WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT FACE MASKS

Beauty masks are used from the oldest time.

No mask is meant to be used every day. It is a special treatment which you use when you feel that your skin needs toning up. Perhaps once in a fortnight or once a week, depending on the condition of your skin.

Remember, all masks and face treatments should always be used on the neck as well. Or else your neck will probably end looking years older than your face.

It is absolutely essential to apply a face mask on a skin that has been cleansed well.
