  • 2. Removes Scars
  • 3. Improves Skin Complexion
  • 4. Treats Acne
  • 5. Improves Skin Elasticity
  • 6. Treats Dandruff
  • 7. Prevents Split Ends

1. Absorbs Excess Oil from Skin

Being a natural absorbent, fuller’s earth can be used to remove excess oil from oily skin. It can also unclog skin pores and balance the natural pH level of the skin. It’s commonly used as a homemade face pack.

  1. Mix together equal amounts of fuller’s earth, rose water, and sandalwood powder.
  2. Apply this mixture on your face as a face pack.
  3. Let it dry out naturally, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
  4. Repeat daily for very oily skin, or two or three times a week for moderately oily skin.

2. Removes Scars

Fuller’s earth can reduce the appearance of wound scars, minor burn marks or any other kind of scars to a great extent.

  1. Mix together ½ tablespoon each of fuller’s earth, vitamin E oil and lemon juice.
  2. Apply the mixture on the scar.
  3. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and then wash it off.
  4. Do this once or twice a week until the scar fades away.

3. Improves Skin Complexion

Fuller’s earth is an excellent cleansing agent that can improve your skin complexion.

  1. Mix together two tablespoons of fuller’s earth and curd.
  2. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes.
  3. Add one teaspoon of mint powder and blend the mixture well.
  4. Apply the mixture on your face and neck area.
  5. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes, and then wash it off with warm water.
  6. Use regularly, twice a week, to notice a huge improvement in your skin complexion.

This paste can also be used on arms and legs to enhance their complexion. This remedy is equally helpful for a suntan.

4. Treats Acne

If you struggle with acne and pimples, Fuller’s earth can surely solve your problem. It helps get rid of clogged pores and reduces excess oil secretion, two main causes of acne and pimples.

  1. Mix two teaspoons of fuller’s earth, one teaspoon of neem leaf paste, and enough rose water to make a thick paste. Optionally, add a pinch of camphor.
  2. Apply the paste over the affected area.
  3. Leave it on for 15 minutes, and then wash it off with plain water.
  4. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply a mild moisturizer.
  5. Use this remedy once a week to keep your skin acne free.

5. Improves Skin Elasticity

Droopy or sagging skin due to age is a common problem. Fuller’s earth can improve skin elasticity to help tighten and keep your skin smooth.

  1. Mix one tablespoon each of fuller’s earth, glycerin and honey to make a smooth paste. Mix in one beaten egg white.
  2. Apply the paste on your face.
  3. Relax without moving your facial muscles until the paste dries naturally. Then wash it off with lukewarm water.
  4. Use this remedy once a week.

6. Treats Dandruff

For ages, people have used fuller’s earth to treat dandruff. It absorbs oil, grease and dirt that cause dandruff. Plus, it facilitates blood circulation in the scalp, which is essential to keep the scalp clean and free of flakes.

  • Make a hair pack with equal amounts of orange peel powder and fuller’s earth. Apply it on your scalp and hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and then wash it off with water. Use a mild shampoo to wash your hair. Follow this home treatment once or twice a week to reduce dandruff effectively.
  • Another option is to mix four teaspoons of fuller’s earth and two teaspoons each of lemon juice and honey in one-half cup of plain yogurt. You can also add a few drops of water to get a better consistency of the paste. Apply it on your hair and scalp and leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing it off. Finally, shampoo and condition your hair. Do this once or twice a week.

7. Prevents Split Ends

It is a well-known fact that fuller’s earth is a good substitute for shampoo. It can also be used as a conditioner to prevent spit ends.

  • Simply wash your hair with fuller’s earth from time to time to keep your hair moisturized and prevent split ends. It will also makes your hair smooth, shiny, and promote hair growth as it stimulates circulation.
  • If you already have split ends, use a hot olive oil treatment, and then wash your hair with a mixture of fuller’s earth and milk (enough to make a smooth paste). The next day, wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Do this once or twice a week.

8. Straightens Hair

For straighter, thicker and less frizzy hair, fuller’s earth will work wonders.

  1. Mix one cup of fuller’s earth, five teaspoons of rice flour, one egg white and enough water to make a thin paste.
  2. Before going to bed, oil your hair with almond oil, olive oil, or any other hair oil.
  3. The next morning, comb your hair four or five times with a wide comb, and then apply the hair pack on your scalp and hair. While applying the pack, keep combing your hair to keep it as straight as possible.
  4. Leave it on for 40 minutes, and then wash it off with water.
  5. Use a spray bottle to spray about one-half cup of milk on your hair.
  6. Leave it on for 15 minutes, and then wash your hair with a mild shampoo followed by a conditioner.
  7. You hair will remain straight and bouncy until your next hair wash routine.

9. Relieves Tired Limbs

When your arms or legs are tired and hurt, use a fuller’s earth paste to stimulate blood circulation. Soon, you will feel less tired. The increased circulation can also benefit the heart, muscles and arteries throughout the body.

  1. Mix fuller’s earth and sufficient water to make a smooth paste.
  2. Apply the paste on the affected body parts.
  3. Allow it to dry on its own, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
  4. Use this remedy once a week or a few times a month.

10. Removes Dead Skin

Fuller’s earth also helps exfoliate dry flakes and dirt from your skin. You can prepare a moisturizing face mask that will help cleanse the skin and keep it well moisturized. It is highly effective for those who have dry skin.

  1. Mix one tablespoon each of fuller’s earth, honey and glycerin to make a smooth paste.
  2. Apply the paste on your face, allow it to dry naturally, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.
  3. Use this face mask once a week.

To sum up, fuller’s earth is immensely helpful in beautifying your skin and nourishing your hair so you don’t need to spend your hard-earned money in the beauty parlor. Next time you are shopping for beauty products, do not forget to buy fuller’s earth.

    • Faye says:

      No doubt you have already found it, but try your local tack shop or farm supply store. Some horses become “foot sore” for a few days after shoeing. Packing the hooves with Fuller’s Earth seems to remedy this. From these sources, buy it in 50 pound bags. The stuff is heavy for its volume so you can split it with a few like-minded friends. Remember: do NOT allow it to come in contact with metal. Here in Nova Scotia, I got mine at the tack shop at the end of our street.

    Where we get mint powder

    • Faye says:
      3 years ago

      Buy dried mint flakes in the grocery store and blitz them in a blender. I have a Vitamix with the dry grains jar but the regular jar works just great. Now, I don’t put the bentonite/Fullers Earth in the jar with the mint (remember that the blades are metal and we don’t want that to come in contact with the clay either) but I also don’t want to dull the blender blades with the earth.

    • Lillian says:

      Egg white has collagen which is what tightens the skin. I don’t think any other item will give as good results as that but you can try potato juice, it is known to tighten skin

    use fuller’s earth with rose water and honey, mix it well and apply it on ur face n neck,leave the areas around the eyes n eyebrows and leave it on,till it dry,it means it takes 15 to 20 minutes after that wash ur face with cold water.
    ur skin looks glowing and smooth and it also reduces pimples
    use this remedy atleast thrice [ 3 ] a week

    Hllo. ..
    It’s very gud information will we become fair in this

  28. Faye says:
    3 years ago

    Just in case my comment in a reply wasn’t read. Buy it in big bags at tack shops (stores dealing exclusively with equestrian supplies) or farm supply stores. A 50 pound bag here in Nova Scotia was less than $50 when I got it a few years ago.

    I use bentonite to make my toothpaste and a bit in my deodorant (powdered). Caution: I’m on a home sceptic system so I “spit” into a paper cup and dispose of it in the municipal compost bin rather than putting clay down the sceptic tank. Maybe it doesn’t matter; but I know it won’t decompose. I’m 68, so I only use it as a mask now and again in the summer and rinse it off outside with the garden faucet. My skin is only a bit oily in the winter so I can manage without it.

  29. Jeethu says:

    Does it need to keep the straightening mask(using Fuller’s earth) sit for 1 day before applying or can we just make it and use instantly?
