Detox Charcoal Face Mask with Activated Charcoal Powder & Cocoa Powder for Even Skin Tone – 50g

What is charcoal?
Charcoal, also called activated carbon, is a fine black powder that’s produced when common charcoal is exposed to high heat. This exposure creates tiny internal spaces, or holes, in the charcoal, making it highly absorbent and able to trap chemicals and toxins.
Although it’s a type of charcoal, activated charcoal is different from the charcoal used on an outdoor grill.
The benefits of a charcoal mask:
Because there’s limited scientific research on the skin benefits of activated charcoal, many of the potential benefits of a charcoal mask are based on anecdotal evidence.
A charcoal mask may:
Remove impurities from the skin:
Because of activated charcoal’s ability to absorb bacteria and toxins present in the body. Skin experts believe that a charcoal face mask can help draw impurities from the skin.
Anecdotal evidence claims that by removing trapped dirt and bacteria from the skin, using a charcoal face mask can lead to a healthier, clearer complexion.
Improve acne:
In general, acne is caused by a buildup of dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria that gets trapped inside the pores in your skin. Acne-causing bacteria can trigger pimples and other inflammatory lesions, resulting in irritation, redness and swelling.
The antibacterial properties of activated charcoal, however, may help lift bacteria from the pores. This may help with reducing acne and improving the overall complexion of the skin.

Treat insect bites:

Your skin may itch and swell as a result of insect bites or stings. Anecdotal research suggests that activated charcoal may help soothe bug bites by neutralizing the poisons in the venom.

Are there any risks with using a charcoal mask?
There’s currently very limited research on the risks of using a charcoal face mask. Generally, these masks appear to be safe, although overuse could cause skin dryness, redness and sensitivity.
Before using a charcoal mask for the first time, it’s a good idea to test the product on a small patch of skin on the inside of your elbow. If you don’t experience any itching or redness within a few hours, then it’s probably safe to use on your skin.
How to apply a charcoal mask?
1. Cleanse your skin before applying the mask. A clean face helps the mask penetrate your pores.
2. Apply the mask evenly over your face, including your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Gently massage the mask into your skin using your fingertips or a soft-bristled brush. Be careful not to get it into your eyes.
3. Let the mask dry on your skin for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
4. Gently dry your face, then apply a facial moisturizer.
