Homemade Gelatine Mask

I've always loved homeade facial type things. They work better for me and are definitely more cost-effective. I picked up this neat idea from Petit Elefant. She likens it to the feeling of the pore strips from Biore, which are super overpriced and lame since you can't do your whole mug.

The Cast!

Disposable Cup and Mixing spoon, Measuring Spoon, Unflavored Gelatine, and Milk. I believe in whole milk. Hell, with all the calories I'm saving with this 5 calorie gelatine, my face deserves whole milk.

 

Alright! Wash your face before all of this, don't want any oils getting all up in your way. You're gonna need one tablespoon of gelatine. (Am I the only one that thought gelatine didn't have any e? Hm. French.) Basically, one packet will do. Looks like sugaah, omnomnom.

Add one to two tablespoons of milk. I ended up using two in the batch I used. Probably would have been more cohesive if I had added a but more.

Look at that focus. I love you, camera. This is what happens when you wait too long to start smushing it all over your face. It gels. BE SWIFT, YOUNG ONE! I made another batch.

 Feelin' glamorous.

Unflavored gelatine smells pretty yuck. It's not unbearable, but it's about as lovely as you'd expect ground up animal hooves to smell like. I waited about twenty minutes to peel it off. It gets really, really stiff. I imagine this is what botox feels like. No emotion face!

Argggh, Am zombieee. Want to eat your brains because my skin is peeling offf, Arghhh.

Peeling it off was a bit of a pain, but fun nonetheless. I rinsed the little bits that were left off with warm water. Additionally, try not to get this stuff in your hair. Makes it all stiff and ew. 

I look so enthusiastic! But yay! Clean face! My skin definitely felt smoother and tighter, but also a bit dry. Slap some moisturizer on and enjoy your pretty self.
