SKIN REPORT > Black Magic Breaking into the realm of charcoal skin care BY BRIAN UNDERWOOD It’s thick, it’s black and it’s been used in emergency rooms across the country to absorb toxins from the stomach. It’s activated charcoal, a special form of carbon that has an increased absorbency so it can latch onto contaminants and clear them away. Until recently, you’d probably never even see the stuff unless you had a few too many and wound up in the hospital. But brands are adding this wonder ingredient to all sorts of skin care products for its ability to clear away dirt, oil and grime. “Think of it a bit like a magnet,” says licensed aesthetician Jaime Cane, director of education for the skin care brand derma e. “The porous surface of the carbon molecule draws grime out of your pores.” So if you have particularly oily or acne-prone skin, this ingredient can help big-time. Here’s the science behind the craze — and five products that can put activated charcoal to work for your skin. 6 • <strong>FALL</strong>/WINTER
Black Magic < SKIN REPORT Freeman Feeling Beautiful Charcoal & Black Sugar Polishing Mask 1Is it a mask? Is it a scrub? It’s both! Every guy with a T-zone that looks like it got hit by the Exxon Valdez could use this wonder product. Once a week, apply it to your skin and let it sit for five to seven minutes so the activated charcoal can vacuum away excess sebum. Then gently massage the sugary scrub onto your skin to buff it to perfection. Bioré Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser 2This foaming face wash is infused with natural charcoal to deep-clean pores and remove twice as much dirt and impurities as a regular cleanser. Pump it into wet hands and work it into a rich lather; massage it into your face and rinse thoroughly. Trust us, your skin will thank you. Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Activated Charcoal Bar Soap 3If you hit the gym on the regular, there’s a good chance you might be dealing with body breakouts (sweat is the perfect breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria). This 95% natural body bar can be used all over to clear away pimples on the back, shoulders and legs. Your girlfriend will love the results. Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips 4Who doesn’t get some strange satisfaction from slipping one of these puppies onto their nose and seeing all the gunk that comes out? The 2.0 version of these strips adds activated charcoal to the mix for even more porecleaning power. Yes to Tomatoes Clear Skin Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask 5Slap a thick layer of this mud mask onto your skin (in private, when no one’s looking, of course!), let it dry for about 10 minutes, and rinse it away with water. You’ll notice smaller-looking pores, a shinefree T-zone and smoother skin. <strong>FALL</strong>/WINTER • 7
