Our skin is the protective layer of the body, not only against the invasion of external bacteria into the body, but also a measure of a person's health and beauty.
Especially the facial skin, which is exposed to the air for many years, is exposed to the surface of the skin by ultraviolet rays, dirt, dust, bacteria and other harmful substances floating in the air. Add the oil, sweat, dead cells, etc. that they secrete.
