Multani mitti or Fuller’s earth makes an excellent cleansing mask, and possesses highly absorbent qualities. It is rich in minerals and when applied to the skin in the form of a paste, it helps improve circulation; it hardens slowly as it dries, and absorbing the dead cells on the top of the skin and dries up any excess oil. 
The mineral ingredient in fuller’s earth giving the absorbent action is the hydrated aluminium silicate. Grease of the skin, coats the particles of aluminium silicate and is lifted away from the skin when the mask is removed. It is therefore unsuitable for a dry skin but is excellent for an oily skin.
Multani mitti mask
Ingredients:
Multani mitti – 1 tbsp,
Rose water – 1 tbsp
Method:
Mix the 2 ingredients to form a smooth paste. Apply to the skin leaving the area around the eyes. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes or until completely dry. Rinse off with warm water.
The result is a clear pinkish skin. The tinge is due to the stepping up of blood circulation and all the excess grease and dead cells are cleared away.
For those with perspiration problem, Fuller’s earth mixed with talc powder makes a very good foot powder. It can be sprinkled into the shoes or rubbed directly onto the feet.
Do not use fuller’s earth mask if you have a very dry or sensitive skin. It’s highly absorbent property is something which a dry or sensitive skin can hardly take.

No other products can actually compete with natural home based recipes. It not only makes the skin supple and gorgeous, but it even keeps the skin beautiful for a long period. But unfortunately, we run out of time. So we hardly find any time to apply these facial masks. We look out for short cuts that are easily available in markets as alternatives.
if your face is oily then go ahead use multani mitti but not if you have a dry skin as it makes your skin more drier
its very safe n d cheapest & quickest skin treatment u can think of.......

Fullers Earth - This sedimentary clay has enormous drawing capabilities and is the number one choice for oily skin and those prone to acne. It draws oil from the skin and has been widely used for this exact purpose. Removes dead skin cells, great cleanser. Good for oily or normal skin.

I love this mask! I use it once a week when i have 10 minutes to spare, just apply it, let it dry and rinse off, and in 10 minutes you have soft, smooth skin. Your pores a visibly smaller and it takes off all the oils and just makes your skin look absolutely gorgeous!
Multani mitti (Fuller's earth) is recommended for oily skins. If we use it in extremely dry skin it makes the skin more dry. We use green gram flour to wash body and hair. It also make dry skin more dry
Take fuller’s earth in a bowl, put water in it and mix well. Leave it aside for 2 hours. After 2 hours mix it well again with a spoon and add water to reach a consistency apt for applying on the scalp and hair. Apply the mixture on your scalp and hair and gently massage the scalp for some minutes. Wash hair thoroughly with water. Then leave your hair to dry. This gives a lot of shine and bounce to the hair and makes them very silky to touch.
is multanni mitti good for remove pimple marks, dark spot and pigmentation
It thoroughly cleanses the skin of excess oil and sebum and this prevents pimples. It removes dead cells and brightens the skin but doesn't help with pigmentation problem.

how offen we can use multali mitti mask?daily or weekly?
@Anonymous comment #24: If your skin is oily/combination, use it twice a week. In summers if you find your skin too greasy, use it thrice a week. If your skin is extremely dry, better avoid it. If you want to use Multani mitti, but feel that it might prove to be too drying for your skin, what you can do is, along with rose water add some milk cream/yoghurt and a few drops of olive oil/coconut oil.
take 2 spoon mitti and chandan powder mix it with rose water.
Apply this pack for half an hour then wash with cold water
do this daily morning and evening. it ll make ur skin fresh and smooth. try this u ll find effective within a week.
Fullers Earth (Multani Mitii) is the best for acne and pimples of the face. If it is dry your face then you have to use it with honey that will also tighten your skin.

How to Close Pores on the Face? and how we remove black and white heads from nose?
if my skin is both oily and dry, then can i use multhani mitti + rose water??????
@Anonymous comment #33: Refer to the posts Pore shrinking mask recipes, Blackheads-How to remove them & Whiteheads.
@Anonymous comment #34: What do you mean by your skin being both oily and dry? Is it combination type, oily in the T-zone and dry cheeks? In that case, add a few drops of olive oil/almond oil to the multani mitti+rose water mask and apply it to the dry parts and for oily parts you can skip the oil.
Fuller's earth is also a natural way to remove impurities without stripping the hair of its natural moisturisers. Medically, the clay absorbs bacteria and toxins and reduces water loss. Because of its high mineral content, it is used to reduce arthritic pain, and strengthen fingernails, teeth, gums and hair. It has even been used as an emergency treatment for individuals who have ingested a harmful substance, in order to decrease the amount of poison absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract.
Take one egg white, a teaspoon of multani mitti powder, a few drops each of peppermint extract and water. Soak multani mitti powder in the water for half an hour. Beat the egg and blend in all the ingredients together. Mix the soaked multani mitti powder in the mixture. Apply this on the face for 15 minutes and wash off with lukewarm water. This is also a good mask for oily skin.
To use, apply small amounts of the mixture to the body. Start at the feet and work up. Concentrate on areas of dull skin. Gently massage the mixture into the skin and leave for a few minutes to dry before getting into the shower. Use warm water to rinse off all traces of the mudpack, and then shower.
Just mix multanni mix with water to make a fine paste. Apply this paste all over your face and neck and let it dry for 10-20 minutes. Wash it off wet water
I guess mud mask is good for oily skin because it reduces oil.my skin is not oily so when I use mud mask,my skin becomes dry.
Try a bit on your arm and see if you get any kind of reaction. Even if it's 'just' redness don't use it =) Multani mitti (pure) is ideal for people with oily skin, it also helps tighten large pores and draws a lot of clogged dirt and sebum from pores.
Is it fine to apply multani mitti daily....????
;)
@Anon (comment #43): Your face will become too dry if you apply it daily. Use it twice or thrice a week if your skin is oily (in summers too)and once in two weeks if your skin is dry. Also read comment #25
