After I saw a lot of people on YouTube using different sorts of charcoal blackhead masks I wanted to try it myself. I found this one on this shop and gave it a try. Before I used it I washed my face (steaming your face is better I think) and left my nose slightly dry. I applied a thin layer which was difficult to peel off, so I would suggest a thicker layer (and wait till it dries completely). It felt like peeling glue from my face, so it probably isn't something for people with a low pain tolerance. But it picked up a good amount of my blackheads (I don't really have a lot to begin with). After that I applied my toner as the packaging suggested on the inside and my nose felt super soft after that which I never had before by using blackhead stripes.
