What happens if you use aztec clay mask everyday?

If you’re into skincare, it’s likely that someone has raved about the aztec clay mask. This magical potion promises to help anyone get rid of acne, unclog pores and exfoliate their skin; it almost sounds too good to be true. One question often asked is whether one can use aztec clay mask everyday or not – this piqued our interest here at Dermatologist Monthly.

The Lowdown on Aztec Clay Masks

Aztec clay masks have been around for centuries in various civilizations as a form of natural skincare. The main ingredient is bentonite, which comes from volcanic ash that contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron. Aztecs used this mineral-rich substance along with water to cleanse themselves inside out (more on that later). Today’s formulations include other natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar and essential oils for added benefits.

Can I Use My Aztec Clay Mask Every Day?

Short Answer: It Depends.

If we start with the general guideline, most experts suggest using an aztec clay mask once or twice a week maximum because overdoing it can lead to stripping your skin of its natural oils (no one wants that). But given everyone’s preferences are different (you do you), some people might find they want more frequent masking sessions or feel their skin benefits from them after each wash.

Let’s Delve Deeper

There are pros and cons associated with both options:

Pros Of Daily Usage:

1) Gets rid of excess oil build-up.
2) Unclogs your pores faster
3) Helps maintain clear radiant-looking complexion.
4) Promotes even tone
5) Aids better product absorption than before

Cons Of Daily Usage:

1) Skin will dry up fast
2) Causes sensitivity issues due to constant deep cleaning process
3) Chances of triggering acne breakouts increase
4) Allergic reactions may occur.

Here’s a tip from our Dermatologist Panel: If you do decide to use it daily, start slow and gradually increase frequency as your skin adapts. Monitor the way your skin reacts along with what feels best for you. A noticeable change in the appearance of the skin around 14-21 days after regular use can give you an idea if this routine suits your needs or not.

Alternatives To Everyday Use

If using aztec clay mask everyday doesn’t seem like something that would work for you, there are other ways to get similar benefits without overdoing it:

Face Washes And Scrubs

Using an effective facial scrub twice/thrice-weekly is ideal if you’re looking for exfoliation that won’t dry out your precious face (most beloved skincare product). Not all scrubs are created equally however – some contain ingredients that might irritate sensitive skins so better stick with trusted brands.

Oil Cleansing

This method could resolve all beginner woes surrounding excessive sebum production and clogged pores caused by dirt build-up (assuming no more than moderate stress on glands i.e., smoking/ tobacco usage not included) (which promotes oil flow within these body cavities due to vasoconstriction at nerve ends).

Pair any of these additional steps with weekly masking sessions for ultimate glowing-skin end results!

Conclusion

In conclusion, using aztec clay masks every day has both its pros and cons but provided adequate monitoring is done; we don’t see anything significantly wrong associated with doing so. We say try it yourself – make sure not to strip away too much natural oil from those oily prone areas near T-Zones though! Remember everyone’s skin type is different (we’re all special snowflakes) so pay attention to how yours reacts and customize accordingly. Lastly, here’s a friendly reminder that skincare routines should be fun and fuss-free, never stressful or complicated (we know we do it to make our lives better, not harder).
