When exfoliating the face, activated charcoal helps deepen the cleansing process. Instead of stripping the top layer of the skin with harsh chemicals or textures, a gentle activated charcoal scrub can remove the deepest debris from pores while absorbing the tiny molecules most other exfoliating scrubs leave behind.
The visible skin benefits of activated charcoal are:
Exfoliation without stripping the face of natural oil
Deeply cleansing to pores
Soothing for acne
Removes blackheads
Relieves skin impurities
Detoxifying and purifying
Shrinks pores
Tightens the skin
Antibacterial and antifungal
