Place a tablespoon of your powder in the chosen container

Let stand until cool
Mix the clay with the tea of your choice until it is completely dissolved (in a container that is not metal or plastic)
Apply with a makeup brush or a thick brush to the face, to make it more even
Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes
Rinse with plenty of water or with a damp sponge
