Absorbs Excess Oil from Skin
Being a natural absorbent, fuller’s earth can be used to remove excess oil from oily skin. It can also unclog skin pores and balance the natural pH level of the skin. It’s commonly used as a homemade face pack.
Mix together equal amounts of fuller’s earth, rose water, and sandalwood powder.
Apply this mixture on your face as a face pack.
Let it dry out naturally, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
Repeat daily for very oily skin, or two or three times a week for moderately oily skin.

Fuller’s earth can reduce the appearance of wound scars, minor burn marks or any other kind of scars to a great extent.
Mix together ½ tablespoon each of fuller’s earth, vitamin E oil and lemon juice.
Apply the mixture on the scar.
Leave it on for 20 minutes, and then wash it off.
Do this once or twice a week until the scar fades away.
