I have invested in tons of beauty products over the years. When it comes to facial peels, (masks you peel off when dry) its a hit or miss.

I have an inexpensive and hands down most effective method yet using two ingredients:

unflavored gelatin powder & warm water.

2:1 ratio, warm water & gelatin, combine and apply to clean skin.

Leave on your face for 10 minutes. Your skin will feel really tight. Remove by gently peeling off, and rinse excess peel off with warm water.

My face feels as if I'd had a mini facelift. My pores are noticeably smaller, and skin tone is even. 

Mask will remove excess dirt & oil trapped in pores, and gelatin is beneficial to the skin because as a topical agent it removes dead skin cells, which stimulates cell production & moisture to skin, keeping it supple.

Any leftover gelatin that solidifies can be stored in the fridge and reheated and used again. Make sure gelatin cools down a bit before applying to your face.

Enjoy!
