Clay on face
Female - 16
Hi, in my art class at school we are using clay and it really dries out our hands. If I put it on my face where I am oily would it dry it out and make the blemishes go away? What else might happen?
Thankss

look your face has millions of tiny pores on it. putting the clay on your face is not going to remove the blemishes it will dry your face out and will become dirty. if you are having problems with blemishes you should seek medical attention. meaning a dermatologist. hope this helps

Your face has millions of pores on it, and those pores produce oils, if you put clay on it it your face is going to produce more oil since the clay is going to dry it out. That's a really bad idea. Try to see a dermatologist.

I'd try it, I mean, you never know what'll work.
But blemishes aren't caused by oil on the surface of your skin, they're caused by oil under the surface that clogs pores. The fact that the top of your skin is oily is only a symptom of the fact that your body is producing a lot of oil. Personally, I've had cleansers that dried out my skin so much my face went into hyper-oil mode to restore itself, and I ended up with more blemishes, and that might happen to you with the clay. But trying won't kill you, it's non-toxic, so if you feel like it give it a try.

Generally speaking, you should avoid any idea that can be summed up with the statement "Let's put this on my face and see what happens."

no! dont stick that clay on your face. it will clog your pours and make your blemishes worse! and you could totally breakout in something! good luck!

It will probably dry out your face TOO much. You could also break out from something in the clay.
However, clay masks that are actually MEANT for your face work extremely well :)
