While peel-off masks, exfoliating treatments, gel masks and sheet masks (no, we"re not a fan of them—here"s why) may seem to pass as lucrative options, there is perhaps nothing like face masks offering the goodness of ingredients that have been vouched for in Ayurvedic texts from eons ago—think honey, milk, saffron, aloe vera, sandalwood and so forth.
