Published on June 26, 2020, activated charcoal has become a staple in the beauty industry, with many claiming it offers numerous benefits for the skin.
But what exactly is activated charcoal, and how does it work?
Activated charcoal is a type of carbon that has been treated to increase its surface area, allowing it to absorb and trap impurities and toxins.
When applied topically, activated charcoal can help to detoxify the skin, reducing the appearance of pores and leaving skin looking smoother and more even-toned.
But charcoal isn't just for detoxifying the skin - it can also be used to whiten teeth, reduce acne, and even help to soothe sunburn.
So, how can you incorporate activated charcoal into your beauty routine?
From face masks to toothpaste, there are countless products available that feature activated charcoal as the main ingredient.
Some popular beauty products that contain activated charcoal include the Lush Charcoal Face Mask, the Burt's Bees Charcoal Toothpaste, and the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Charcoal Face Mask.
