I'm wondering about how to use the Himalayan neem face pack properly. Should I put it on a wet face or a dry one? And when I apply it, do I need to use water or can I just put it on directly?

Apply the Himalayan Neem Face Pack on a clean, dry face. Mix the face pack with a small amount of water to form a smooth paste.
