Description
Used for centuries in the Indonesian herbal tradition, red sandalwood is a remedy for calming and cooling skin stressed by environmental aggression or skin conditions. This unique softening mask combines the exceptional soothing properties of red sandalwood with the softening benefits of pure milk. Milk's natural exfoliating power in the form of lactic acid works with the skin's own mechanism to gently refine and soften skin texture.
Skin Types
Suitable for oily, combination, and sensitive skin.
Usage
Use once or twice weekly depending on skin type. This mask needs to be mixed with a liquid in a separate small bowl or container.
Step 1:
Prepare a small cup or bowl, and fill with 2 teaspoons of powder.
Step 2:
Combine one teaspoon of water, tea, or desired liquid with two heaping teaspoons of powder.
Step 3:
Begin mixing into a smooth, thick paste, slowly adding more water while stirring. Be careful not to add too much water as mixture will become too liquid.
Step 4:
Stop mixing when smooth and desired consistency is reached. (Recommendation for oily skin: add less water or more powder to achieve a thicker consistency, which helps gently absorb more oil.)
Apply all over face and neck, sparing eye and mouth area. Wait 10 minutes or until dry. Optional: Release the additional exfoliating benefits of the ultra-fine sandalwood powder by moistening face and gently rubbing off mask in circular motion. Finish by rinsing thoroughly and pat dry. For best softening results, follow with Juara's Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner and the Sweet Black Tea & Rice Facial Moisturizer. Suitable for all skin types.
