Advice

  • Sprinkle cold (but not too much) water on your face after removing the mask - it helps close pores and invigorate circulation, and gives your complexion a rosy glow.
  • Add essential oils to nourish the skin.
  • Before the mask do a manicure, so, if you decide to apply the mask with your hands, you will be sure that your nails are perfectly clean.
