I bought this stuff a while back and intended to review it, but I've been lazy...
Anyway, the product is Olay's Deep Cleansing Clay Mask from their Daily Facials line. However, the directions say it's gentle enough for use "2-3 times a week", so I guess if you have three days in your week, you're in daily facial business.

Since I saw some of you ladies ask, here are some recipes that I use in my homemade care.
My oil staples are: Vitamin E oil (it's a natural preservative), virgin coconut oil, avocado oil, lemon oil (to fade discoloration), Evoo, peppermint oil, jojoba oil, and sweet almond oils as a carrier oil.
My other staples are: Shea butter, honey, mayonnaise, coconut milk, eggs (be careful though with the eggs.

Are you sitting down? I was horrified at the amount of face washes I have. I always complain that I have breakout prone skin, maybe if I cut down on constantly trying something new without finishing my old bottle then my skin would be better too.

87% would buy this product again.
Dunno if you are familiar with the site, but those are VERY impressive stats.

I have 3 tiny little blackheads on the inside crease of each of my nostrils. You have to look really closely to see them, but they are there. Why such a small nearly invisible blemish would bother me so much is something that I can't explain.

No, this isn 't a special Mother's Day mask. It's MOM for Milk of Magnesia (yeah, the stuff in the bottle for upset stomachs). I recently picked up Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me by Paula Begoun from the library because someone reminded me that I've been wanting to read it for a long time (thanks sofi!).
