“Eggs, oats, dairy products, honey, local herbs, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, cucumbers—our mothers and grandmothers would mask with pretty much anything they could find in the fridge,” says Olga Karput, the founder of Moscow’s Kuznetsky Most 20 boutique. “I’ll start with a homemade mask, like maybe I’ll mix a few different acids and some chia seeds. That prepares my skin for whatever I use afterward,” says Karput. Biologique Recherche’s Biomagic Mask and Masque Vivant are what follow after.
