does multani mitti remove acne - #44118
I am kinda desperate to find something that actually works for my acne and I've heard people rave about Multani Mitti. I've been struggling with acne for years now, and tried so many products, natural and otherwise. My skin gets super oily, especially in summer, and nothing seems to do the trick. I keep scrolling through forums and I keep coming across this Multani Mitti thing — like, does Multani Mitti remove acne really? A friend said that it's like a magic clay or something that helps with oily skin. I tried asking my dermatologist, but honestly, she was kinda vague about it. Anyway, last week I gave it a go, mixed it with rosewater, but I dunno — felt like it dried out my skin too much? Or maybe that’s the point? A part of me wonders if I’m doing it wrong or if it’s just one of those trendy things that’s not effective for everyone. I've read mixed reviews online and it’s hard to tell what's legit. Could it really be an answer to “does Multani Mitti remove acne” or should I just stick to what my doctor recommends? Would love any input or experience you guys have had with this! Thanks!

Multani Mitti, or Fuller’s Earth, is often hailed as a natural remedy for oily, acne-prone skin. In Ayurveda, it’s considered tridoshic, meaning it can balance all three doshas, but it may especially benefit Kapha and Pitta types, those prone to oily skin and acne. Its high absorbing properties are great for removing excess oil and unclogging pores, which can prevent the formation of new acne lesions. However, while it does address one aspect of acne formation, it isn’t a stand-alone treatment. Acne is a complex condition influenced by diet, lifestyle, hormones, and your unique prakriti (constitution).
Given that your skin turned dry after using Multani Mitti with rosewater, it’s possible it was too drying for your specific skin type — over-drying your skin may actually trigger more oil production as the skin attempts to compensate. You could try mixing Multani Mitti with ingredients like yogurt or honey, which add moisture while still benefiting from the oil-absorbing properties. Also, use it no more than twice a week, monitoring how your skin reacts.
Additionally, considering a holistic approach will yield better results. Follow a Pitta-Kapha pacifying diet that reduces heats and increases digestibility. Include more fresh fruits, leafy greens, and fiber-rich foods while reducing spicy, oily, and processed foods. Drink plenty of water, throwing in a small pinch of turmeric to help cleanse from the inside out.
Focus on your digestion too, since in Ayurveda, a sluggish Agni is known to contribute to skin problems. Simple lifestyle changes like maintaining regular meal times, incorporating gentle yoga, and ensuring you’re getting enough sleep can balance your doshas over time.
Remember, consistency with Ayurvedic practices is key, but also do consult your dermatologist if your acne is severe or if you notice persistent irritation. They can offer treatments to complement your natural regimen.
