Active charcoal face mask

Charcoal has amazing properties. It cleans the skin pores, brightens the skin and gently exfoliates. At drugstores, you’ll find lots of charcoal beauty products; facial masks are the hits. Charcoal has adsorption properties so it absorbs all impurities that are on the skin: sebum, product build-up, sweat, dust, toxins, dead skin cells. Additionally, it is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. Active charcoal cosmetics are suitable for acne-prone skin due to degreasing and mattifying benefits. Interestingly, charcoal cures dandruff and oily scalp. Added to a toothpaste, it removes stains.
