Mix with a brush into a slightly runny paste and allow to steep like tea for a few minutes. Allowing the Mask to steep will cause it to thicken and will further activate ingredients. Once ready to apply, moisten face and hands. Apply gently to face and neck with fingertips or preferably a mask brush. Leave on for 10-30 minutes, then rinse. Keep mask hydrated to keep mask active and to prevent drying on the skin. The longer the mask is left on the more frequently it will need to be rehydrated to stay active. Re-hydrate it with a brush, fingertips, or a mister bottle of water. Use within 12 months of opening and within 24 months of manufacture date on the bottom of the jar. Keep jar dry to prevent spoilage. Tip Laurel Says Science: Antioxidants are quite simply not as effective without their cofactors. What does this mean?! This goes back to our ‘whole plant’ roots. Plants don’t contain just 1 antioxidant, like ascorbic acid or astaxanthin or CoQ10 – plants contain hundreds of beneficial antioxidants, nutrients, and vitamins in their whole form. Science is only brushing the surface of the benefits of these plant-based nutrients and how they interact with our skin and bodies. However, the more that is researched and uncovered the more evidence points to cofactors being necessary for optimal vitamin/antioxidant/nutrient activity, delivery, and viability. These other plant components help to keep Vitamin C from oxidizing, and flavonoids actually help to metabolize Vitamin C post oxidation. After a Vitamin C molecule lends its electron that makes it an antioxidant, it then also becomes a free radical. This chain of events sometimes referred to as ‘pro-oxidation’ turns into a beautiful dance in the world of whole plants which all work to support each other and support our skin through this process.
