Charcoal beauty is the #1 most raved about product on the market right now. From masks to shampoo and conditioners charcoal has a number of good effects on the skin and overall beauty. The charcoal product I am talking about right now is our very own Mary Kay Charcoal Mask. This is by far my favorite charcoal mask I have ever used (and I have tried a lot of them). I have found with this charcoal mask I get the most benefits for my skin for the cheapest price on the market. A bottle lasts me almost 6 months for only $24.00.
First I am going to list off every benefit this MK Charcoal Mask does for the skin:
-activated charcoal acts like a magnet to unclog pores
-activated charcoal in this mask is so powerful it can bind up to double its weight in pore-clogging impurities
-formula is clinically shown to instantly absorb excess oil and reduce shine
-the mineral clay ingredients: kaolin & bentonite boost the mask’s absorbency so it soaks up the excess oil to deliver a smooth matte appearance
-79% of men and women agreed: “skin looks clearer” after use
-extracts of rosemary and peppermint that is found exclusively in our product delivers a fresh scent to awaken senses
-the same botanical extracts help clear the way to beautiful skin
-contains honeysuckle and navy bean extracts shown to target the appearance of skin discoloration and dark spots
With all of the crucial amazing benefits listed above that only the Mary Kay Charcoal Mask can provide, I will list out the key ingredients that make up our mask below:
1. When charcoal goes through a heating process it becomes activated, making it porous. Charcoal is what is known to absorb up to double its weight in impurities in our pores.
2. Kaolin and Bentonite Clays instantly absorb excess oil and reduces shine while reducing the appearance of pores.
3. Honeysuckle and Navy Bean Extracts targets the appearance of skin discoloration and dark spots.
Now that you know and understand the essentials behind the MK Charcoal Mask and what it is made out of to bring the benefits to life for the skin, I will provide you with a step by step application tips for the mask.
1. Make sure your face is cleansed with your favorite cleanser (I specifically use our TimeWise Miracle Set 3D in the combination/oily)
2. After skin is cleansed apply a thin even layer of mask to skin. (avoiding sensitive spots; I have sensitive spots around my lower nose area, around my mouth, and around my eyes.)
3. Experience the benefits as it goes to work, transforming from a rich, creamy texture to a soft, matte finish as it dries and absorbs your skin impurities.
4. Leave on your skin for about 10-20 minutes at a time.
5. Remove the charcoal mask with warm water and a wash cloth.
6. Follow with our Moisture Renewing Gel Mask for the moisture your skin will need right after.
You may be wondering what is included in the photo above with the Charcoal Mask or what happens after you take the mask off? The answer to that is our Moisture Renewing Gel Mask.
The Moisture Renewing Gel Mask is essential for the skin after removing the Charcoal Mask because it puts back the moisture into the CLEAN pores. Like I stated above, the Charcoal Mask removes impurities in the pores and cleans them out but also removes excess oil and shine from the pores. This is where the Moisture Renewing Gel Mask comes in to rehydrate the cleaned out pores.
Below is a list of the benefits from the Gel Mask:
-superhydrating, age-fighting formula that makes skin feel firmer & smoother
-increases skin resilience
-lock in vital moisture to help skin look fresher and more youthful
-skin appears less stressed, feels nourished, purified, and calm
-instantly hydrates while locking in moisture
-helps reduce the appearance of pores as well as fine lines and wrinkles
-used for all types of skin (dry and oily)
-dermatologist tested & oil free
-botanical extracts: chamomile, rosewood, and lavandin leaves you with a sense of well-being
Key Ingredients in the Moisture Renewing Gel Mask that make all the benefits listed above come to life for your skin are as follows:
1. Vitamin E– antioxidant known for its skin conditioning and soothing benefits.
2. Acai Berry Extract– antioxidant known to protect the skin from damaging products generated by the environment (like being around a smoker).
3. Vitamin B3– known to fortify the skin’s barrier.
4. Chestnut Seed Extract– helps firm & calm skin.
5. Squalene– acts as a lubricant on the skin’s surface for a soft, smooth appearance.
6. Botanical Blend– provides a delightful, aromatic sense of well-being.
All you have to do with the Moisture Renewing Gel Mask is after you take off your Charcoal Mask apply an even layer over skin. If you use this amazing duo during the day or in the morning at least leave the Gel Mask on for 10 minutes before removing with warm water and a washcloth. If you are like me, I use this duo at night so I leave the Moisture Renewing Gel Mask on overnight to work through my skin even more!
I use the Charcoal Mask & Moisture Renewing Gel Mask as the powerful duo they were made out to be. You can buy them both separate, or as the Mix & Match duo for the best results yet. Only $46 for the duo set which you can click on in the previous sentence. This set lasts me for almost 6 months when using it 1-2x per week.
