What to Know About Charcoal Masks

Charcoal masks are not just for cute self care selfies. There is so much more to them.

Benefits of Charcoal Masks

Charcoal acts like a magnet and pulls out dirt, oil and impurities from your pores. It gives your skin a nice healthy balance.

When to Use Charcoal Masks

Once Per Week. Two tops. Charcoal can be drying, so don’t overuse it. Make a ritual of it! Apply on Sunday night after a long week, before a shower, or to wrap up a long day.

My Favorite Charcoal Mask

I love this mask and don’t tell anyone, but sometimes Jeff even throws it on. One thing to know about these masks, it’s kinda gross but fascinating what your face looks like when it all dries out. You’ll see your pores have pulled out lots of gunk. Especially around the nose or oily spots on your face.

I leave the Beautycounter Counter+ Charcoal Mask on for ten to give me that purified complexion. This nutrient-rich kaolin clay mask with activated charcoal purifies and balances, absorbing excess oil and drawing out impurities. Salicylic and lactic acids aid in a gentle exfoliation, giving skin a smooth, polished look with a minimized appearance of pores. Perfect for those concerned with congestion and oily skin.
