Fall will soon be upon us in the next few days, and as seasons change, so must a woman's skincare routine, and now is the time of year when a deep cleanse might be just what you need after a long, hot summer exposing yourself to the elements. After months of being in the outdoors, our skin has been subjected to all manner of pollutants, bacteria, UV rays from the sun and more. Before heading into colder days that may require heavier amounts of a moisturizer than previous months, start your fall off right with a deep cleansing to repair the undetectable havoc wreaked onto skin from summer fun in the sun. NUY 40 + 's Suggestion? Activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is an incredible detoxifier that can be used to deep cleanse the skin. Known to reduce access oil from skin, it absorbs grime, dirt, toxins, and pollutants from the skin while also minimizing skin pores.
Activated charcoal is known to absorb 100 to 200 times its weight in impurities. In powder form, it has no added chemicals, and can often be used on the most sensitive of skin. When activated charcoal is applied to your skin, the charcoal carbon comes into contact with toxins and soaks up any excess oils or impurities present. Its texture makes it ideal as a natural exfoliator and helps to remove dead skin cells from the face for a refreshed glow. Activated charcoal also has antimicrobial properties that may help to prevent skin infections. Check out our NUY 40+ Beauty edit of the most effective activated charcoal products we've found currently on the market as you head into the cool weather months with a fresh face for fall.
