Las otras tres cuartas partes tie nen algún trastorno de la piel. Como, piel seca, piel demasiado, grasosa, piel mixta o impur gada, granos, maltratada etc Las causas son mala circ de la sangre, en otras muy m fensa contra los microbios. La mayoría de las mujer perdido gran parte de sus tade^ naturales: La produce grasas naturales. Salud y belleza de la p¡ siempre unidas, tenga un cul fectamente sano y normal.
