Adah Sharma recently opened up about her journey of tackling cystic acne. In conversation with The Brief India, the Hasee Toh Phasee star shared that she swore by multani mitti\u00a0baths to get rid of stubborn cystic acne spread all across her body. Not just a face pack, she believes in bathing in it. \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t just put it on the spot, put it everywhere, your face, hands and body\u201d she said, adding that \u201cIf you religiously do it, for a month, I have cleared such terrible cystic acne with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Dr Falguni Shah, Delhi<\/a>-based dermatologist & cosmetologist, multani mitti, also known as Fuller\u2019s earth, has long been celebrated in Indian skincare routines for its oil-absorbing and pore-cleansing properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a natural clay, it works effectively on oily, thicker, and younger skin types \u2014 where the sebaceous (oil) glands tend to be more active. For such skin, using multani mitti once or twice a week as a mask can help absorb excess oil, unclog pores, and even prevent blackheads,\u201d she said, adding that it can also be gently used as a scrub when mixed with ingredients like amba haldi (wild turmeric) and honey. This not only enhances its exfoliating effect but also helps brighten the skin and remove surface impurities.<\/p>\n

An overview of the benefits of using fuller\u2019s earth:<\/p>\n

Dr Ameesha Mahajan, cosmetic dermatologist & founder, Eden Skin Clinic told indianexpress.com<\/a> that multani mitti is highly absorbent in nature and draws our excess sebum from the skin. Hence, individuals with oily and acne prone skin can benefit from it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s calming nature helps to soothe redness and skin inflammation. Multani mitti detoxifies the skin by unclogging the skin pores and removing dirt and impurities,\u201d she said, adding that it is a mild exfoliant and removes dead skin cells. Regularly using it on skin can even help in tightening the skin pores.<\/p>\n

Can it help cure cystic acne?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile multani mitti can help manage oiliness, it\u2019s not a magic solution for cystic acne \u2014 which is a deeper, more inflammatory condition. For cystic acne, over-the-counter clay masks may provide temporary relief by drying out surface oil, but they won\u2019t treat the root cause,\u201d said Dr Shah. In fact, she said that using multani mitti on dry, dehydrated, or mature skin can do more harm than good \u2014 it can strip essential moisture, leading to increased sensitivity, pigmentation, or even premature aging.<\/p>\n

For those with acne-prone skin<\/a><\/strong>, especially cystic acne, she suggested using multani mitti cautiously and always following it up with a non-comedogenic moisturiser. \u201cAnd for persistent, painful acne, it\u2019s best to consult a dermatologist for targeted treatment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Precautions to keep in mind<\/p>\n

Dr Mahajan mentioned some key points to keep in mind:<\/p>\n

1. Drying Effect: It can strip natural oils, leading to dryness, flakiness, or even rebound oiliness.
2. Not for Sensitive Skin: Can irritate or worsen rosacea, eczema, or sensitive skin types.
3. Avoid Daily Use: 1\u20132 times\/week is enough.
4. Always Patch Test: Especially if you have active cysts or inflamed skin.
5. Don\u2019t Let It Overdry: Remove while still slightly damp to prevent skin barrier damage.
6. Don\u2019t use it if you are already consuming some oral tablets to dry out acne as it will further disrupt the skin\u2019s defense barrier<\/p>\n

All in all, multani mitti has its place \u2014 but like all skincare, it\u2019s not one-size-fits-all. Know your skin type, use it sparingly, and don\u2019t skip the moisturiser!<\/p>\n
