Take a bowl and mix all the ingredients together so that it forms a fine paste. Be cautious while adding water, it should not become too thin or else it will drop from your face. The mask should be of thick consistency so that it sticks to your face. Apply the face mask on your face and neck and leave for around 20-30 minutes. Next, wash off with warm water  and pat dry. If your skin feels too dry, you can follow the mask with a good moisturizer too. (Read: Best Body Moisturizers).
