The care should be tailored to the needs of the skin, so feel free to experiment with combining masks with different effects.

Terms of use of masks and frequency of use

Steam baths also increase the efficiency of care. But be careful, they are contraindicated in cardiovascular disease, thin skin, rosacea and rosacea.
Fresh food and non-metallic containers are used to mix the masks. The product should be applied immediately after preparation - remember that the natural ingredients deteriorate quickly.
