Why buy when you can make your own mask from the ingredients left in the kitchen?
Tips:
- Always clean your face with a gentle face wash before putting the mask on to ensure no blockage and full absorbency.
- Never leave the mask on for more than 15minutes as it would then absorb the moisture of your skin.
- Try cleaning off your mask off with a hot, steaming cloth in a circular motion to open up the pores.
- If this is your first time trying out a new mask, try a little on neck or chin before putting it on to test for allergy reaction.
- A quick splash of cold water after mask will help close the pores and give a rosy glow
- Always pat dry your clean. Never rub the towel against your face and it will absorb the moisture and hurt the skin.
