This product complies with all applicable cosmetic safety regulations. Evaluations provided are based on Dermatocare's independent database criteria, which apply stricter benchmarks than standard regulatory guidelines.
To make this face wash, take a completely dry, airtight container and mix the following ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons of grounded oats or Oat meal powder
- 1/2 tablespoon of Neem leaf powder
- 1/2 tablespoon of Lemon peel powder (omit in sensitive skin)
- Splash your face with plain water to dampen the skin.
- Take a small amount of the dry powder mixture in your palm and add a few drops of water to make a smooth paste directly in your hand.
- Gently massage the paste onto your face in circular motions, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin).
- For enhanced benefit, leave it on for 1–2 minutes — a practical approach is to apply it at the start of your shower and rinse off toward the end.
- Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a soft tissue or dark towel.
Keep this face wash completely dry — water entering the container can promote bacterial and mould growth, making it unsafe for use.
Store the powder in an airtight container, sealed tightly after each use, away from taps or sinks.
