This constant exposure causes the pores to open over time, due to the accumulation of traces of dust, facial oil, makeup and even skin cleansing products.
Therefore, it is important that we do a detox or deep cleansing of the skin, periodically.

In addition, it helps us to recover the smoothness and youth of our skin, by combating the appearance of free radicals, which are molecules that favor skin aging.
The use of activated charcoal is especially recommended for oilier skin and also for mixed skin, as it will absorb excess oil from the skin, balancing sebaceous production. In this way, it also helps fight acne and prevents its appearance, thanks to its antibacterial properties, since it reduces the size of the pores by eliminating the dirt that clogs them.
Thanks to the use of activated carbon on your skin, you will notice a greater luminosity and balance in the tone and texture of the skin, giving your face a healthier appearance.

1 tablespoon of activated carbon (the finest)
4-6 tablespoons of purified water (can be chamomile)
1 tablespoon of honey
PROCESS
Mix the activated charcoal with the water and honey. Mix well, until you get a mixture without lumps and not too watery so that it stays on your face.
Spread this mixture on the face and neck, leaving it to act for 10 minutes, massaging the entire skin for the first 2 minutes. Wash the area with plenty of warm water. You can replace all or part of the water with coconut oil for best results.
*Note: It is important to moisturize the skin well after applying this mask, since the activated carbon also absorbs moisture from the skin.
