Hey ladies,
The chilly season has finally arrived and we need to take a little extra care of our skin in this season. The best and safe way is to use these masks instead of your daily soap or body wash. Soaps and body washes have many chemicals and they also have SLS which strips the oil from skin and leads to itching and flakiness in winters. These masks are 100% natural and safe and are really moisturizing. They can be great for your weekly pamper routine!
The main ingredient of all of these masks is shea butter. Shea butter is rich in vitamins A and E which keep the skin supple, nourished, and radiant, and prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines. Shea butter penetrates the skin easily, without clogging the pores, and is effective for dry skin.
