#Benefits of gelatin and milk face mask skin

The first day my skin was sensitive to the touch, though I didn’t look irritated and my skin wasn’t red. So, be careful! After that I took a little warm water with my fingers, wet the gelatin on my brows, and once it loosened up I gently scraped it off with fingernails. The first removal swatch I did near them did pull up a few eyebrows (small bald spot! I have had to fill it in with an eyebrow pencil, though it is now filling in). However, a word of caution! I was too close to my eyebrows when I applied. Be sure to wear your sunscreen as well! I swear this stuff also pulled off hair, so any little baby fuzz you have is likely to be pretty reduced by using this mask. You should do this on a day that you’ll be able to baby your skin with added moisture and maybe staying home sans makeup. I didn’t notice redness, but my skin was definitely sensitive that day. But, you’ll notice right away that your pores are smaller and black heads are gone.Īs you pull the mask off it does exfoliate (aka- pull off skin). It isn’t quite as satisfying as a Bioré, since it is harder to see the grossness you’ve just pulled out of your skin. I simply opened my mouth to start tearing into it, and then I started peeling. Really.Ībout 10-15 minutes later, things will definitely start to tighten up as it dries. Avoid your eye brows and too close to your eyes.

Too thick is goopy and hard to peel in 1 piece, too thin and it will break off every where. Once it dries you’ll be peeling this stuff off. You don’t want a thin or a thick layer, really it should be somewhat in between. I used a plastic picnic knife, it was fine if you don’t have the recommended popsicle stick. So, this gave me about 2 minutes of stand around and talk to my husband while stirring, then I realized it was getting stringy and thick quickly so I ran up to the bathroom to put it on.Īpplication was pretty easy.

Oops! It turns out this stuff cools down rapidly and as it cools it sets up.

I thought it was 30 seconds (actually, 10 seconds is recommended), but I pulled it out about 25 seconds in once it started bubbling. There is no other way to describe it, I created Yoplait. Not so much in that I forgot how much to use, so when I combined ingredients I used 2 packets of gelatin and about 1-2 tablespoons of milk and when mixed up mine was about the consistency of a fruit on the bottom yogurt once mixed up. In that I used disposable items and unflavored gelatin with milk. So, first, I somewhat followed the directions over at Petite Elefant. I should note that I tried this out immediately after my morning shower, so I knew all the stuff clogging my pores had been nicely loosened up by my shower and I was more likely to yank some of it out. I was the girl in college with the nose strips on her forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. I found this via Pinterest (love it!), and I knew as soon as I saw it, I would have to try it! The idea came from Petite Elefant (pinned here). Instead, I bought a $1.36 box of unflavored gelatin and used up half of it. No, I did not go crazy and buy my local Walmart out of Bioré products.
