What to Apply After Multani Mitti?

After using Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth), a good quality serum or moisturizer should be applied. This is crucial, especially since Multani Mitti can be drying. A face wash is not necessary after rinsing off the Multani Mitti.

Multani Mitti, while beneficial for skin, is known to absorb excess oil and can leave the skin feeling dry. Applying a moisturizer after washing it off replenishes lost moisture, preventing dryness and maintaining a healthy skin barrier. This is supported by multiple sources, including a Quora answer stating: "After applying the paste you don't need to apply a facewash. You should apply a good quality serum or moisturizer after washing the face."

Choosing the Right Moisturizer

The best moisturizer will depend on your skin type:

• Oily skin: Opt for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer or gel.
• Dry skin: Choose a richer, creamier moisturizer.

Regardless of skin type, ensure the moisturizer is of good quality and suited to your specific needs.

Additional Considerations

• Frequency of use: Don't overuse Multani Mitti. Using it more than once a week can lead to dryness. One Reddit user recommends moisturizing well after use and limiting application to once a week.
• Other treatments: Some users combine Multani Mitti with other treatments, such as an ice massage, as mentioned on Reddit. However, always follow up with a moisturizer to counteract the drying effects of the clay mask.
