You just make a paste and dab it on, let dry, then wash off. Or you can wash your face with the paste as maintenance without having it dry.
I have seen lotions and soaps that contain clay already but I would think the straight stuff is much more effective and im sure less expensive in the long run.

The same way it draws out spider venom or pimples is the same premise it draws out toxins that cause cellulite.
When I was younger I did one of those plastic body wraps. It takes inches off instantly and tightens and smooths cellulite. Only thing is it returns pretty fast and sometimes comes back worse.
I also did body brushing on my thighs.
Clay does what the plastic wrap did but much better. Though the inches arent gone instantly, it clears the cellulite and smooths/tightens the skin. Much deeper than the plastic. It removes it and it stay gone unless you go crazy with the diet and never use it again for a long while. And clay did for me in less than a month what it took body brushing to do in 6 months.
Not sure if it was so effective because I take it internally and externally but it works. Its even suppose to work on spider veins but I dont have any so I cant say if it works or not personally.
But it works for cellulite! Its no mistake the spas and retreats charge big bucks for clay wraps and even serve brownies with clay in them. This stuff works, and if I had the casholah to blow I would pay for it in a spa. But I dont, so I make my own clay smoothies and do my own skin treatments.
There is nothing as indulgent as doing a sea salt/coconut oil exfoliation then a clay treatment on the legs. Your legs feel like butter after.
Oh I forgot to add to the list earlier, clay is also great for soothing the leg/bikini area after hair removal. Wether its waxing or shaving. And its a great skin softener on the feet, elbow, and knees. Not quite as good as a parafin wax but over time it gets the same results.
Did I say how much I love clay
