It may be tempting to try to pinch or push the little buggers out, but this can cause unnecessary scarring and damage to your skin. So, what do we do? We mask up! Activated charcoal is our saving grace. When tackling blackheads, activated charcoal absorbs toxins, dirt, and excess oils from your pores faster than other ingredients. Because of the jelly consistency of our Blackhead Removal Peel-Off Mask, the formula is given the opportunity to really get in there and infiltrate those damn impurities, hardening to get a good grip on the gunk when you pull off the mask in one swift motion. Even more, activated charcoal prevents new blackheads from forming on the skin. Trust us, it\'s satisfying seeing all that sebum that once lived in your skin now sticking to the peeled-off mask. Now, remember that blackheads are a lot deeper than they appear to be - our Blackhead Peel-Off Mask is amazing for exfoliation and resulting in a smoother complexion - but following up with another deep-cleansing product is ideal. We recommend our Dead Sea Mud Mask to really get in there.
