How to apply

  • Use this cleansing mask during your PM routine once a week to control oil. Start slowly 3 times a week and increase if your skin feels comfortable.
  • Apply the cleansing mask after the cleansing step and before using your hydrating toner. This ensures it works effectively on your skin.
  • Spread an even layer over your face using gentle motions. Avoid any harsh rubbing to keep your skin calm.
  • Apply the mask to clean and slightly damp skin for the best results. This helps the product target oily shine efficiently.
