5 Reasons You Should Incorporate Charcoal Into Your Beauty Routine
Written by Sanya HamdaniApr 09, 2019
The verdict is out: activated charcoal is your one stop solution to clear complexion and a healthy glow. The detoxifying property of charcoal has made it one of the most popular skincare ingredients in recent times. It has become a major component in skincare products as it draws out bacteria and toxins from the deeper layers of the skin, thereby keeping common skincare problems at bay.
Here are 5 reasons that will convince you to incorporate charcoal into your beauty routine:
Trapped dirt, excess oil and dead skin causes pores to enlarge. Large pores make your skin look dull, tired and aged. Activated charcoal has major absorbing properties it acts as a magnet to pull out dirt, grime and bacteria that seep deep inside the pores. It sticks itself to impurities and brings them to the surface of the skin to cleanse and detoxify skin in a jiffy.
Exfoliates gently
Exfoliation is an important skincare step, however, your regular scrubs can sometimes be harsh for sensitive skin types. Activated charcoal is slightly gritty in nature and therefore works as an excellent exfoliator without irritating the skin. It gently removes dead skin cells, revealing smoother and healthier skin underneath.
Balances sebum production
Your skin has naturally produces oil to keep itself moisturised and glowing. However, too much oil creates a problem because oily skin traps dirt and bacteria causing your pores to get clogged. Activated charcoal absorbs excess oil thereby balancing the sebum production and preventing your pores from working overtime.
Antibacterial and antifungal
Another reason activated charcoal has found its way in our skincare products is because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties. When incorporated in your skincare routine, it inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungus in skin pores. This also speeds up the healing process of acne and several other skin disorders.
