What is a whitening mask ? It is more logical to use it in the cold season, because in the summer you will still not hide from the sun's rays, and if you are struggling with freckles, then, of course, you need to do whitening before the start of the sunny season. Masks of this type will also help with pigmentation and to refresh the skin of the face in general.

When using natural products, you will get a safe effect, save money and time - these are the main advantages of whitening masks at home. Remember that masks using gauze should not touch the skin around the eyes and lips. Make standard blanks with slots in the right places.
