^ that i know of, no, it's not the same thing because bentonite clay powder is not only for the face, it says on the label that it can be used anywhere.

 

[stealthmodesteph]

I'm going to give it a try tonight to see if it works- its clay and it's supposed to draw out impurities, etc. so it can't be that bad hopefully... I'll report back

 

[izzie stevens]

^ hopefully is works in the same manner, because if it does, you'll be delighted. i love bentonite clay powder. it's god sent!

[izzie stevens]

I always get those flesh coloured bumps, usually on my chin, but now they've migrated to my cheek area and my chin is clear. I think they are hormonal, since I've noticed that they flare up during that lovely time in a girl's life Have you ever had them before?

Yes, I have had them before on my forehead and just below the under eye area.
I think your right about hormones too, they did appear at that lovely time.
I've stopped using that moisturiser and I havn't noticed anymore yet!

green clay is not the same, but I've tried it too and... well it didn't draw the impurities out that well, but at least it's not damaging for the skin. my skin always looked more radiant after I had used it, but it doesn't do too much about the acne, at least not for me.

OCM is amazing! I did this for a while, but then I got lazy and kind of stopped doing it regularly. I used a mixture of olive oil and castor oil and it didn't break me out.

^ oh. i use mac. their pressed powder is light and allows my pores to breathe.

Izzie, what's the name of the one you use? There is like 100 different powders.. Is it the one called Select Sheer Pressed Powder or is it just called pressed powder? I'm a bit confused!

 

[izzie stevens]

^ i use the select sheer pressed when i feel as if i need coverage. if not, i just use some blot powder and i am ready to go!

For those who use makeup, I know several women who have insisted on using specific mineral powder cosmetics and they claim that they never have breakout situations nor do they worry about leaving it on over night.

i think leaving anysort of makeup(mineral or not) on overnight is bad

 

[cuiviénen]

^ Ages the skin right?

 

[voguelover94]

^^ i just think makeup on my clean pillow cases...

it blocks your pores

mineral make up (bare escentuals only) has been my solution to acne after 12 years..I can't rave about it enough!(well,I have but in the bare minerals thread!)
and it doesn't come off on your pillow,your phone,your clothes..though I always take my make up off at night.The one time I slept with it though it dried up a zit and gave me glowing skin so I don't have to worry if I leave it on again by mistake..please try it..I had a serious case of cystic acne and I was really considering accutane before trying it.I had literally tried everything...12 years was a lot of experimental time..
