Homemade gelatin mask to eliminate blackheads: learn how to do it

If you suffer from blackheads and are always looking for new alternatives to deal with them, you need to know the homemade gelatin mask.

Those little black dots that accumulate in areas like the nose, forehead and chin don’t represent a health problem, but they are aesthetically unpleasant.

Because of this, the market is full of products that promise to remove them, but that are not always as efficient as we wish, especially when the blackheads are positioned deeper into the skin.

If this is your case, you need to try out the tip from youtuber Cool Marina, because this gelatin mask really sticks. According to the youtuber, she “plucks out the soul”! Write down the material needed:

• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
• 2 ½ tablespoons of water

If you wish, you can only make half the recipe, as it makes a lot. Another option is to invite friends to share the mask and have a spa day at your house.

See how easy it is to prepare and apply the mask to remove blackheads and follow the steps below:

1. Mix the water and gelatin until you get a baby food texture

2. Take it to the microwave for 15 seconds to dissolve the gelatin well

3. With a spoon, dissolve any remaining gelatin clumps and wait for it to cool.

4. Spread the mixture with your fingers on the areas of your face where you have blackheads

5. Wait about 20 minutes for the mask to dry and remove

A golden tip when applying this mask is to apply it only on the areas where you really have blackheads, such as your nose and chin. Avoid applying it on the cheeks and very close to the eyes, as this mask really sticks and can be very painful when removing – in the video, the youtuber struggles a little to get the product off.

The advantage is that, according to the youtuber, the gelatin mask removed much more blackheads than the glue mask – in addition to removing all the hair. This is very good for those who have deeper blackheads on the skin, which do not come out with lighter adhesives and masks.

If you’re struggling to remove the gelatin, it’s best to wash your face with water to dissolve the product and apply it again, this time just to your nose, which isn’t that painful. No hurting your face, okay?

Another detail that the youtuber highlighted is that, as it dries, the mask starts to smell not very pleasant. But don’t worry: once you remove the product and wash your face, there will be nothing left. To be sure, you can still apply the moisturizer of your choice and get all fragrant.
