5mL | 1 tsp warm water
2 1/2 tsp Powder

Whisk in the Chrysanthemum first, adding it about half a teaspoon at a time.
it’s best to sprinkle it over the water and let it wet out for a few seconds before whisking it in. It is a little prone to clumping,
and you’ll probably think you’ve overshot the adlay addition a couple times when you first start to stir after an addition,
but the Chrysanthemum will melting down and incorporate nicely.

When you’ve got a wee bowl of creamy grey paste that’s roughly the consistency of a soft frosting, spread it all over your face,
avoiding your eyes, nostrils, mouth, and eyebrows.

Let it dry for at least 5minutes before washing it off. (Leave on for 5 minutes to 45 minutes.)
Rinse off with warm water and a wash cloth. Repeat as needed for clear skin.
