Masks 30+

But for those with a "dry" face, it's time to wake up - alternating moisturizing masks with those intended to restore and renew the cuticles.Although the transition from young skin to mature skin should not be accompanied by extreme manifestations.The products that are too nourishing will only make the wrinkles more visible, the passion "heavy" can make the skin dull. The care should be tailored to your skin's needs, so feel free to experiment by combining masks with different effects.
