DIY Charcoal Mask (Without Glue) - For Acne and Clogged Pores
This DIY charcoal mask is best for those with oily or acne-prone skin. It can be too drying for those with dry skin. Even with my oily skin, I only use this in the summer because it’s too drying for my skin in the winter.The charcoal won’t stain your skin in the 10 minutes that you use the mask, but it could stain your clothes, so be careful!

Notes
*This recipe will make enough for one mask with some leftover. Discard any leftover mask because it will dry out and not be usable.
**The mask may not be fully dry after 10 minutes, but you should still rinse it off to avoid staining your skin. Rinse carefully because it will splash and could stain clothing.
***After your face is clean and dry, use an intensive moisturizer because this is a drying mask. I use my night time moisturizer after I use this mask, even if I use it in the morning.
