Multani Mitti or Fuller’s Earth is a clay that has healing properties and fights against acne and blemishes. It was originally used in the wool industry as an absorbent. It is rich in magnesium chloride which helps reduce acne. Since centuries, multani mitti has been used by women especially in the Asian continent for a glowing flawless skin. It can be used as a cleanser, toner, and face pack and is inexpensive as well.
