Finally free of blackheads! With two simple ingredients never have unclean skin again.
Blackheads are a pain and do mostly appear on forehead, nose and chin, the so called T-Zone, as the skin in that area produces a lot of excessive oil, which clogs up the pores.
It is best to not squeeze the nasty blackheads with your fingers, as bacteria can enter your pores and cause an inflamed pimple. This face mask with only two ingredients will clean your pores easily.
You will need a sachet of gelatin and some milk. If you do not want to use gelatin, the plant-based adhesive pectin is a good alternative.
Mix the gelatin with two tablespoons of milk in a small bowl and stir it with a spoon, until the mixture looks like runny yoghurt.
Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds. Test with your finger if the mixture is not too hot to apply on your skin.
An old make up brush, for example a foundation brush, is ideal to apply the mask on your skin. Brush on the mixture in a rather thick layer, but don´t make it too thin or else it will be very difficult to pull off and do not make it too thick, then it won´t dry.
It is advisable to wax your upper lip before you use this face mask as it will pull out the small hairs on your face which can be painful. Is your skin very sensitive in certain areas? Do not apply the mask there! The mask will make your skin very sensitive after the use.
Let the mask dry for 15 minutes. If you keep it on your face too long, it will make your skin sore. As soon as it is dry, the layer should break easily. Now it´s time to do some funny grimaces to split up the mask! Pull from the outside of your nose to the bridge – this way you will remove all blackheads. You will be surprised by the amount of blackheads the face mask removed from your skin!
Close your pores by washing your face with very cold water or rubbing an ice cube over your skin.
Gelatin can dry out the skin, apply a toner and a moisturiser to refresh the skin. Protect your now very sensitive skin with a sunblock.
