🔥 How to Prepare
- For a single use, whisk the dry powders together in a small bowl.
- Add your chosen liquid (rose water / aloe / cool water) a little at a time to form a creamy, spreadable paste.
- (Optional) For extra comfort, mix in a few drops of squalane or a drizzle of honey.
🌸 How to Use
- Apply a thin, even layer to clean, slightly damp skin.
- Leave on 6–8 minutes — do not let it fully crack dry; mist lightly if needed.
- Rinse with lukewarm water, massaging in small circles for a gentle polish. Pat dry and follow with a lightweight moisturizer.
- Use 2× weekly (oily skin) or 1× weekly (normal/combination).
🧭 How You Can Use This Recipe
- For Personal Use: A quick reset on days your skin feels dull or congested.
- For R&D / Formulation: Adjust the kaolin:multani ratio for sensitivity, or swap charcoal level for a milder vs. deeper detox profile.
- For Small Business: Package the dry blend in glass jars; include a mini scoop and an instruction card for activation with rose water.
- For Gifting: Pair a jar of dry blend with a small bottle of rose water and a soft face towel.
🪶 Storage & Shelf Life
Keep the dry blend airtight and moisture-free; best within 6–9 months. Always scoop with a clean, dry spoon. Activated paste should be made fresh each time.
💡 Pro Tips
- Sensitive skin: use Kaolin only (skip Multani) and omit charcoal.
- Very oily skin: activate with cold green tea instead of water; finish with a gel moisturizer.
- Uneven texture: massage gently for 30–40 seconds as you rinse for a micro-polish effect.
🌿 Why This Works
Neem supports a clearer look and helps keep congestion in check, while Green Tea brings antioxidant balance. Kaolin / Multani absorb excess oil without harshness; colloidal oatmeal buffers the formula for a calm, clean finish.
⚠️ Note
