Activated carbon and PVA glue
According to the know-it-all Wikipedia, PVA glue is a solution of polyvinyl acetate in water, with a plasticizer and special additives. It has virtually no smell and is easy to use - who would have thought! - for gluing materials to each other.
To prepare masks, it is recommended to use stationery non-waterproof PVA (PVA-K) or glue for children's crafts, which can always be relatively easily washed off with ordinary water if something happens. Hardening on the skin, the glue forms the very film that promises to pull our blackheads out of their homes.
In order for the mask to acquire the coveted black color and corresponding functions, crushed activated carbon and/or black cosmetic clay are added to the glue. You can use any clay, but black, of course, is much more suitable in color.
If using office glue for facial skin scares you a little, you can try replacing office PVA with BF medical glue.

Activated carbon with gelatin
Here everything is somewhat more complicated, but not so scary, since instead of glue, the most common food gelatin is used. Much has already been written about this mask, even more has been said and quite a lot has been taken away.
Here, instead of activated carbon, you can also add any cosmetic clay or a mixture of cosmetic clay and activated carbon. There is also a version of this mask with dry chamomile ground in a coffee grinder into the finest dust, added to the same activated carbon and/or cosmetic clay.
To enhance the effect of the mask, you can lightly steam the skin before applying it. But you shouldn’t do this the first time you use it. Also, this mask, like all film masks, is not recommended for use on damaged, inflamed, burned skin, after chemical peels and other traumatic effects.
The most important thing in the current beauty realities: do not apply all these masks to your eyebrows, otherwise there is a risk of being left completely without eyebrows or seriously spoiling their architecture.
