This was a totally new experience for me, I re read the instructions before opening the Jar, but found it really easy to do. You use the spatchula to pull out 2 balls and the right amount of gel naturally comes out with it, then mix it in the palm of your hand. This gave me enough product to cover my face, neck and décolletage with a generous layer. It felt so good, nourishing and moisturising at the same time. A layer of sun cream finished it off nicely, highly recommend
