Has anyone made a body wrap with this and sodium bentonite clay? How did it work? How much of each did you use, how did you apply it; for how long?

Use only 3 tbsp seaweed power, 1/4 cups ea of olive oil and sea salt, drops of essential oil (lemongrass or Ilang-Ilang, etc. - at your personal choice). Mix until smooth all together. Start to use where cellulites are obvious. Leave between 10-15 minutes. Wash out in mild water with body wash. Use this treatment regularly, then you will notice the smoothness in your skin. Note: No sodium bentonite clay were added. I am currently using the formula on my neck and other parts of the body. Hope this helps. (This formula was originated from Dr. Oz show on how to treat cellulites).

I use 3 table spoons Seaweed Powder, 1/4 cup sea salt, 5 drops lemongrass oil and warm water to get the mixture to my desire texture. Also I use 3 table spoon Seaweed Powder, 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar and warm water to get the mixture to my desire texture. I interchange both. I put it on my body with my hand, wrap with plastic. Leave on for half an hour, then rinse with warm water. I started doing it every day, and now I do this twice per week. It leaves my skin silky and glowing.

1 cup clay or benzonite, 1/4 cup sea salt, 2 tbsp olive oil and 2 cups of water. Mix and make a paste. I leave it on 45 minutes to an hour. I have heard some people leave it on over night.

Hi Nonnie, I use the product religiously and started wearing them over night. I got tired of that real quick and began wrapping a few hours (2-4) hours before bed. I got the same fabulous results in the shorter timeframe that I did wearing it over night. Water intake is the key to success...lets say you wrap for the first time on a Monday night...start drinking water monday morning. I typically keepA bottle of water by my bed to sip on if I get thirsty but other than that, I've never continued drinking over night. Just make sure you drink half of your body weight in water everyday while doing the series of wraps. If you follow these simple guidelines, you will get results!! Happy wrapping!

Bentonite mixed with water and sprayed on apples provides 100% protection from insects. French green clay is best for facials and killing bacteria. French red clay is also used, and considered less effective, however I have not tried it. Clay absorbs radiation.

Would like to clear this up. This is not a product that causes 'heating or tingling or burning' of any kind. When you apply it, it will feel like the product is 'sitting' on your skin. It is done for a reason, so you don't have to use any cling wrap or any other props to make it work. Some people feel it more and some less. It's totally normal. When you put your clothes on, the areas of application will feel warmer and probably a little more sweat prone. This is just how it works. That's what we call a 'sauna' effect.

Calcium bentonite has artificial additives to make it swell more as calcium bentonite does not swell as well as sodium bentonite. So make sure you know what additives they put it. Sodium bentonite is pure, and not additives are needed. Also, always ask for the MSDS on any bentonite product, together with a separate chemical analysis. If the seller does not have it, alarm bell.

I am not sure what other people use, but I bake it, sand it, and spray it with Krylon clear acrylic spray. I believe that you can paint it with latex paints. I think you could find some good information on Utube and search Scupty. Another good idea is to do a Google search under the type of craft you are doing, or under the type of material you are using. Good luck. Things will probably be fine no matter what you use. I avoid any oil based paints because of unknown or bad chemical reactions with the clay.

I used it both ways and it absolutely done nothing for me. I spent 100s on the wraps and never no change. All body's are different tho. I hope this helps. My opinion tho save your $$$$

I can only say that when I first used Biofreeze in small packets on my shoulder it worked great. I have used it on my back and knees and didn't quite get the same result. An acquaintance of mine uses it all of the time and thinks it wonderful. I don't know that the inactive ingredients are but I would try the crème if I were you.

I was curious so I contacted Frontier. Here is their reply: Hi Jill, Thank you for contacting us! The bentonite clay powder we offer is a non-swelling, calcium type of bentonite. Our bentonite powder is for external use only, not intended for internal use. We have a cosmetic license for this product, not a food grade license as we market this product for use in a mask for skin care. If there is anything else we may help you with please don't hesitate to ask! Have a wonderful day! Best Regards, Deb Customer Care Frontier Natural Products Coop However, I tend to agree with Danielle and Anne. The company probably needs to protect themselves...

Depending upon how you use this product - in soap or as a facial medium. As a facial medium, that also depends upon what other ingredients you mix it with, other additives besides the green clay. Then there's the liquid part, that can be many things as well. But in all, depending upon skin type I'd say 10 minutes and no longer than 20. Again that all varies with skin type and other added ingredients used to make the facial mask.

I used plasticine to sculpt a mask, then used the silicone to make a mold from it. It works fine, the smooth-on is a liquid so you pour it over the clay and let it dry. I had no problems with the 4 masks I did with it.

I use hypafix tape which is also easier on my skin. This has worked very well for me.

I just looked it up and found this link: www.a1msm.co.uk/msm_lotion_recipe.htmIt uses aloe vera gel to mix with. Hope it works.

Mmmm...not sure about the clay, the surface is rather slick and smooth, but perhaps could be sanded to be roughed up at hold clay. I did wrap it in plaster bandages and they did hold. Perhaps you could put clay over these bandages as they would provide a rough surface also. Good luck!

Very hard but it has to be overworked on. Best if don soon. I use antibacteria lemon or lavender handsoap. This always works with a little work. I'm glad I GOT this question. It reminded me to order more. I love it! Also great with a brush of baking powder lightly over the makeup.amazing finish.
