Activated Charcoal Soap — Deep Cleansing Benefits

Activated charcoal has become a popular ingredient in skincare for its ability to bind to surface impurities and help lift them away during a wash — a useful option for those wanting a deeper clean, particularly after a day of pollution or sweat.

It's best used a couple of times a week rather than daily, since its deep-cleansing action can be a bit much for very dry or sensitive skin if overused.

Amokesha's Charcoal soap is a good fit for combination or oily skin, especially around the T-zone, and pairs well with a lighter moisturiser afterward.
