Start by cleansing your face with a face wash. Pat your face dry, then choose a clean makeup brush to apply a charcoal face mask. If you are using this face mask for the first time or have sensitive skin, then it's advisable to do a patch test first. During the application, leave certain areas of your face like eyebrows, lips, and eyes (including the under-eye area). Sit for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Gently massage your face as you remove the charcoal mask. It’s important to avoid scrubbing your face too hard. Now pat your face dry and generously apply moisturiser.
