The Ingredients:
Activated Charcoal draws out toxins and build up from the skin, allowing the rest of the ingredients to really penetrate the skin and do their thing! This is because activated charcoal physically binds to dirt, impurities, and toxins, and helps pull them out from the pores. This in turn helps to make the pores smaller, and less visible. A charcoal peel is always a great way to go when you want a deep clean and detox!
Bentonite clay draws out impurities but also tightens and tones the skin. Additionally, bentonite clay also helps to heal the skin and reduces inflammation. It’s a great ingredient to use in any face mask because it helps reduce redness and scarring, especially those left behind by acne.

Gelatin nourishes the skin and also helps to remove dirt, bacteria, and impurities. This is the key ingredient that makes this mask peel off. Gelatin is also very rich in protein and has a unique amino acid complex that can help with skin health. It is known to help prevent premature aging.
Tea tree essential oil soothes the skin and helps prevent future breakouts. It has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties and is often found in many acne products. Helps to even out skin tone, reduce redness, and also helps erase acne scars, dark spots, age spots, and sunspots.
