A moisturising lotion is used so that the pH level of your skin is maintained and to lock- in the moisture of your skin. It is the relaxing part of the whole gold facial process after scrubbing, massaging and face mask.

- Then, let your face relax for 5 minutes and then proceed further.
STEP 4: FACE MASK
