You Will Need:

Dry Materials:
2 oz Kaolin Clay
1 oz Colloidal Oatmeal
1 oz Frankincense Powder

Liquid Materials:
1 oz Botanical Extract Blend
2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) Green Tea Extract
8 drops Frankincense & Myrrh Natural Fragrance Oil

Phase 1: Combine dry, powdered ingredients in a stainless steel or glass mixing bowl. Mix well to incorporate. Continue to mix well to incorporate all ingredients. Package in an airtight container. No refrigeration is required but product should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture.

Phase 2: Combine liquid ingredients in a glass mixing container and incorporate well. The natural fragrance oil is optional. You may omit it if you wish. Package in an amber glass bottle and store in a cool, dry place.

To Use As A Masque: Add 2 parts powdered product and 1 part liquid product into a small bowl and stir to blend until it forms a spreadable, thick paste (if it is too thick, add more liquid). Use a facial brush or your fingers to apply mixture to cover face and throat (avoiding eyes) and massage in a circular pattern. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and rinse to remove any residue. Apply a lightweight moisturizer.

Note: Do not combine dry and liquid ingredients until just prior to use. Storing these components together without appropriate preservation will cause microbes, bacteria and mold to grow.
