You'll Need:
1 tbsp. unflavored gelatin
1 tbsp. boiling Tea or Coffee- Brewed to match your skin tone (add more or less tea bags for Caucasian skin tone, or use coffee for considerably darker skin tones)
1/4 tsp. liquid glycerin

Hair Dryer *optional*

Combine the gelatin, water and glycerin, mix quickly.



Let the mixture cool just until it can be handled (literally seconds!) and then apply a 1/4-inch layer directly to your clean skin.
