"Hi, I’m Geeta, a beauty therapist and hairdresser from India. On behalf of Expert Village, I’m going to show you how to make your own face mask. Ok, now let us take a look at how to analyze your own skin and select the proper face mask suitable for your skin. Now it is a very easy process to analyze your own skin. This test is to be carried out in the morning as soon as you wake up from the bed. Just take a piece of part of paper and fold it this way and press it against your forehead, against your nose, against your chin, and against your cheeks. The amount of oil absorb on the part of paper will determine the type of skin you have, whether it is dry, oily or t zone. If the skin is oily, one can use a mud pack which will absorb the excess oil from the skin. This mud pack is known as a setting mask in the field of beauty as it is allowed to dry on the skin. If the skin is dry, you can a moisturizing pack which is kept a longer time on the skin and is not drying on the skin. For example you can oil mask, vask mask for this purposes. This mask nourishes the skin, retains moisture to the skin and helps in certain regeneration to this type of skin. If you have a greasy t zone, you can use certain mask on the oily areas and none certain mask on the dry areas. This will give you the desired result."
