BENEFITS OF CHARCOAL
FOR SKIN
CHARCOAL IS THE BEAUTY TREND OF THE MOMENT
But what makes this wonder ingredient so great for your skin? And how does buying our Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask and new Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Facial Soap help protect red pandas in the Himalayas?
WHAT IS CHARCOAL?
Charcoal has been used for its purifying properties for centuries. It’s a micro-porous material that can help to draw out impurities. Our charcoal comes from bamboo plants that have been blasted in an oven at temperatures over 1,000°C!
HOW & WHERE IS OUR CHARCOAL SOURCED?
Our bamboo charcoal is farm-grown in the Himalayas. The bamboo is hand-harvested after four years, by which point it has grown an incredible amount. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world, making it a very environmentally friendly resource.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING CHARCOAL?
Many Asian civilizations, including India, Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan, have been using charcoal for centuries. The Japanese traditionally use charcoal for dietary detoxing, believing charcoal to absorb waste materials from the digestive system. It’s also commonly used as an air, water or oil purifier. In beauty, charcoal has been undergoing a strong buzz thanks to its purifying properties. You’ll often find it in toothpastes and deep-cleansing skincare for oily skin.

5 TIPS TO PURIFY YOUR SKIN
STEAM YOUR SKIN
Steaming your skin is a great way to effectively purify your pore. simply fill up a bowl of hot water (be careful!) and place your face over the steam with a towel over your head - try this before exfoliating for super-effective deep cleansing.
EXFOLIATE WITH A FACE MASK OR PEEL
It's really important to remove pollutants, excess oil, make-up and impurities from your skin, especially if you live in a big city. We recommend using our Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask twice a week, alternating with the Drops of Youth Liquid Peel.
