Charcoal for Acne Help: Natural Skincare Benefits
Charcoal for Acne Help: Natural Skincare Benefits
You might find it a bit odd—like something you'd use for a barbecue! However, activated charcoal has been used for centuries to treat various health issues. When it comes to charcoal for acne help, the charcoal in skincare products (including ours) is not the same as grill leftovers. It’s a highly refined, very fine powder called activated charcoal that offers numerous skin benefits.
In fact, activated charcoal is used in hospitals to absorb toxins from the body, treat poisonous bites, and disinfect wounds. I’ve even used it with great success to treat goats that accidentally consumed poisonous plants—so it’s serious medical-grade stuff!
When it comes to skincare, charcoal offers fantastic benefits—especially for those seeking acne help. Since it doesn’t get absorbed into the skin but instead pulls toxins, dirt, and excess oils out, it’s a natural choice in skincare routines.
Incorporating charcoal into your regular cleansing routine can help:
-
Help shrink pores
-
Absorb toxins, bacteria, and pollutants that clog the skin
-
Aid in healing and preventing acne
-
Control excess oil, making it ideal for oily or acne-prone skin
-
Soothe irritated skin, goat milk is soothing and helps calm red irritated skin
Pairing charcoal with natural goat milk soap creates an effective solution for troubled skin. Our charcoal soap contains no essential oils, which might seem plain—yet for sensitive skin, even essential oils can be irritating. For best results, follow your cleanse with our unscented face cream with Shea butter. Even oily skin can benefit from a light moisturizer at night, as a little hydration goes a long way in maintaining healthy skin plus Shea butter is soothing and is not oily.
If you’re struggling with acne or skin irritations, incorporating activated charcoal soap into your routine could be a game-changer—offering natural acne help and clearer, healthier skin.
