How they help
These face masks help by the ingredients. Oatmeal will soothe and calm the skin while also absorbing oil, and the fruit acids in the fruit ingredients will exfoliate dry skin cells and leave you with a better hydrated glow. Honey contains anti-microbial properties to cleanse and refine your face. Butter is an excellent source of vitamin A, so it makes a great mask for dry or damaged (i.e. sunburned) skin. Any of these ingredients can help your desert air face with extra nutrients and hydration.
