Activated charcoal / Activated carbon seems to be the latest “it” ingredient in the beauty and wellness products. In recent times, activated carbon for cosmetics is widely used by Indian and Overseas manufacturers. When choosing a skin care or beauty product with activated charcoal you want to be selective just like when shopping for any other skin care. Read the ingredients label to make sure you recognize what you are looking at. Just because something has this wonderful ingredient doesn’t mean that the product will be all natural or healthy for the skin and body. We want to avoid ingredients such as fragrance oils, alcohols, and chemical preservatives. Since the detoxification benefits can also make skin a bit sensitive we want to avoid other irritants. Also, you want to keep your overall skin care goal in mind. Treating sensitive skin with breakouts? Choose a product that also has soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Want to deeply cleanse and rid skin of excess oils? Choose an activated charcoal product with antiseptic and disinfectant ingredients. What about wanting to pull toxins from dry skin? A product with added exfoliant can help break down dead surface cells so the charcoal can penetrate into the pores and do its job. With each and every skin type it is highly recommended that you follow with the rest of your normal skin care routine. Dry skin types, especially, will need a moisturizer after using charcoal products so the skin does not become sensitized or unbalanced.
