Of course, squeezing the mask out of the tube is always easier, but it is not always possible to trust a cosmetic product that lasts one or three years. Therefore, you always have time to spend the money, and now let's try to prepare the mask at home. Believe me, this will not take you much time.
Please note that the components that make up your recipe can sometimes cause allergic reactions. Therefore, pre-test the application of a small portion of the prepared product on the elbow or wrist and wait 30 minutes. You can use this mask if there are no rashes on the skin and you do not feel itching or burning. Ideally, such a test should be carried out using any new cosmetic product.
