HOW TO USE IT
I cleanse my skin with a mild cleanser like an oil balm or a water based cleanser, Then I pay my skin dry.
I use about three scoops of the mask with the spatula included in the box and apply a thin layer to clean skin. The first time I used it, I left it on for a minimum 15mins. it gives a tingling feeling on the skin which is normal for most enzymes. It may feel intense the first 5mins but the intensity reduces and the tingling subsides.
Wait till mask is dry then gently remove mask with warm water and a washcloth making sure not to pull on the skin.
Pat dry and apply my treatments and appropriate moisturizer
They recommend you use the mask for the first five days using every other day and afterwards twice a week. I followed this tip and loved the results. I would recommend that sensitive skin types to build up your time from 15mins to 20mins during the first five days
