What is Multani Mitti

Mitti means mud or clay. Since the clay is believed to have originated in a place called Multan, it derives the name from a direct interpretation of “clay or mud from Multan.” Multani mitti, also known as Fuller’s earth, is a mineral-rich clay material that has long been used as a beauty ingredient. Originally used as an absorbent in the wool industry, multani mitti is now a staple ingredient in a lot of beauty and skin care products. It is an abundant source of minerals like magnesium, silica, quartz, calcium, iron, calcite, and dolomite.

The ingredient is popularly used as a remedy for acne and blemishes. However, a lot of people are unaware of how versatile multani mitti is when it comes to the benefits it offers for your face, skin, and health. Following is a list of the 14 different uses and benefits of multani mitti.

Multani Mitti For Face

1. Exfoliates

Multani mitti is known for its excellent exfoliating properties. The ingredient is gentle on your face, but, at the same time, efficiently removes dead cells from the top layers of your skin and unclogs the pores. This is one of the ways in which it prevents the formation of acne. To use multani mitti for exfoliation, follow the steps below.
