So I've been using Aztec Secret Indian Bentonite Healing Clay for a week now. Not everyday, some days in a row but then I'll switch it up and not use it for a couple of days. I've been mixing it with raw acv instead of water.Every time I use it, however, it seems like I break out or little bumps appear literally immediately after removing the mask. I read somewhere that acv being acidic causes you to purge, is this true?Am I purging or breaking out? The little red bumps don't "hurt" and they mostly appear on my cheeks where my pores are large. At first it seemedto worsen the acne on my forehead but now it seems to be getting better so this keeps me hopeful that I'm just purging. Are my pores just that clogged and it truly is bringing every thing to the surface? Should I continue use and see what happens? I just hate how my acne has worsened.

Id find the hard to believe that clay would cause breakouts other than what's already there

DO NOT use it days in a row. Use it every other day or 1 time a week. Its strips your pores so that is why you shouldn't use it all the time. When you use it the clay brings everything to the surface. I actually just got a new tub in today and I am going to use it tomorrow.
