E. Fig: moisturizing & exfoliating

Figs, also known as the forbidden fruit, is, in fact, packed with healthy nutrition. The original fruit is small and the flesh of the fruit is sweet and juicy. So when fig extract is used as a skincare ingredient, it tends to have a sticky and thick texture. Hydration is the foremost important part of skincare. If you have sensitive skin that is easily irritated and red, it could be because the balance between water and oil in your skin is broken. Not having the right balance between water and oil could disturb the skin and cause irritation. Fig is the perfect key ingredient for wash off masks because the viscosity of fig extract helps with the capturing and holding of moisture to the skin. Fig works as a humectant that attracts and holds water to the skin, creating a moisture barrier. https://www.wishtrend.com/products/fig-scrub-mask/
