For very sensitive skin you can mix 10% of Neem powder and 90% of White or Green clay before mixing with water. Leave on for 15 minutes, rinse with water then moisten skin with a toner or hydrosol and apply a moisturizer or carrier oil.
Caution: When preparing mixtures with natural clays or plant powders, you should never use products made from metals (cups, spoons etc.) since the natural ingredients can react with metals and that changes them chemically. It is best to use products made from wood, glass or ceramics.
