The efficacy and function of loofah water

Use of loofah water

1. Drinking. I personally don’t dare to try it. I still think it’s safer to apply it on the face, unless I see the entire extraction process with my own eyes.

2. Apply to the face. Soak the paper mask in the sponge gourd water and apply it on the face for about 10 minutes. (Paper masks are available on Taobao and Watsons)

3. Toner: apply directly on the face after cleansing, and gently pat the face with fingers until it is fully absorbed.

4. Spray, make it into a spray and carry it with you.

5. Mix it with other DIY essences, or use it as "pure water" for DIY skin care products for excellent results.
