Charcoal is perfect for drawing away impurities from your skin.

A recent article in the Telegraph explains how charcoal's porous surface is the perfect solution to drawing away and absorbing impurities, grease and grime from your skin and making them easy to wash off. It is also a good exfoliator and so is becoming a popular ingredient for many skin care products

Charcoal, when refined to a powder form makes a really effective exfoliator and cleanser for you skin. It can draw dirt, oils and grime to the surface and absorb it, making it easy to then wash off.
