π§ 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.
πͺΆ Storage & Shelf Life
Keep the dry blend airtight and moisture-free; best within 6β9 months. Always scoop with a clean, dry spoon. Activated paste should be made fresh each time.
π‘ 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 30β40 seconds as you rinse for a micro-polish effect.
πΏ 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.
