Apply as a face mask for 10 minutes, then rinse off. Can also use it in the bath with a hot flannel to help the ingredients penetrate better before rinsing off. Can also use it as a leave on product at night.
Use a stick blender to combine the Stage 1 ingredients until smooth. Then heat in a double boiler to about 50°C, by which time it will have thickened up well (the preservative will be safe at that temperature). Allow the gel to cool down to room temperature.
Combine the Stage 2 ingredients and stir thoroughly into the Stage 1 gel. Jar and label.
