WARNING: THIS MAY GROSS YOU OUT

So I stumbled across this product while I was browsing the internet for good face masks... and I'm completely stunned/still skeptical. It's not by a reputable name brand, but it's got photo and video evidence that it works. By the looks of it, it seems incredible. And it's not expensive, so I don't think I have much to lose purchasing it. I find it interesting that it uses charcoal. This to me seems a very unique way of harnessing its properties. I kinda, sorta love the noire-ness of it all too ^-^.

BACKGROUND

 peel charcoal mask

application procedure: here

time: 30 mins

body location: use wherever blackheads are! [not just nose]

magic ingredient: active charcoal -

active charcoal has the ability to deeply cleanse and purify pores

by absorbing impurities. Active charcoal also has an antiseptic and balancing effect on the skin.

FAQ: Why is the mask better than Pore Strips?

Pore strips may seem to remove blackheads, but pore strips contains glue ingredients that over the long run causes irritation & reduced effectiveness. Pore strips also cause enlarge pores. This peel contains oil-absorbant charcoal & mild ingredients that are suitable for all skin types.

Update 2017: Nowadays anyone and their mom can find peel off blackhead masks thanks to Korea's skincare innovations and new exports to North America. Here are some amazing ones, some of which I've tried myself and love! YEStoCharcoal, Lanbena, Defining Stylezm], Nylea
I've enjoyed charcoal products significantly over the past two years, a major staple being the Biore Charcoal Wash, and their self-heating charcoal mask (omg it feels amazing and your skin glows after!).  

Anyways, I thought this was different and decided to share. I still don't know if I should buy it. I don't have a terrible blackhead problem, but I am obsessed with getting my skin perfect, so maybe I will. Onto something completely unrelated. I love Ashley's little knot atop her head & MK's quirky Chanel shades.

A plus,
