2. HealthVit Activated Charcoal Purifying Peel Off Mask
Remember as children we used to apply glue on our hands and wait for it to dry just so we can peel it off? This face mask is just as satisfying and it’s got charcoal extracts, so when you peel off the mask you’re actually going to see everything that it pulled out of your pores. If you have whiteheads, blackheads and clogged pores, this one will pull the gunk right out of them. Be careful if you have facial hair though, peel off masks tend to pull out facial hair too and can be pretty painful. So, apply this to areas with little to no facial hair like your forehead, nose and chin!
