Do you like jelly? It is very likely that the answer is yes, because its flavor and texture are really delicious. However, that’s not all, as your skin can also benefit. Therefore, this time we have listed some peel-off masks made with gelatin.

Try them once, you are sure to love the result and become fond of them. The best is that they are extremely inexpensive, easy to prepare and apply .

What is gelatin?

Before you start preparing any of these gelatin peel-off masks, you will surely want to know some good reasons to use them on your face.

The first thing you should know is that gelatin is a compound made up of amino acids derived from collagen . Yes, just that element that is present in many of the most expensive creams you buy to look better. 

The two amino acids that compose it, in greater quantity, are glycine and proline. Both are derived from bones, cartilage, and other similar organs of animals.  These amino acids are essential for smooth skin and promoting hair and nail growth. As if that’s not enough, they also improve immunity and regulate body weight.

However, we must indicate that the topical application does not have as many benefits as the oral consumption of collagen.

What product to use for these gelatin peel-off masks?

A common question when talking about these peel-off masks is whether any commercial gelatin can be used.  The answer is no. The only gelatin that you should use for these recipes is the one that does not bring flavor, called gelatin . It is quite inexpensive and you can buy it in small, very thin sheets or in powder form.
