How to use it
Mix a teaspoon of the powder with rose water or plain water to a smooth paste and apply it as a face pack for external use, rinsing with plain water once it has dried. For an internal preparation, simmer half a teaspoon in a cup of water for five to ten minutes and strain through a fine sieve. Keep the powder airtight and away from moisture. Technique tip: sift the powder before mixing a paste, since bark powder carries fibrous flecks that feel gritty against skin.
