Masks with gelatin and activated charcoal

The famous black mask from comedones made a lot of noise, only it is not as cheap as we would like, and those that are sold for a penny do not work. There is an exit! It will be very cheap to make such a mask yourself, especially since such a homemade composition will be very cheap.

Gelatin is a natural analogue collagen, which is gladly borrowed by the skin, which makes the latter fit and generally acts in a rejuvenating manner. More than 80% of gelatin consists of protein, which takes an active part in cellular metabolism, thereby improving their work. With its help, you can even out the relief of the skin, get rid of dead cells, tone and refresh the dermis. Activated carbon dries out inflammation, narrows pores, destroys the dirt in the pores, which forms comedones, has a soothing effect on the dermis, smoothes the relief and deeply cleanses. Imagine what a tandem of these two can do.

To begin with, there are a few rules-tips that can be very useful:

• Use only fresh ingredients to prepare the composition.
• Test the finished composition for allergies.
• Before applying the mask, it is imperative to steam the dermis of the face, this will increase the effectiveness of the mask several times.
• Apply the mask only from bottom to top, in the same direction, and remove it.
• Do not under any circumstances apply this mask to the area around the eyes!
• After applying the composition to your face, try to be silent and not use facial expressions.
• After removing the mask, be sure to moisturize your skin.
• The duration of the mask is six weeks, then take a break for a couple of months, after which the course can be continued.

The mask may not work the first time, but you should not despair, just keep trying and you will definitely succeed.

A mask is prepared using:

• a small spoonful of gelatin;
• one coal tablet;
• a couple of small spoons of milk (can be replaced with water).

1. Powder a tablet and mix it with gelatin.
2. Pour in milk (or water) and stir.
3. Place the mixture in the microwave for 15 seconds, then check that the mixture is smooth, but not hot. Drop a little on the inside of the brush - if it doesn't burn, apply on a steamed face.

As the composition hardens, you can carefully remove. Take it slow it's not epilation... A small life hack for beginners - the thicker the layer is, the easier it will be to remove the mask, since in this case the frozen composition resembles an elastic band in consistency. If the layer is thin, then it will be problematic to remove it with a film, you will have to peel off the composition from the face.
