Application of masks is one of the most
ancient forms of beauty treatment all
around the world.
In old times, women of
nobility used to apply many exotic substances on their face skin in order to keep it smooth, silky and beautiful and protect from aging and elements.
In the North, traditional societies used animal and fish fats to
shield their skin from cold and dry winter air.
Today, natural face masks are still popular among many women, especially those who avoid
using toxic commercial products and prefer to nourish, cleanse, heal,
and protect their skin with unadulterated, home-made remedies.
