto the rest of the face
• Do not apply near the eye area, as this stuff hardens and might irritate the sensitive thin skin around the eye area.
• The masque works better if you exfoliate first, it allows the product to penetrate even better
• Your guy might like this stuff, too, it would keep his oilies at bay for several hours and would make skin firmer and fresher.
• The product applies smoother when the skin is still moist (right after wash)
