I was introduced to this product from the Spa that I went for massage therapy.  You can also this product online from eskincare store.

Application: Apply a thin layer of masque with fingertips to cleansed skin, avoiding the eye area. (Dilute with water for easier application.) May use Galvanic or ultra-sound (in spa).  Leave on for 5 minutes or longer until dry (recommended to place wet gauze or cotton strips over top). It is possible to use as a massage agent by diluting the product and periodically dipping your hand into tea, juice or water. Remove with a damp face cloth.

My Thoughts:
I use this product at home without any equipment.  I grab a bit on my palm and then add some spring water to mix.  I usually leave it on around 15 minutes and then go shower and gentle scrub off in a circular motion  Since the gel with leaves might not be easy to rinse off, I usually use a sponge to clean the mask off or wash it off during shower. This is by far my favourite wash-type mask which delivers smoother and brighten skin with replenishing moisture. I started to try more and more organic products without chemicals. I love how fresh and nature they make the skin feel and look.
