Activated Charcoal

Do you want younger looking skin and smaller pores? Of course you do! But seriously though! Who doesn't want youthful looking skin and teeny-tiny, unclogged, non-existent pores?

By now you know you should keep your pores clean and healthy for younger looking skin, but did you know that your skin will benefit from using activated charcoal?

Just one teaspoon of activated charcoal has a surface area of more than a football field! When you use a skin care product that's formulated with activated charcoal, that's some powerful pore-cleansing detoxifying potential for clear, blemish-free skin.

Ah, acne. The lovely result of oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells building up in our pores. It can lead to painful redness, swelling, irritation, and scarring.

The good news: There are plenty of ways to zap your zits, and activated charcoal is one of them.

The antibacterial and porous properties of activated charcoal might be able to draw out bacteria trapped in your pores. This can improve your overall complexion.

Some skin experts think that activated charcoal masks can help remove impurities from your skin. That’s because it acts like a magnet, absorbing bacteria and toxins🧲. This might leave you with a clearer complexion.

Bug bites are the WORST. Thankfully, activated charcoal can help you ditch the itch. It might be able to help neutralize the toxins in insect venom, soothing the sting.

Thanks to its oil-absorbing superpowers, activated charcoal may be able to unclog your pores. This leaves them free and clear of the nasty impurities that can lead to whiteheads and blackheads.

Activated charcoal’s antibacterial and anti-fungal properties can help heal damaged skin. It may also soothe symptoms of skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. But keep in mind, very little research is available in this area.
