Do you know about peel-off masks? They’re the secret weapon for women with radiant skin. Less famous than their classic counterparts, these beauty treatments are perfect for clarifying oily or combination skin. They tighten pores, capture impurities, and give a glow in no time. Plus, they’re quite fun to use: they form a film on the face that you remove as if it were a second skin. Here are our 5 favorite recipes to make a charcoal peel-off mask at home!
1. The Peel-Off Mask for Oily Skin
Do you have oily or combination skin? Do you want to deeply purify your skin? This recipe is perfect for you, but before you start preparing this treatment, thoroughly cleanse your face with soapy water to remove any traces of cosmetics.
Here is the list of essential ingredients for this DIY mask:
6 grams of activated charcoal;
4 grams of green clay powder;
20 grams of gelatin;
40 ml of water;
a few drops of rose water.
Once you have all the ingredients gathered, warm the water in the microwave to dissolve the gelatin. Stir everything together, then add the charcoal and clay until you create a smooth paste. Heat the mixture again for a few seconds to thicken it before incorporating 3 or 4 drops of floral water. The rose water will delicately perfume the mask and brighten your complexion.
Allow the preparation to cool, then apply it evenly on your skin.
As it dries, the peel-off mask will form a tightening film that traps sebum and impurities. All you have to do is remove it in one swift motion before rinsing your face with clear water.
You can enhance your pampering moment by applying a little rose water with a makeup remover cotton pad.
2. The Peel-Off Mask for Blackheads
Here’s a quick recipe to eliminate blackheads in just 5 minutes!
Heat 40 ml of almond milk in the microwave. Mix in 20 grams of gelatin into the plant-based milk and stir. Add a teaspoon of honey, the juice of half a lemon, and 1 tablespoon of charcoal. Knead this mixture and let it cool before applying. However, be careful not to use this product on the delicate skin around your eyes.
When the peel-off mask starts to tighten, remove it starting from the top of your face. Rinse your skin with clear water, then moisturize it with some apricot oil.
3. The Purifying Mask for All Skin Types
This recipe is perfect for cleansing the skin and eliminating imperfections in one simple step.
Make a peel-off mask using 6 simple ingredients:
One teaspoon of activated charcoal powder
One teaspoon of red clay powder
1 teaspoon of honey;
1 teaspoon of apricot oil;
20 grams of gelatin;
40 ml of water.
Heat the water in the microwave before adding all your ingredients. Mix and wait a few moments for the preparation to cool. Apply the product to your face and leave it on for fifteen minutes; it will dry and form a film that’s easy to remove. Once the mask is finished, cleanse your skin with fresh water for a “radiant” effect!
4. The Egg and Charcoal Anti-Imperfection Mask
Here’s an original preparation with an egg and charcoal! Start by separating the egg white and yolk, setting the yolk aside. Then, beat the egg white with a fork along with 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder.
Your mask is ready, but to apply it, you’ll need to cut strips of tissue paper about 5 cm wide and grab a brush. Place a strip on your nose and brush it with your preparation. Repeat the process on your chin, forehead, and cheeks.
Now, all you have to do is wait and let the magic happen. Once the mask solidifies, gently remove it and wash your face with a mild soap before moisturizing it. And you’re done!
5. The Peel-Off Mask for Sensitive Skin
Is your skin reactive? Do you experience redness and irritation? This mask for sensitive skin is perfect for you! Ready in just 2 minutes, it will change your life. Here’s the recipe for the peel-off mask for delicate skin.
In a bowl, mix 15 grams of gelatin with 3 tablespoons of almond milk and 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel. Add an egg white to your mixture and 1 tablespoon of charcoal, then apply the still warm mixture, avoiding the eye area.
30 minutes later, remove this mask in one go before washing your face with your favorite soap. Your skin is now free from impurities. Finish your beauty moment with a moisturizing treatment to soothe your sensitive skin.
