10 Ways To Use Charcoal For Skin Care
We
often
face
a
number
of
skin
problems
like
blackheads,
whiteheads,
pimples
or
acne.
Some
might
squeeze
them
to
get
rid
of
them
while
others
might
just
use
nose
strips
-
but
they
are
all
painful
and
tedious.

they
will
reappear
in
a
few
days.
So
what
is
it
that
you
can
do
to
permanently
get
rid
of
them?
Try
using
charcoal
for
skin
care.
Charcoal has a number of benefits to offer. It fights blackheads and whiteheads and gives you clear skin. Moreover, it also removes dirt and dust settled on the pores of your skin and unclogs them. It reduces the appearance of acne and pimples and also helps to get rid of toxins from your skin. Charcoal also helps to remove excess oil from your skin, making it a premium pick of those having oily skin problems. [1] Besides, it also moisturises your skin, making it soft, supple, and healthy.
