paints off, and then ash mixed with plant juice came as the means to cleanse
the face. Soap was known to be the only cleansing tool till recent times of the
previous century. Yet, in XX century a plenty of various lotions, creams, emulsions
and foams were produced to make the face cleaner. Every cleansing product does
the face cleaner to the best or worst, though cleansing sis the primary purpose
to acquire such means. And so, some rules are not out of place here.

attractiveness when applying makeup is not all that a woman should be skilled
in. a beautiful woman is always well-cared. Care is the healthy and velvet
skin, and the skills to correctly cleanse it from everyday contaminants as
dust, skin fat and makeup are too vital.
