What results can I expect to see after incorporating charcoal products into my routine?
Immediate: fresher, more matte, reduced oiliness. Over 2-4 weeks: improved clarity, fewer blackheads, more even tone with consistent use.
Is charcoal skincare suitable for dry or sensitive skin types?
Yes, when used appropriately - choose formulas pairing charcoal with hydrating/soothing ingredients (for example aloe and hyaluronic acid). For sensitive skin: shorter applications and less frequent use, then increase gradually if tolerated.
How often should I use a charcoal face mask?
Oily/congestion-prone: up to twice weekly. Normal-to-dry: start once weekly. Avoid overuse; follow with moisturiser to protect the skin barrier.
What exactly does charcoal do for the skin?
Works via absorption - porous charcoal binds impurities and excess oil on the skin surface. Designed to help without stripping the moisture barrier; especially useful for oily/blemish-prone skin and pollution exposure.
Can charcoal products help reduce the appearance of blackheads and large pores?
Yes - helps draw out sebum/debris that contribute to blackheads and congestion; clearer pores can appear smaller. Combine with gentle exfoliation and non-comedogenic moisturisers for best results.
