This amazing DIY peel off face mask will help you to remove all the dead skin. Dead skin can be a huge problem. So, we regularly need to peel it off. But harsh peeling products might damage your skin in this process. Instead of these products, I will give you a homemade activated charcoal peel off mask recipe.
This mask is super effective to make your skin softer. Also, this mask will help cleaning your pores. If you have blackhead problem or acne-prone skin, activated charcoal mask will give you the best solution. Compared to commercial masks, this homemade mask is affordable and fun to prepare. All you need is few ingredients and time.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon of gelatin powder – try to choose an unflavoured one
1 teaspoon of activated charcoal
2 teaspoons of water
Method
* Add gelatin powder, activated charcoal and water in a small cup. You need to choose a microwave safe cup for this step.
* Mix these ingredients.
* Then place the bowl inside the microwave. Heat 2 or 3 times for 10 seconds. Between each heating, you need to take the bowl out and mix the ingredients.
* You need to heat the bowl until you obtain a liquid.
* Wait 1-2 minutes before you apply your DIY peel off face mask.
How To Use
Once you obtain black liquid, you are good to go. Since it will be too hot to apply, it is better to wait for couple of minutes. When the mask is cool, use your fingers to apply the mask. Focus on your forehead and nose areas. Then, wait for 10 to 15 minutes. Or you can wait until the mask is dry. When it is no longer sticky, peel the mask off. Apply your normal moisturiser to complete your skincare routine.
You can use this mask once a week. Also, you can always add new ingredients to change your mask. Once I tried adding lavender essential oil. Few drops will be more than enough. You can try other essential oils to sooth your skin.
