Additional components

Water, based on which the mixture is prepared for application, can be replaced with milk. The mask from black dots (coal, gelatin and milk) in this case acquires additional useful qualities. The famous Avicenna in ancient times stated: "A dairy product removes ugly stains from the face and improves its color." Such care is useful to any type of skin. The mask contains milk:

• Moisturize and whiten the skin of the face;
• Will tighten the skin, reduce wrinkles;
• Will remove pimples and inflammation.
• Will improve the complexion, the skin will be rejuvenated;
• Will soften aggressive substances contained in gelatin and coal;
• Give the skin softness and silky.

Ideally, you need to use natural unprocessed cow or goat milk. But if this is not possible, it is preferable to choose a high-fat milk or a pasteurized product for the mixture, since it retains useful qualities due to minimal processing. However, if the skin on the face is excessively oily or combined, it is necessary to take as a basis milk of low fat content.

Rules of application

The effectiveness of the procedure depends directly on how correctly the mask with black coal and gelatin was applied. The process will require a brush, because the consistency of the composition is liquid, and it can not be applied by hand. Apply the mixture on your face in several layers. The first of these plays an important role, so it should be applied, as if driving into the skin, in order to strengthen the penetration of the pores of the ingredients.

It is recommended to start applying the composition from the nose area, then go to the chin and other areas of the face where there are black dots (comedones). While the mixture is applied to other parts of the face, the initial layer on the nose will have time to harden slightly. This indicates that it's time to start applying the next layer. This type of use gives a guarantee that the mask with coal and gelatin will not flow.

After the entire composition is applied, it is necessary to wait until the mask has dried on the face. It will happen for about a quarter of an hour. Depending on whether the mixture was applied with a thin or thick layer, the mask can be removed either from the bottom upwards, like a film, or by an integral piece. Pollution with which the pores were clogged will remain on the dried mask, and the face will become clean and renewed.

How to strengthen the procedure

To get the best result with this tool, you need to observe several important conditions:

1. The dissolution of the face is the main requirement for achieving visually noticeable results. It opens the pores and facilitates the penetration of useful ingredients into the pores of the epidermis.
2. The mask layer should not be too thick, otherwise the composition will not dry up. Ideally, the mask should be removed, like a film.
3. It is necessary that the face on which the mask is applied is relaxed and immobile. Conversations, laughter and any mimic activity will damage the integrity of the mask.

Ice cubes with activated carbon and other tips

A few tips will help those who first decided to try a home remedy:

1. The finished mask from black dots (gelatin, activated charcoal) should be of such a consistency that it is easily distributed over the skin and does not drain off.
2. The composition is superimposed on a slightly moist skin with movements from the bottom up. After complete drying, it is removed the same way - from the bottom up.
3. Around the eyes to apply a mask is extremely undesirable, since it is quite aggressive and is capable of damaging the delicate skin in this area by drying it.
4. Open, cleaned pores must be closed. The same activated carbon will help in this. Grind it into powder, pour 100 ml of water, pour and freeze, using ice molds. Wipe these ice cubes face after each procedure.

Mask of coal and gelatin: reviews

Internet users have a very popular home cleanser. Most women actively recommend it to their friends, subscribers and readers on their pages in social networks and in articles-reviews. After the course of procedures they note:

• Effective disposal of black spots;
• Excellent result without monetary costs;
• The skin was perfectly cleansed and bleached;
• 100% natural composition, which you do not doubt, since it is made by yourself.

But there is still one big disadvantage, which was noted by all users. Removing the dried mask really hurts. Women share their secrets, helping to reduce discomfort:

• To exclude hit of a mix on hair at temples and an eyebrow;
• Increase the amount of all the ingredients in half to ensure that the received weight is sufficient to apply a thick layer on the face, which does not turn into a crust on the face and will be easier to remove;
• The mask with charcoal and gelatin is applied only on the nose and those areas that need a deep cleansing, and not the entire face.

Sometimes the user's tips look a bit contradictory. Someone advises not to apply a thick layer, but someone, on the contrary, considers this method of imposing a mask the best. This suggests that, only after trying it yourself, you can choose the right option for yourself. The main thing - the tool works, and the results of the course are impressive!
