Detox your skin this summer with Detoxifying Charcoal Masks
Ideal for active, combination/oily
or urban skin types – this is from their newly launched Purifying range. From the science perspective, you
can add in a charcoal mask into your regimen once per week for deep pore cleansing if
your skin appears dull due to congestion. I've explained this in detail in my earlier post.
Activated charcoal absorbs 200x times its weight in impurities, so it acts like
a vacuum for clogging bacteria and environmental pollutants. Something we all need in
this weather, with Dubai temperatures soaring high!

Derma e Purifying mask comes
in a squeeze tube, goes on like a thick greyish-tinted cream, that lightens over time as it dries on your face. It takes less than ten minutes to dry off completely.
It's aloe based, with activated charcoal, two oil-absorbing
clays (bentonite and kaolin), two marine algaes Kimarine
Wakame and Bladderwack (that are both clinically proven to protect skin against
environmental pollutants) and apricot seed powder (to act as a gentle
exfoliator upon removal of the mask).
This product along with
their complete range is free from parabens, phthalates, sulfur, sodium lauryl
sulfate, petrolatum, mineral oil and GMO.

Pros
- Easy to remove (compared to other clay-based masks)
- Detoxifies and exfoliates
- Is paraben-free
- Is fragrance-free
- Does not dry the skin
Cons
If you have
sensitive or dry skin, it might cause a little dryness. Make sure you
slather a generous amount of moisturizer after you’ve used the mask. And use
this only once every two weeks depending on your skin's tolerance.
An additional tip would be:
Use this exclusively on the T-zone if you’re having sensitive, but acne-prone
skin. It also works great as a spot treatment for acne! J
