Black dots on the face are a very common problem. The most effective way to deal with them is professional cleansing of the face, but if you do not have it, various masks come to the rescue.

Mask-film for removing black dots
Perhaps the fastest and most effective masks from black points are mask-films. Such masks are usually sold in tubes, and are a gel that is applied to the pre-cleansed skin of the face, and after drying it is removed in the form of a film.
Mask-film can be made in home conditions based on gelatin. Gelatin masks help not only against black spots, they also have a tightening and strengthening effect on the skin. To make a mask, 1 tablespoon of gelatin is poured into ½ cup of liquid and heated on low heat, not bringing to a boil, until gelatin is completely dissolved. The resulting mixture is slightly cooled and applied to the face, excluding the areas around the eyes and lips. After the mask has dried, it is removed, and black dots leave with the resulting film.
As a liquid on the basis of which a gel mask is made to remove black spots, it is best to use milk or various freshly squeezed juices. For normal and dry skin, apple, pear or peach juice is suitable, for oily skin it is better to use orange juice, grapefruit, carrot or grapes.
