This is not a sponsored post. I am doing this review using my own funds for the benefit of my sister who wondered whether this thing really worked.

I am obsessed with pricking white heads on my nose since I was in high school. I blame my cousin Ina for this habit (long story). My cousins and sisters and I tried various beauty treatments when we were in high school to reduce or remove blackheads and white heads on our faces (egg whites and condensada milk combo, ✔️). We tried the powdered- gelatin-dissolved-in-hot-water- and-apply-on-onion-skin-paper mask. It was effective but so messy to prepare and use that it didn’t really fly.

Now here comes the charcoal facial masks that are supposed to do the same thing. Beauty Fix Nose Pack (the sachet is about PHP 19, good for one or two uses) is affordable enough for me to try.

It was supposed to be for the nose only but one sachet is good for entire face.

For best results, wait for 30 mins or until completely dry that your face feels like concrete.

Peel off carefully so that you would be able to have that weird satisfaction of seeing your sebum/whiteheads/dead skkin/facial hair sticking on this paper-like mask.

It removed some white heads and dead skin. But not all. I still swear by the gelatin-onion-skin-paper concoction we did when we were teenagers. After I removed the black gunk off my face, I still had to use my pimple-pricker to remove the remaining annoying white heads.

But it still helps remove unwanted facial hair and prominent white heads.

Use twice a week for best results.

Available at Watsons for PHP 149 for one tube.
