Skincare pro Shahnaz Husain explained that "OG skincare ingredient" Fuller's Earth, also known as Multani Mitti or calcium bentonite, is a must-have addition to your regime.

The natural clay is packed full of minerals, and is especially beneficial if you have oily skin, as it helps to absorb the oil on the skin's surface.

"It also tones, refines and tightens the pores, improving skin texture," Shahnaz wrote.

"It brightens the skin, leaving it smooth, soft and glowing."

It's also a brilliant way of treating acne and removing blackheads, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

You can combine the clay, which you can pick up online for around £2.99 a pack, with other ingredients to make yourself an at-home face mask.

It can be combined with other ingredients to make a face pack and can easily be used at home.

For example, if you want to brighten dull skin, you can mix Multani Mitti with a teaspoon of tomato juice, a teaspoon of honey, a teaspoon of lemon juice and half a teaspoon of raw milk.

Mix, apply to the face and leave on for 10 minutes before washing off.

"Use this skin brightening face pack at least once a week to achieve radiant skin.

Or, to treat spots and blemishes, mix two tablespoons of the clay powder with two tablespoons of tomato juice, and one teaspoon each of sandalwood powder and turmeric powder.

Mix, apply to the face and wash off after 10 minutes.

You can apply this mask regularly to help maintain a fresh-faced appearance.

Customers have raved about the product in the reviews on Amazon, with one writing that it "really pulls out dirt oil on face".

"If I have a big day ahead, I will apply this mask night before to really pull out all excess oil to keep my face as oil free for all those important photos," the woman continued.

"I have used this product with apple cider vinegar and also water.

"Apple cider is a little too intense for me. Water makes this intense mask much more comfortable to use."

"After using this for several months my skin is clearer, old scars I have are clearing up, and my skin is softer than ever," another commented.

"I purchased it after reading about its pore shrinking abilities and I have not been disappointed."

"It really is a deep cleaning clay mask that you can tell makes a difference in just one use," a third wrote.

"It is even lightening some stubborn acne scars. I love it."
