Four “peel-off ” Gelatin Masks To Revitalize Your Skin

Do you like jelly? It is very likely that the answer is “yes”, because the taste and texture are very good. However, jelly is not the only thing you can use gelatin for: it is good for your skin as well, especially with certain gelatin masks to revitalize the skin!

Try some of the masks we share today and you will definitely love the result and start using them more often. The best thing about such gelatin masks is that they are extremely cheap, easy to make and easy to use.

What is gelatin?

Before you prepare any peel-off gelatin masks, you will probably know of some good reasons to use them on your face. The first thing you should know is that gelatin is a compound of amino acids derived from collagen. Yes, it is also an ingredient found in many of the super expensive creams you can buy to make your skin look better!

The two amino acids found in gelatin in large quantities are glycine and proline. Both are derived from bones, cartilage and other similar animal organs. These amino acids are essential for having soft skin and promoting hair and nail growth.  And if that’s not enough, they also improve your immunity and help regulate your body weight.

Which product should I use for peel-off gelatin masks?

A common question about such gelatin masks is whether any type of jelly can be used. The answer is no”. The only type you should use for these recipes is the one that has no taste, called gelatin. It is very economical and you can buy it in small, very thin “sheets”, or in powder form.

Try both of these types if you have never used them and find the one that is easiest to use.
