Activated Charcoal Can Take Years Off Your Skin

Left image was what my skin looked like in early 2022. Right image was 6 months later! Image below is today (June 2025)

I had such bad sunspots on my forehead people would ask me what happened. I have always been a sun lover but I don't like sunscreen. I believe we need as much sun rays as we can get! But I didn't know I could protect my skin without sunscreen products. When I began my business and started learning about oils and essential oils that actually block UV rays and heal damage done to skin I decided to really focus on reversing the damage I had done to my skin. Within 6 months my sunspots had almost completely disappeared. As you can see there was still some damage and my super deep wrinkles were still very visible but, the results I was getting were amazing!

I tried to get the lighting the same but not sure ho I did it in the 1st two photos. No editing done on any of the photos.

The year I began using the products I had formulated was the same year we adopted our dog Zekiel. I spent up to 8 hours a day outside with him every single day that summer. I had a beautiful tan AND my sunspots were disappearing. All without sunscreen! At that time I had been using the original formulas of the Deep Healing Serum, Face Lotion and Night Cream. I decided to reformulate the Deep Healing Serum to what it is today. But the thing I believe was the most important thing I started using was activated charcoal. When researching ways to reverse sun damage activated charcoal came up over and over again. So, I created the Rejuvenating Mask and that is what took my skin to the next level!

Activated charcoal has many benefits when it comes to your skin. You don't have to use a peel off mask that is painful to remove to get the benefits from this amazing ingredient! It can help soak up excess oil, dirt, and other pollutants which may help prevent breakouts. Charcoal can unclog pores and remove dead skin cells by binding to toxins and bacteria, which may help improve skin texture and appearance including lightening dark spots. Unfortunately it has gotten a bad name because of all those peel off masks that hurt. I use powdered charcoal in our mask. You do not peel it off, simple wet it with a warm cloth and wipe it off.

Activated charcoal it's self does not reverse sun damage. However, it helps to prepare the skin for the ingredients in serums and moisturizers so the skin can be healed on a deep cellular level. It does so by acting as a gentle exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and reveal brighter, smoother skin. This can contribute to a more even complexion and potentially make dark spots less noticeable over time. By removing impurities, activated charcoal helps support the skin's natural barrier, allowing it to better absorb nourishing ingredients from other skincare products. This can contribute to healthier, more resilient skin overall.

This amazing ingredient doesn't just help with aging issues. One of the most important benefits is the ability to balance oil in the skin. It helps absorb excess sebum (natural skin oil), which can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts. By regulating oil production, it leaves your skin looking and feeling more matte and balanced. Charcoal helps remove impurities and excess oil that contribute to acne. Its antibacterial properties can also help combat acne-causing bacteria on the skin's surface, leading to a clearer complexion and reduced breakouts.

While especially beneficial for oily and acne-prone skin, activated charcoal can also be used by those with normal, combination, and even sensitive skin (with caution). Its gentle nature can provide deep cleansing without over-drying or irritating the skin, especially when paired with hydrating ingredients, like in our Clean & Clear Foaming Face Wash or Charcoal Facial Bar.

To simplify skincare, I have formulated all of our products to be for all skin types and all ages. So if you are in your 20s looking to slow the aging process, or in your 50s looking to reverse damage done, our products with activated charcoal will provide many benefits.
