- Apply the paste onto clean skin of face taking care to avoid eyes and nostrils area. Allow the paste to sit for 10- 15min. It will begin to feel drier, but not hard or too tight. You may feel a very slight tingle.
- Moisten a washcloth with warm water, wring it out, and buff the paste off the face using gentle circular motions. Then rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry.
