Start with clean, slightly damp skin or scalp. In a non-metal bowl, mix the clay powder with lukewarm water (roughly 1:1 by volume) until you get a smooth, yogurt-like paste without lumps. Let it sit for a minute so the particles fully hydrate.
Face: Apply a thin, even layer avoiding the eye area and lips. Leave on for 7–10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water as soon as the mask starts to feel dry at the edges — do not wait until it cracks or feels tight, as over-drying can irritate even normal skin.
Body: For rough areas (elbows, knees, back), apply a slightly thicker layer and leave for 10–15 minutes. You can wrap the area with a damp towel to slow drying. Rinse thoroughly.
Scalp: Part damp hair and apply the paste directly to the roots using a brush or fingertips. Massage gently. Keep on for 5–7 minutes, then rinse well before shampooing as usual. This helps lift excess sebum and product buildup without stripping.
After any use, follow with a lightweight moisturizer or scalp tonic. Use 1–2 times per week on face and scalp; body treatments can be weekly or as needed.
