A charcoal mask is a type of face mask that typically contains activated charcoal as the main ingredient. Activated charcoal is a highly porous form of carbon that has been treated to increase its adsorption properties. When applied to the skin, it is said to help draw out impurities, such as dirt, oil and bacteria, from the pores. Charcoal masks are typically used to help improve the overall appearance of the skin, reduce the appearance of acne and blackheads, and leave the skin feeling clean and refreshed. They come in different forms, such as a cream, gel, or clay. It is usually applied to the face for a certain period of time and then washed off. It is important to use the mask as directed, and to patch test it before using it on the entire face.
