Get a Clean Face Naturally with Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal has been in the skincare industry for a long time, and even now, it is one of the trendiest ingredients in the skincare industry, marking its presence in face masks, face washes, exfoliators, and whatnot, for both men and women. Its deep cleansing and general detoxifying properties are what make it so popular to clean face naturally.
But, the question that arises here is how it does that? Also, how activated charcoal is different from regular charcoal, and how well an activated charcoal facewash will work for male skin.
Answering all these and various other queries in this blog, so let's get started!
What is charcoal?
Charcoal is a lightweight carbon residue that is created by strongly heating the wood (or any other plant or animal products) with minimal oxygen supply to remove all kinds of water and combustible components. It is an odourless and tasteless black powder formed by incomplete combustion.
How does it become activated?
We all must have heard the terms charcoal and activated charcoal being used separately. Ever wondered why? The reason that makes activated charcoal different from normal charcoal is that it is made after being heated to a very high temperature that changes its structure. More heat makes the carbon powder more absorbent than regular charcoal, making it good at removing toxins and all sorts of contaminants.
Therefore, activated charcoal is an excellent ingredient to be used in your skincare products, be it in the form of facewash or charcoal cream. It is also commonly used for health benefits.
What makes charcoal so popular for skin care?
Apart from activated charcoal is extremely porous, it also harbours several other benefits. This includes-
General detoxification- Activated Charcoal works its way through the body by trapping toxins, hence preventing them from getting absorbed.
Balances oil - Just as it works for oil, Charcoal also helps pull out the excessive oil that may accumulate on your skin or scalp. This helps balance the sebum level and unclog pores, preventing numerous skin problems.
Gentle exfoliator- Unlike harsh scrubs available on the market that may cause microtears and irritation to your skin, activated charcoal is finely textured, and hence a gentle exfoliator.
Helps with Acne- The oil-removing properties of charcoal make it very helpful in removing acne-causing oil from the skin. It deeply cleanses the skin, making it squeaky clean.
