This is a bit spendy at $30.00 but it is amazing, and I rarely buy any skin masks or toners. I've found the all natural ones work better and without any adverse reactions. I was exposed to some chemicals due to a fire and my immune system has been out of whack ever since. I started getting hives or something on my face and chest.
I've never had acne and what was happening on my skin wasn't acne. I have a masters in bioscience, which doesn't make me an expert here but I know active charcoal is used to pull out impurities, toxins and is used in ER's for overdoses. Active charcoal capsules are also supposedly help with hangovers by absorbing the excess alcohol toxins. I've not tried the capsules for that purpose, but interesting side note I thought.
I used this several time after washing my face with a really warm washcloth and soap. Then I placed the washcloth on my face to open the pores. I applied it very liberally and left it on for almost two hours. Then I washed it off with soap and water again. I was amazed, over the course of the next week spots on my face I was told were age spots started to wash away - like dead skin.
My skin had so many different tones and spots and welts. After using this, when I washed with a washcloth dead skin seemed to almost roll of my face and chest. My skin looks clear, tone is even, skin glistens now I've told I look younger! I had been embarrassed to be seen in public.
Your skin tells you when something is wrong, it's important to pay attention to it. Most doctors quickly right off skin disruptions as rosacea, age spots or acne. None of which are diagnosis. I've also learned dry skin is dead skin, don't put lotions (most with wax) to make it better - it will make it worse, keeping the dead skin on your body.
The old fashioned remedy - tried and true - use warm water, unscented soap (with lye, lye surrounds dead skin, bacteria, fungus from your skin and sends it down the drain). Forget the 'anti-bacterial soaps really, even doctors will tell you this, they are worthless hype.
Use a washcloth or scrubber of some sort every time you shower/bath. Avoid the temptation to put on lotion or oil after getting out of the shower. Let your natural skin oils do the work, it takes a few weeks to 'retrain' yourself and your skin. But it works, lotions and oil clog your pores and keep the dead skin on you rather than letting your body rejuvenate itself naturally. It's worth a try and doesn't cost anything. I'd be curious to know what other found.
Scary fact: You know the white dust around your home & carpet - that is dead skin cells. Gross, but true. Icky creatures feed on dead skin cells both on and off your body.

Feel-Good Charcoal Mask Absorbs Impurities
This was quite the price for a tube of this stuff. It was recommended as a facial cleanser for guys (and girls), so I decided to try it.The instructions on the bottle says, "Use once a week or as often as needed. Open pores with warm, moist towel and layer on. Allow to dry, rinse well." [see photos]I translated that to mean: wash your face with warm water to open up your pores, then squeeze out a little (nickel to quarter-sized) to apply to your face until you get a thin (or thick) layer on your entire face, wait fifteen to twenty minutes for it to dry, then wash off with cold water.This mask feels a lot better than the cheaper stuff I've used. I have oily skin and my skin felt dry and clean after this and for a day after, which is great for me because oily skin is the devil. It is strong in drying your skin so I use it once a week as suggested, along with my other skin products.Is it worth the price? I think it's a small luxury, but ask me again in ten years. Recommended.
