Benefits Of Mud Masks
Most of us wear our stress on our face and it feels oh so good to erase that stress and put our best face forward.Mud masks are well known for their antibacterial and exfoliating benefits. They can improve blood circulation and they moisturize the skin to make it appear brighter, softer and clearer. In many cases, mud masks also tighten the skin to reduce the size of pores. The recommended number of times you should use a mud mask is three times a week for 15 minute intervals.
Himalayan Mud Masks
As ancient oceans have crystallized over the years, the outer crust of the Himalayan mountains have turned into nourishing salt mud. This mask has been refined to cleanse and replenish the skin. It draws out impurities from beneath the skin which can help unclog pores in order to reduce acne.
