I was looking for a new hydrating mask on an online shopping spree and came across the brand JUARA.  I hadn't heard of this brand before and was intrigued by it.  The products are free from all harmful chemicals which we are all looking for and highly value.  For this reason, I decided to go ahead and purchase JUARA's Avocado Banana Moisture Mask. JUARA Avocado Banana Moisture Mask  JUARA Avocado Banana Moisture Mask  The mask is suitable for all skin types which I believe is great - doesn't leave out any one skin type.  The mask is a green creamy, rich mask which instantly hydrates and softens, dull dehydrated skin. The key ingredients of the mask are avocado that provides the intense hydration and banana which adds in the moisture to the skin.  Both these ingredients are the winning combination that help to hydrate and retain the moisture within the skin.

Exfoliating ones skin is necessary to keep it from looking dull and preventing clogged pores.  Many people choose to use abrasive physical exfoliants that do sometimes irritate the skin.  I, on a personal level, don't like using those physical exfoliants as they tend to damage my skin no matter how gentle I am.  There had come a time when I didn't want to exfoliate my skin as I would get bumps and scratches from the usual process.  Then I came across, Alpha H.  I was inttrigued by the brand and read up on it.  I decided to try the glycolic acid based chemical exfoliant as a dermotologist had previously given me a face wash and a facial topical lotion that had contained alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs).   ALPHA H Liquid Gold with Glycoiic Acid I didn't know what to expect and I was somewhat apprehensive.  I followed the instructions to the 'T' and didn't want to experiment with it; and damage my skin since it was a concentrated chemical.  Before bedtime, I
