Professional insight
Estheticians treat bentonite as strong. They buy the plain powder and control the mix and time.
- Mix in glass or plastic, never a metal bowl.
- Vinegar makes a stronger mask than water.
- Short contact time suits dry or delicate skin.
- Mild redness after rinsing should fade within 30 minutes.
