Instagram Beauty Trend #2: Skin Care Hacks for Blackheads

If you’ve explored different beauty handles on Instagram, you’ve likely come across videos and photos of blackhead removal products, whether it be peel-off masks or cleansers. As a reminder, blackheads form when debris within a pore forms a clog and is exposed to air where it oxidizes and takes on a darker hue. The good news is that keeping your blackheads in check is fairly simple so long as you’re using the right products and following a well-rounded skin care routine.

Besides face masks for sensitive skin, serum sheet masks are also a big trend we’re seeing on Instagram right now. Infused with a serum, these masks are often very hydrating to the skin.

This particular sheet mask is formulated with bifidus extract, an ingredient which helps to strengthen and protect the skin's moisture barrier. Each mask contains the same amount of bifidus extract found in one full 30ml bottle of Advanced Génifique serum.
