On clean, dry skin, use a dollop as a day- or night cream as a moisturiser or a makeup primer. You can also put a small dollop on cotton to remove stubborn makeup. You can also use it as a mask by using a thick layer and letting it rest and seep in for 15 minutes after which you can pat it into skin or pat lightly with cotton to remove excess.
