#Test your skin for a reaction. Whether you're mixing your own charcoal mask or purchasing a mask mixture, check your skin for allergic reactions or irritation before you apply it to your face.

Wait 10 minutes and check for signs of irritation.<ref>https://bodyunburdened.com/diy-all-natural-blackhead-busting-blackout-mask/</ref>[[Image:Apply a Charcoal Mask Step 2.jpg|center]]

#Cleanse and exfoliate your face before you use the mask. Use your favorite gentle cleanser to wash your skin. Washing your face removes dirt and oil on your skin to prepare it for the mask. To open your pores, you should also apply a mild exfoliant and rinse it off before you apply the mask.<ref>http://beverlyhillsmd.com/face-masks-using-right-ways/</ref>[[Image:Apply a Charcoal Mask Step 4.jpg|center]]

#Spread the charcoal mask on your face. Squirt a quarter-sized amount of the mask into a small bowl. Dip a clean brush into the mixture and spread it evenly across your skin. You can apply it over your face or just on blemish-prone areas. Consider spreading it on your t-zone (between your nose and forehead) if you have acne or blackheads.<ref>http://www.instyle.com/news/face-mask-brushes</ref>[[Image:Apply a Charcoal Mask Step 5.jpg|center]]
