When you complete the paste, this will leave a rich green coloured paste. This can be then applied to your face for approximately 20 minutes. The out come will leave you with soft and smooth skin. This can easily be washed from your face with out leaving any colour traces. The benefits of using spirulina as a face cream give us peace of mind that there are no extra added unnatural ingredients that we know little about.
