HOW TO USE
Once you make the ubtan start applying it on your face, neck, arms, back or any darkened area. Spread it evenly and allow it to dry.
Since this ubtan is not too liquidy it is going to take some time to get dry. Well you don't have to wait till it dries out completely. When you feel it is 80 to 90 % dry start rubbing it with soft massaging strokes. Do this very gently till the entire top layer scrapes off. This steps acts as a scrubbing agent and it exfoliates very gently revealing soft smooth skin.
