You think only dry skin needs moisturizing, don’t you? It’s a big mistake. Any skin needs moisture because our face at every turn is under the external environment: dryness, dampness, sunlight, wind, cold, summer heat. Because of these reasons skin moisture balance always fluctuates. Usually we drink less liquid than we need. Eventually, our skin loses moisture and is aging faster.
Humidification is required for all skin types without exception. There are many ways to restore the water balance of the skin. You can visit beauty salon twice a week and do a variety of skin care procedures. It will be good for your skin. Unfortunately, we don’t have always sufficient time to do this and let say that unconventional beauty treatments are rather expensive.
You can do moisturizing mask by yourself two or three times a week and you will have glowing face with perfect skin like after visiting beauty salon.
One of these masks is homemade papaya face mask.
