FACIAL MASK
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.
HAIR TREATMENT
Qasil can be used as a natural shampoo for its effectiveness in cleansing the scalp and hair. This natural shampoo works best for those with oily hair as it completely removes oils. If your hair is prone to dryness, do not apply it as a shampoo.
Take 2 tablespoons of the powder, mix with 1 cup of warm water, and pour over scalp and lather. Add more powder or water if needed for a thicker or runnier consistency. Follow up with a conditioner. Use any leftover mixture for cleansing your body.
