This Bubbly Clay Mask Sucks Dirt and Blackheads Out of Your Skin in Minutes
Certain blackhead extraction methods can be incredibly painful. The squeezing technique can cause long-term skin damage when not done properly (i.e. steaming your face beforehand, cleaning fingers and nails, and disinfecting the area afterward). Pore strips, which promise to do all the dirty work in minutes, can also prove to be extremely disappointing at times.
So while it may seem like an impossible feat to find an effective solution for all your blackhead problems — professional facial extractions don’t come cheap and aren’t really an option right now — the internet has discovered a pore-cleansing product that’s not only easy to use and highly effective, but actually fun.

You probably never thought you’d read the words “fun” and “blackhead removal” in the same sentence, but you’ve probably also never tried Elizavecca’s Milky Piggy Carbonated Clay Bubble Mask before, right? After going viral on, you guessed it, TikTok, the deep-cleansing mask that promises to remove blackheads and leave pores squeaky clean has quickly become one of 2020’s most popular beauty products.

Using the clay mask is simple and won’t leave your sink (or hands) a complete mess thanks to the small spatula that comes with it. Within seconds of applying it all over your face, the mask literally grows, bubbling up so much so that some people have said they felt (and looked) like a cloud with it on.
It’s an aesthetically pleasing beauty find that is certain to make your upcoming spa nights 10 times more fun, but don’t be mistaken: This bubbly clay mask does some serious work, too, thanks to an impressive mix of carbonated water, collagen, green tea, and charcoal.
The carbonated water, which is the secret to the mask’s bubbling effect, goes deep into your skin to clean out excess dirt and oil — basically all that hard-to-reach gunk that blocks pores and prevents your skin from breathing. Green tea extract also helps suck out dirt while reducing inflammation and redness, and the charcoal cleanses, refines, and tightens your pores.
