A blackhead face mask can remove excess sebum, impurities and dead cells, and will leave your skin smooth and radiant. What are the advantages of cream masks and who, on the other hand, appreciates peel-off anti-blackhead masks? 

Cream vs. peel-off anti-blackhead mask

Peel-off blackhead masks are very popular because they are easy to use, and results are visible immediately. They remove sebum, impurities and dead skin cells from pores mechanically – it "sticks" them on itself and peels them off.

Most often the mask contains plant-based activated charcoal and is black. It guarantees fast, visible results.

• Black anti-blackhead mask – contains activated charcoal, which has strong absorption properties and literally "sucks" the impurities and toxins from pores, which you peel off as a result. The cleansing anti-blackhead mask solidifies gradually, extending the time that the activated charcoal works. The results are visible immediately after peeling the mask off.

For the owners of sensitive skin, the process of peeling off the mask can be unpleasant, which is why a cream mask to remove blackheads is more suitable. A cream anti-blackhead face mask achieves the best results with regular use and can even prevent blackheads appearing!

The most popular of the cream masks, the anti-blackhead clay mask can absorb excess sebum and impurities, thus preventing pores from clogging. In addition, the clay contains minerals that nourish skin and leave it fresh. This natural anti-blackhead mask is ideal for any skin type – it is suitable for oily, sensitive as well as dry skin.

• Green anti-blackhead mask – this anti-blackhead face mask usually contains green clay and other natural ingredients such as green tea, matcha tea or spirulina. These have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, tighten pores and soften skin. 

Tip: Apart from these two most popular types you can also try serum-infused sheet masks which clean skin and tighten pores.

How to apply the mask correctly

To make the anti-blackhead mask as effective as possible, it is important to observe the right application procedure.  

1. Clean your skin

Before applying the mask, cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gel cleanserand feel free to also exfoliate your skin. After using a skin exfoliator, the mask can sink into your pores better and get to work. 

2. Apply the mask 

Apply the mask evenly to your face and avoid the area around your eyes and lips. Focus on covering all problematic spots with the mask where blackheads occur.

3. Removing the mask

Let the mask act according to the instructions on the packaging (usually 10–20 minutes) and then remove it. Carefully peel off the peeling mask, rinse the clay mask with lukewarm water or wipe with a towel soaked in water.

4. Hydrate your skin

After using the mask, don't forget to apply your favourite cream to your face to soothe, hydrate and nourish your skin as necessary.
