Advice

  • Rinse with cool water (not too cold) after removing the mask. It helps to close the pores and improve blood circulation, which will give the face a pinkish complexion.
  • Add essential oils to the mask for better skin nourishment.
  • Follow the procedure for applying a face mask after manicure to keep your nails clean anyway, if you use your hands, not tools.
