How Much to Use: 1-2 dropperfuls

2) MASK

BLUE CRUSH Marine Perfecting Mask

You only need 1-2 tsp of Blue Crush Mask to use her as either a mask or cleansing powder to help remove your top layer of skin to reveal newer, brighter, and smoother skin. 

How Much to Use: 1-2 tsp

The Ritual as a Mask: Start with a clean, moist face. Mix 1-2 tsp and add water drop by drop until a nice paste is formed. Scoop a small amount into your fingertips, or for easier and smoother application, use a Mask Ritual Brush. Massage into skin in circular motions. Let mask sit cute for 5-10 minutes to work her magic, and then remove with warm water. Follow with a cool water splash. Keep in a dry place.

The Ritual as a Cleansing Powder: Pour 1-2 tsp into your hand and add water, drop by drop, until you reach a frothy consistency. Massage into moist skin in circular motions. Rinse.

Tip: To get the best results, use 2-3 times a week if you have oily to combination skin, or 1-2 times weekly if you have dry or sensitive skin.

Customize:  When using Blue Crush as a mask or cleanser, replace water with Tidal Rose Hydration Mist for a calming + toning effect. Also try replacing water with Sunshine Dew Antioxidant Cleansing Oil for an ultra-replenishing dose of antioxidants!

To get the best results, mask 2-3 times a week if you have oily to combination skin, or 1-2 times weekly if you have dry or sensitive skin.
