Use 2-3 times per week on cleansed skin. Mix 1 teaspoon of the powder with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Spread the mask and leave for 5-10 minutes for sensitive/normal skin and 10-20 minutes for normal/oily skin. Thoroughly mix the paste for a more even application. Add more water for a runnier paste or powder for a thicker paste. Remove with lukewarm water.
EXFOLIATING CLEANSER
Qasil Powder can be used as a daily gentle cleanser for the face or body. Take 1 teaspoon into your hand and add 4-6 tablespoons of water. Rub the mixture until it lathers, apply on your face for 60 seconds, and wash off. Add more water if needed for a runnier consistency.
