Activated charcoal has been around for centuries, commonly used in medicine as an antidote for poisonous substances in the body. However, in recent years, many more benefits have been realized, and the human body can now get a lot from using activated charcoal. It is more porous than the regular charcoal, which makes it capable of absorbing up to 100 times its own molecule size. Radha Beauty uses the power of activated charcoal in our Suction Peel-Off Black Mask.
Activated charcoal contributes to healthy and beautiful skin, as it binds to and gets rid of toxins and other impurities on the skin. This helps to unclog pores and reduce excess oils, thereby making your skin glow and devoid of skin problems such as blackheads, acne, and psoriasis.
Due to its porous nature, it can absorb toxins and deeply cleanse and purify your skin. After the carbon has been processed into activated charcoal, it turns out to have small, low-volume pores that increase the surface area, making it ready to absorb even more chemical reactions. This makes it work effectively on the skin.
