And dark gives to everything a coffee shade. I really like it. Lusya Bastrikova I made an onion mask, it showed itself perfectly. Get rid of the smell just. It is necessary to use onion juice, not gruel, and added lemon juice, also neutralizes the smell, also removes and adds shine to the skin and adds shine to the hair. Exactly what is needed. I took onion juice and lemon juice 1: 1. And she added some honey, yolk and olive oil. It is still good to add sour cream (cream) if they are homemade real ones (this is if they are fat type) The main thing is not to add gruel from onions — it keeps the smell.
