Notes
- Test the mask on a small patch of skin first to check for any skin irritations.
- This recipe is meant for one-time use. You should not store this face mask and use it at a later date.
- It is important to keep the mask off your eyebrows, hairline, and eyelashes, as it can pull out hair. If you get any on the hair, remove it immediately with warm water, do NOT peel it off.
- If it is too hard to peel off or causing you any discomfort, you can remove the mask with warm water.
- You can apply the mask to areas prone to blackheads instead of the whole face if you prefer.
