Activated Charcoal can help to remove impurities that tend to clog pores. It pulls out excess oil. If you tend to have oily skin, using activated charcoal scrub as part of your skincare routine will help remove excess oil that leads to clogged pores, blemishes, and greasy-looking skin. By binding to toxins and contaminants, activated charcoal detoxifies the skin, leaving it bright, taut, and unclogged. The gritty texture of the activated charcoal makes it a great natural and gentle exfoliate and helps to remove sebum and dead skin cells from the face, while its antimicrobial properties help prevent skin infections.
