What exactly does charcoal do for the skin?

Activated charcoal works through a process called adsorption, where its porous structure acts like a magnet to bind to impurities, excess oil, and toxins on the skin's surface. Our charcoal products do this without stripping your skin's natural moisture barrier, making it ideal for blemish prone skin. Our charcoal for skincare formulations are also particularly effective for urban dwellers exposed to pollution.

How often should I use a charcoal face mask?

If you have particularly oily or congestion-prone skin, you might benefit from twice-weekly applications, whilst those with normal to dry skin should start with once weekly. Our charcoal for skincare masks are formulated to be effective yet gentle, but overuse of any deep-cleansing treatment can disrupt your skin's balance. Always follow up with a nourishing moisturisers to maintain your skin's protective barrier.

Is charcoal skincare suitable for dry or sensitive skin types?

Whilst charcoal skincare products are often associated with oily skin, they can benefit dry and sensitive skin as well when used appropriately. The key is choosing charcoal for skincare products that combine purifying charcoal with hydrating and soothing ingredients like aloe or hyaluronic acid. For sensitive skin, start with shorter application times and less frequent use, gradually increasing as your skin builds tolerance. Our charcoal skincare products at The Body Shop are formulated with ethically sourced ingredients to purify without compromising your skin's comfort.

Can charcoal products help reduce the appearance of blackheads and large pores?

Yes, charcoal skincare products are particularly effective at addressing blackheads and enlarged pores because charcoal's adsorptive properties draw out the sebum, dead skin cells, and debris that cause these concerns. Regular use of charcoal for skincare helps keep pores clear, and when pores are free from congestion, they naturally appear smaller. For best results, combine charcoal masks with gentle exfoliation and consistent use of non-comedogenic moisturisers.

What results can I expect to see after incorporating charcoal products into my routine?

When you first start using charcoal skincare products, you'll notice immediate effects like deeply cleansed, refreshed skin with a matte finish and reduced oiliness. Over 2-4 weeks of consistent use, you should see even more improvements in skin clarity, with fewer blackheads and a more even skin tone. Our charcoal for skincare formulations work cumulatively, which means the longer you use them, the better your skin becomes at maintaining its natural balance.
