- Start with clean skin: Wash your face with warm water and pat dry gently.
- Apply the mask using circular motions, like a light facial massage—this helps with absorption.
- Leave it on for 10-15 minutes (don’t exceed to avoid overstimulation).
- Rinse off with warm water, then pat dry with a soft towel.
- Follow up with your usual moisturizer or a natural oil like jojoba or rosehip for added hydration.
Pro tip: The gentle massage during application can boost circulation, leaving your skin feeling refreshed.
