Review of QED MAN French Green Clay.....

Which is different from exfolliating, how?
Scrubbing is much more macho.
Well, it's not even really scrubbing. More of a rubbing. 
i have started using REN's multi mineral detox mask due to good reviews and recommendations and i have to say that it is awesome. after it dries, you rub it off, which probably has an added benefit to exfoliation. it is expensive tho, but seems to be the only product that may have an effect on blackheads. it is a kaolin based product, but has lots of ingredients. do you think that a cheaper clay, such as the QED clay would be similar??
i have also used a natural oceanic clay which is nice and also the anthony deep pore cleansing clay, which is kaolin and bentonite based but contains a lot of ingredients. it stings mildly when applied. i have to say that the REN mask is the best i have tried, but i would like to compare with the QED clay.

I haven't found this to be particularly effective with blackheads. It helps yes, but it won't pull all of them from your face. Biore Pore Strips are the best thing I've found for blackheads.
But that aside, I have used Nancy Boy Revitalizing Mask (French Green Clay is an ingredient) but it doesn't work as well as the QED and the QED is so much cheaper. Your face feels firmer, invigorated, clean, moisturized and refleshed. It really is something everyone should have for their face. Especially at $8.95 a pound, can't beat the price.
We have so many new members I thought I would bump this one back up.
This is my source for Hydrosols and clay
I use the Rhassoul clay with rose and lavender Hydrosols for my dry skin.
Enjoy

mountainroseherbs has a nice selection but seems to charge considerable amounts for shipping.
have you had a different experience?
Steve
are all french green clay created equal? is there any difference, say, between the stuff from QED and the mountain rose herb stuff? if not, i might be able to find some locally
Undoubtedly you can find cosmetic clay locally, another option for using hydro sols are chamomile tea or just plain water, Are you in China? I think you may be our first member there!
yup, sure am in china. that's why it's hard for me to get anything DE-related. i had to get a friend who was visiting from the states to bring me my complete "starter kit" i'll have to look around, but i'm sure there should be some french green clay locally. there's just a matter of price too i've found some imported products can cost up to twice as much as in the states!

Whole foods has the bentonite and french green in their bulk herbs and spices aisle.
what i wouldn't do for a whole foods locally *sigh*
LOL....have only been "doing this for less than 2 weeks" and already have 2 orders into QED.
Now keep a little text doc on my desktop which i open & minimize while surfing the "shaving sites". The doc in named "NextQEDorder" & it makes it real easy to cut text like "French Green Clay" or "Da Vinci Water" out of a Forum post & then paste it into "NextQEDorder"...
In fact am finding this Forum in general to be a goldmine of info about skincare, a topic which most guys aren't really too up on (traditionally).

Nick:
On the left side of his site, click on "Other fabulous toiletry products offered by QED". Then, it's the last item under the QEDman [USA] heading.
Or just email Charles. That's what I do.

I saw the initial pictures of preparing the clay before applying. When I tried the proportions listed 1/2 T clay 3/4 T liquid I didnt' get a smooth mixuture so started adding more liquid and then more clay. Ended up with a rather runny solution which I used and when it dried I thinkit did the job.
Does anyone have good proportions to use and/or what consistency I should strive for?
thanks,
Mike
