Have you ever stopped and wondered what all the hype about charcoal is about? There has been a tremendous increase of charcoal infused products. In addition to that there's been such a rise in demand for this dark tar like substance. Well I am one who has wondered and demanded plenty of times after using about two products infused with activated charcoal. One of them being Biore charcoal nose strips and the other being a charcoal exfoliating sponge. After buying the sponge and reading the description, questions started to arise mostly directed towards how something used to start a great barbecue can be an affected asset to skin care. That of course didn't add up.
Research! I love knowing and exploring, here is some information that I have encountered about charcoal benefits for skin.
Charcoal may be associated with other useful aspects; however when it comes down to skin it has great detoxifying and purifying benefits. Live-Strong does a wonderful job at clarifying why charcoal is a great addition to ones skin care routine, "Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne" (Early).
For sure day to day my skin is exposed to many parabens and oils; so at the end of the day a great charcoal detoxifying mask rejuvenates my skin creating a soft layer. Have you tried any charcoal products lately, I do recommend giving it a try. Whether it's a scrub, mask, purifying strips etc... Clean and clear skin awaits you.
