Beautycounter Charcoal Mask Directions
The key to making masking an enjoyable, spa-esque experience is to paint it onto your face. I prefer a soft, smooth foundation brush. This will keep the product off your hands and on your face where it belongs.
Apply an even layer to clean skin.
Let dry for 10 minutes,
Rinse thoroughly with warm water.*
Use 2-3 times per week.
**Pro tip: wash your face, then apply the mask, then take a shower. It makes less of a mess that way.
Beautycounter Charcoal Mask Spot Treatment Directions
Apply directly to breakout site.
Leave on overnight.
Rinse or wipe thoroughly with warm water upon waking.
Use 2-3 times per week.
