Wow this way too much. For a single use I use 1/2-3/4 tsp crystals with no more 2 Tbls cleanser in a small dish. Mix well into a thick grainy consistency. It goes a long way so very little is needed. Just make sure the crystals are well blended as you don't want the crystal powder getting anywhere on your face. Good luck.

I mix it in my hand each time I use it with the same amount of cleanser I've always used. I just dip a wet finger into the powder and use that much each time (the powder doesn't dissolve or clump so its okay if it gets some moisture in it). Not sure what the ratio measurements would be. Hope this helps.

I just mix a pinch of the crystals into a dime sized amount of cleanser for one use. I generally just mix it right in the palm of my hand just before I'm going to use it.

I put my crystals into a seasoning container and simply shake it a couple of times in my hand. The shaker allows for easy storage and takes the guess work out measuring how much to use at one time. You can buy the shakers from any dollar store. Simply pour out the seasoning, rinse out the shaker and let it dry.

The directions on the package are way too much. I followed the directions for the facial an it was way too much. For bath, I would say no more than 2 scoops, an it takes awhile before it dissolves. I had so much trouble getting a even consistency in facial that I gave up. Bath use is good.,I also used a scoop in big bowl as foot soak. Scoop would be a coffee scoop . Good lyck

I use it for face mask, so I just mix it with a little bit of water using brush. Some people add ~ half a spoon to their shakes. It depends on how you plan to use it.

Scrape off the areas that are gooey and wet then mix again and re pour. I found that it really helped when I mixed it up on a scale so I had the same amount of both in weight. Had no problems after that. Also I was told by the company to mix well in a disposable container for exactly a minute then pour in a new container and mix for another whole minute with a new mixing stick. Throw both containers away after that.

Hello, we generally recommend to start with 1 tbsp per 4 fl. oz. and then adjust as necessary. Thanks!

I do think a diluted mix would work. It is really powerful stuff. I would follow directions on bottle and try a Small corner first but I think it would work

I did this treatment a few days ago for the second time. I have waivy hair, length to half my back and have lots of hair. One bottle was enough for two treatments. So maybe one bottle should be enough.

About 2 Tablespoons for the container. I did clean several things with this solution.

The bottle says 1:40 ratio for "light household cleaning", I'm sure that could be adjusted per your preferences. I personally use it full strength for shampoo and body wash / soap (also per the bottle). You could try it yourself and again, adjust if you feel it's too strong.

It's hard for me to say because I've used a couple of products at the same time. I can say that I really like this product. My skin felt smoother after using. A home remedy that I have been doing is similar and cheaper if you want to try first. I put baking soda in the palm of my hand and add just a couple small drops of water until its like a paste and then massage into my face for a couple of minutes. Let it sit for a couple minutes then rinse with cool water.

I put one heaping tablespoon. I overload the Pampered Chef small scoop that hold a tablespoon. Hope this helps.....

I use 2 scoops in 8 oz of water and I use a Magic Bullet to blend it. It really needs a blender to mix properly. It's almost like a shake after 30 seconds. If you don't like it that thick, you should add a little more water to get the consistency you like. I like the feel of a milkshake consistency. I wouldn't lessen the amount of powder as you won't get the full nutrition.

The only time you need the crystal is if you have bleached your hair and you are using Born Blonde as a toner. To use this product apply like a shampoo to freshly shampooed hair that is still wet. Work it through your hair. Leave it on the hair for 30-45 minutes. Then rinse off. Your done. Just a little warning, it is a product that does not do well on hair that is darker then a med to light blonde hair or if you have grey hair. I have grey hair that gets a yellow cast to it once in a while so I use Silent Snow and it works great. Hope this is helpful.

I wouldn't. You wouldn't need to. It is really scrubby all by itself. You just mix the crystals with lotion and use as needed and wash off.

For pure essential oils, I personally use 1-2 for a three hour setting. A little goes a long way. Hope this helps!

yes you really need to dilute or use much much less. Also you might want to switch to the Baby Mild formula as it has more olive oil than the other formulas.
