The normal and basic recommendations for the skin should be used not only by the people that have problems with the skin, I mean oily or dry, but by every person, as using masks helps to maintain the skin young and avoid wrinkles when you got old
Thank you so much for the wealth of information, there are so many recipes for masks here! I have a particularly difficult skin type, I think they call it “combination” skin type, where I have the oily “T” zone, and dry cheeks. Any recommendations for masks to use?
