The Charcoal Trend Is Worth It!

Did you know that charcoal is an extremely effective skincare ingredient? If not, now you do! To name a few benefits, charcoal helps to minimize pores and acts as a detoxifying ingredient that pulls away impurities. Try the skincare remedy yourself with the help of best-selling products from Bioré and LAVANILA. Stop trying to unclog your pores and remove blackheads on your own. Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips (pictured above) have you covered and you will no longer have to worry about this problem! With purifying charcoal powder, the strip acts like a sponge to draw out and absorb excess dirt and oil, reducing shine. Your skin will be left feeling fresh, clean and 3x less oily than before. When used weekly, you will have fewer clogged pores and the appearance of pores will actually diminish. ($6.49; available at all mass retailers & drug stores nation-wide.) Ready to make the switch over to natural deodorant, but don’t know where to start? LAVANILA The Healthy Underarm Detox Mask is the perfect way to begin this transition! The underarm detox mask is specially formulated to detoxify and beautify the underarm area while working to ease the transition to a natural deodorant. The mask helps to draw out aluminum and impurities with the help of charcoal, while also lightening, nourishing and smoothing the skin. Additionally, use of the underarm detox mask shortens the transition period to a natural deodorant. ($26; Sephora.com.)
