Ideal for purifying and thoroughly cleanser face and neck, it is based on the purifying active ingredient of Clay, an effective remedy for removing impurities and excess sebum. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Apply all over your face (in the case of combination skin, apply to the T-zone, forehead, nose and chin), avoiding the eye and lip contour. Leave on for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water. We advise using it once a week.
