Instructions for Preparation:
- Sanitization: Ensure all your mixing bowls, spatulas, and storage containers are thoroughly sanitized and dry.
- Combine Powder Blend: In a clean, dry bowl, combine White Kaolin Clay, Bentonite Clay, Black Currant Powder, Colloidal Oatmeal, and Allantoin.
- Mix Thoroughly: Using a clean, dry spatula or whisk, mix all the powdered ingredients together very thoroughly. Ensure there are no clumps and the Black Currant Powder is evenly distributed throughout the clays.
- Sifting (Optional but Recommended): For a super fine, smooth mask, you can sift the entire mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
- Storage: Transfer the finished dry mask blend into an airtight, moisture-proof container. Label clearly.
Recommendations for Use (by the end-user):
- Optimal Dosing: The 5% inclusion of Black Currant Powder in this dry mask provides a potent boost of its beneficial properties.
- Activation: To use the mask, take 1-2 teaspoons of the dry mask powder into a small non-metallic bowl.
- Mixing: Gradually add small amounts of your chosen liquid activator (distilled water, a floral hydrosol like rose or lavender, or even aloe vera gel) to the powder, stirring constantly until a smooth, spreadable paste is formed. Adjust the consistency to your preference.
- Application: Apply an even layer of the mask to clean, dry skin on your face and neck, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
- Duration: Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, or until it begins to dry (do not let it dry completely and crack).
- Removal: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, gently massaging in circular motions to provide a light exfoliation.
- Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week for best results.
- Storage: Store the Black Currant Powder and the finished dry mask blend in a cool, dry place, sealed tightly to prevent moisture absorption. While some clumping of the pure powder is acceptable, keeping it dry is crucial for the finished blend.
- Skin Compatibility: Suitable for all skin types, but particularly beneficial for those looking to balance oiliness, minimize pores, and brighten their complexion.
