For dry skin-
The black charcoal peel-off mask is an amazing thing for dry skin especially if it is not acne-prone. The black charcoal peel-off mask effectively will take off the dry and dead skin leaving smooth and baby soft textured skin for dry skin type people.
For oily skin-
This is equally an effective thing for oily skin people since it helps in cleaning out the pores completely and also takes off all the whiteheads which a normal scrub will never be able to do.
For Sensitive and Acne-Prone Skin-
This type of skin people should always stay away from the black charcoal peel-off mask no matter if it is diluted or concentrated. The ingredients can irritate the sensitive skin and acne-prone skin can even bleed by using the black charcoal peel-off mask. If sensitive skin people feel like trying the black charcoal peel-off mask out then they should go for the diluted one and will only apply after doing a patch test on their jawline. This will give them a fair idea of how their skin will react if the mask is applied to their skin.
A patch test is a must for everyone even if they are not falling under-sensitive skin types because we never know which ingredient in the product can cause allergic reactions to us.
