Oily skin is the reason for acne and other skin problems. So, in order

the hair follicles of the oily skin. This is a suitable environment for
bacteria and develops numerous infections on the skin surface.

of the skin with this fruit should be done before using the mask. If any
allergic symptoms are found on the skin, then this mask should not be
