What Is It? Activated charcoal is not used for grilling purposes. It is a medical grade version of what is used in filtration systems. Activated charcoal is administered in hospitals as emergency room treatment for poisoning as chemicals bind to it. It helps remove them from the body and is naturally safe. Activated charcoal has evolved into the skin care industry. With its detoxifying powers, spas use charcoal powder as a treatment and people are thrilled with results, for good reason. The substance provides a number of amazing benefits. After using Activated Charcoal on clients, skin care professionals say their skin is “glowing”, “even-toned”, and “unusually clean”. Make Your Pores Smaller and Cleaner Throughout the day toxins from our environment clog our pores. Activated charcoal binds to the skin and helps pull the dirt and oil out of your pores, making them less visible because oil and dirt makes them appear larger when lodged into pores. Takes Care of Oily and Acne Prone Skin When used as a masque, Activated Charcoal pulls away the unwanted excess and oil and bacteria causing acne. It controls the breakouts while leaving your skin smooth. All skin types benefit with a more even skin tone and mature, dry skin looks healthier. With all of its benefits, having a gritty Activated Charcoal treatment at the spa can have some drawbacks. It can be harsh on sensitive or extremely dry skin. And if you can’t make it to the spa or a spa treatment is not in your budget, there are home treatment you can do, and is safe for all skin types, including sensitive. An Activated Charcoal Moisturizing masque uses activated charcoal from the Ubame Oak Tree and is carbon infused with oxygen. The addition of organic Olive Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil works as excellent moisturizing properties and Hyaluronic Acid, the body’s natural hydrator, to retain moisture for skin without an oily after feel. In addition to organic botanical extracts for antioxidant and astringent properties. This masque is also applied for facial treatments for highly sensitive skin.
