Treat Clogged Pores With Charcoal Peel-Off Masks The latest Internet sensation, there's no shortage of videos and pics popping up online of people creating their own blackhead removing masks, but this is one instance where it's best not to go the DIY route, cautions Arch, who says she's already seen patients come in with skin reactions as a result of using these. Stick with the store-bought options, like Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Peel-Off Mask, $15.99; these are usually pastes or creams that, once dry and peeled off, pull out whatever is clogging the pores, explains Lee. "Most contain charcoal, an ingredient believed to help remove impurities from the skin. As it dries, it shrinks ever so slightly, creating a little vacuum to help pull out surface oils, dirt, and blackheads," she explains. That means that, like with a pore strip, you'll get to see all the goodness on the mask once you take it off, and unlike a pore strip, it can be used all over your face.
