People with combination skin can use this type of mask on the T zone but not on the V zone. Sleeping masks generally have a refreshing texture and do not contain too much oil, which can effectively reduce the greasy feeling of the skin.

4) Neutral skin: This type of skin is of better quality and there is no need to be too particular when choosing a facial mask. Just pick one that feels good on the skin.

Most fruit and vegetable ingredients have very low levels of active ingredients, but do contain large amounts of organic acids, which can easily irritate the skin.
