By this point, I am 6 months into my homemade skincare journey. I am slowly finishing up my store-bought cosmetic products. This week, I finally have no more facial tissue mask, the kind you can find from the shop comes with a tissue fill with all those lovely moisturising and cleansing gel. So I am going to whip one clay mask that can give me both deep cleansing and purifying effect.
