The advice of Dr. Véronique Gassia, dermatologist
"This mask is very rich, it is preferable to reserve it for dry and very dry skin. Its omega-9 content provided by avocado and olive oil, combined with the moisturizing action of honey, nourishes the skin, ensures comfort and skin repair. Another asset: the yoghurt rich in lactic acid gently exfoliates for smooth skin and a more radiant complexion. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once a week in the evening".
