The Benefits Of Charcoal

 

The new buzz ingredient of the beauty industry is charcoal, it’s in our toothpastes, shampoos and now our skincare. Activated Charcoal is a form of charcoal which has been processed to have a high surface area for absorption.

The reason why we love it in our skincare products are because it absorbs the excess oils and dirt blocking our pores, for clearer and healthier skin. It’s proven that activated charcoal can absorb ten times its own weight in impurities, which is plus points for those with an oily t-zone!

 

Our favourite activated charcoal products:

  • Black Peel Off Mask. This works like a magnet suction to draw out oils and dirt that are blocking your pores and causing blackheads!
  • Black Cleansing Wipes. New to the market, these black wipes help to control an oily t-zone.
  • Ultra Purifying Face Wash. Cleansing your skin is important and this charcoal-infused wash is ideal for removing dirt and excess impurities from the skin.
  • No-Shine Papers. Just to prove how absorbent charcoal is, these blotting papers are great for picking up oils from your t-zone without disturbing your makeup!
