Masks, toners for dry/mature/ sensitive skin
 All masks should be used as part of a normal facial routine, both in salons and at home: remove make up/cleanse the skin, steam for better effect (not obligatory), tone (best with the solution of Rapan salt), add some of the solution to the clay if too thick, apply the clay mask to the face, lie down and let it dry (if the skin begins to feel uncomfortable, wash it off). Wash off the mask with warm water, using slow light movements (the clay contains fine sand which acts as an exfoliator when you wash off the mask). After removing the mask, apply toner and moisturiser you normally use for your skin type
In general, don't apply masks more often than about twice a week, and try to vary the ingredients.
Although Rapan products are hypoallergenic, we recommend you test the product first. Apply a small amount behind your ear or on the inner side of the elbow, wait 20 minutes, then wash off. Wait 24 hours. If the skin remains normal, i.e. there is no unusual irritation, itchiness, rash or redness, then ther product should be ok to use

These products are suitable for both women and men. For children it is best to use Rapan Blue clay only, since it is the mildest of all the Rapan products. Do not worry if you do not have some of the ingredients - improvise with what you have. And if you make products for multiple use, keep them in a cool dark place (a fridge is ideal). Enjoy!
