What You'll Need

Step-by-Step

  1. In a small ceramic or glass bowl, combine 1 tbsp Sandalwood Powder and 1/2 tsp Kasturi Manjal. Mix the dry powders thoroughly with a small whisk or fork.
  2. Add 2 tbsp raw honey and stir into a fragrant, viscous paste. The texture should be thick and golden, like wet sand.
  3. If the paste feels too thick to spread, loosen it with a splash of raw milk or rose water (about 1 tsp). Mix until it reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
  4. Apply evenly to cleansed face and neck using your fingertips, working in upward circular motions. The pack can also be used on the décolletage and arms.
  5. Leave on for 20 minutes. The pack will dry to a matte finish but should not feel uncomfortably tight.
  6. Wet your fingertips with lukewarm water and massage the pack gently for 30 seconds before rinsing — this gives a mild exfoliating effect.
  7. Rinse off completely with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a soft towel and follow with rose water and a light moisturizer.
  8. Frequency: Use 2-3 times a week.
  9. Storage: Use the paste immediately. The dry powder mix (Sandalwood + Kasturi Manjal) can be premixed and stored in a glass jar for up to 3 months.

Pro Tips

For very sensitive skin, swap honey with fresh yogurt or aloe vera gel to reduce any tingling. Kasturi Manjal does NOT stain like regular turmeric. Use 2-3 times a week.
