Instructions for Use

Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Wash your face thoroughly, then apply the mixture at night. Mix 1 liang of the mixture with facial cream until it is as thick as mud. Before going to bed at night, wash your face and hands thoroughly with soap, pat dry, and apply the mixture to your face—applying it as thickly as you would normally apply facial cream. Then, gently massage it in with your fingers until the mixture is fully absorbed into the skin before going to sleep. After the first application, do not wash your face for 5 days and 5 nights; simply apply makeup over it as usual.It is essential not to wash your face. On the sixth night, wash your face and apply the mixture as before. After washing three times in this manner, do not apply the mixture anymore. Wash your face as usual; your complexion will be a hundred times more radiant and clear than before washing.
