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.
Whether you have normal, oily, sensitive, or combination skin, activated charcoal is for you! A lot of people tend to have issues with getting the perfect skin product, but with activated charcoal, worry no more, as it works perfectly with any skin type. It's time to get your skin glow on.
Skin-related issues such as acne, blackheads, eczema and so on, can be a burden for a lot of people. Activated charcoal can help relieve that burden by helping you deal with these skin-related issues. These issues often stem from accumulated chemicals and dirt on the skin. Activated charcoal binds to these chemicals and toxins and pulls them off your skin, thereby relieving these issues and also preventing them.
When your pores aren't clear, it affects your complexion. What activated charcoal does is to bind to the dirt in your pores and pull them out, thereby making them less visible.

Charcoal is natural and less likely to cause irritation than other popular chemical cleansers. So, it won't hurt to still give it a try even if you doubt its effects. It is, however, important to be mindful of the processed charcoal products that you buy. These products have been mixed with other ingredients that might not be compatible with your skin.
