Make Mom's Day — Amazon's cult-fave facial mask is on sale for $12, today only
This year, why not surprise Mom with a skincare product that she probably hasn't heard of but has a loyal following of more than 50,000 Amazon shoppers? The Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask is a popular powder that gets mixed with water or apple cider vinegar to create a luxurious DIY mask. It's been an Amazon top-seller for years. And, right now a one-pound jar of the “world’s most popular facial" is an incredible value at $12. There are loads of other home-spa deals, too, that would create a thoughtful basket of goodies to make this Mother's Day one filled with pampering for the woman who takes care of everyone else. You'll need to act fast, though, because the sale lasts only until midnight.
From facials to foot soaks and acne spot treatments, fans of the multitasking mask, which is made with all-natural calcium bentonite clay to detoxify skin, swear by Aztec Secret for just about every skin concern.
For a healthy glow: “A dear friend introduced me to the clay almost two years ago while I was recovering from breast cancer, and I've never stopped using it. While in treatment, I was tired and looked run-down. Enter the magic clay. I did a mask using raw organic apple cider vinegar and felt my face pulsing so much, I looked in the mirror to see if it was moving. It 'sucked' out so many toxins, I looked years younger,” explained a happy customer. “My skin looks beautiful. I rarely have a breakout. I feel energized. Most of all, I'm happy with how I look and feel. One tub lasts about a year with weekly use.”
For an anti-aging facial: “My skin looks 15 years younger and more. I had good skin before; now it’s great,” raved a buyer. “Now at 69, I look much younger and fresher at my 50th class reunion than the rest. I take pride in my skin.”
For foot baths: “I have known about this product but mainly as a facial for the past 10 years. Over the past week I learned that it can be used on the hair,” wrote a loyal customer who called it a “versatile miracle.” She added: “What got me tonight was I decided to do a foot soak, and I was blown away.... My foot felt brand-new. So, in essence, without having to scrub but instead just barely rubbing my foot, all the dead skin came off. I followed up by putting on some whipped shea butter and socks and feel great.”
For acne: “I waited a year, after using up a whole jar and re-ordering, before writing a review,” explained one loyalist, who called it a “skin-saving product for an unbelievable price.... This clay mask is magical. The cystic acne that usually lasts one to two weeks is gone either overnight...or by the following day.... I have used this mixed with water and apple cider vinegar. It doesn't seem to do much/anything mixed with water, but is magical with the vinegar. I always need to moisturize extra well after using this.”
For sensitive skin and keratosis pilaris: “I have extremely sensitive skin and I'm allergic to basically everything, so I was very hesitant to try this product. I bought a plastic kit with measuring spoons and a bowl to mix the clay with as you should not use any type of metal (chemical reaction),” wrote a reviewer. “The clay works amazing on my skin. It will bring pimples to the surface (purging) and shrinks pores especially around my nose area.... I have also applied the paste to the back of my thighs where I have mild Keratosis pilaris and it has greatly reduced the bumps.”
For mature skin: “I have heard so much praise about this clay that I was very skeptical. But this stuff is great!” added a buyer. “When I rinsed it off, my 60-plus-year-old face felt like baby skin.... This is like a charcoal detox and a facial. I get as good a result from this once a week as the very costly micro-abrasion cream I had been using.... I'm amazed that a product this affordable is so good.”
