Charcoal products are everywhere nowadays. There are charcoal facewashes, masks, scrubs, and much more. But have you heard of charcoal soap? If not then this is something you should try once!
What’s charcoal soap?
Activated carbon is used to create charcoal soap. The health and beauty sectors have recently paid a lot of attention to activated carbon. The carbon used to make it comes from organic materials like peat, regular coal, wood, or coconut husk. Here are some benefits of charcoal soap.
What are the benefits?
Helps with oily skin
Skin becomes oily when the body produces too much sebum. Although sebum generally helps the skin, excessive production can clog pores. Activated charcoal’s porous structure efficiently absorbs this extra oil, leaving your skin feeling clean.
Helps with pores
Spending a lot of time around pollution causes dirt to accumulate in your skin pores. As a result, pores on the face look big and obvious. By reducing the pores, charcoal cures congested pores and eliminates dirt.
Helps with acne
Acne treatment with activated charcoal soap is well known for its success. It aids in the treatment of acne and removes toxins and skin contaminants. It even gets rid of facial acne scars.
How to use it?
- To remove the oil and dirt from your face, wash it with warm water
- Apply charcoal soap to your face with your hands, avoiding the areas around your eyes and lips
- Focus on the T-zone and other areas that are prone to acne when cleansing your skin in gentle circular motions
- If your skin is dry, gently scrub it for 30 to 60 seconds
- Massage your face for one to two minutes if you have oily, prone-to-acne skin
