It’s that time of year when lists are made, checked twice and skin is found to be naughty or nice! In the spirit of the holidays, we at LovelySkin are delighted to play the role of your not-so-secret Santa. That means we’re stuffing stockings with sweet skin care treats and serving up lumps of coal–or at least our favorite purifying products containing activated charcoal. Whether your complexion deserves some nourishment or is in dire need of a detox, these products will help your skin dazzle this holiday.

Escape the Naughty List with the benefits of activated charcoal.

Have you neglected to cleanse your face after an evening of gift shopping or forgotten your go-to exfoliator while visiting relatives? If so, your congested skin may have earned you a spot on the Naughty List. Fear not, for we’re here to show you how to unclog pores and get your skin back in Santa’s good graces with a dose of activated charcoal.

Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant

Formulated with binchotan charcoal, a type of activated charcoal originally produced in Japan, this highly effective, daily exfoliating cleanser detoxifies and resurfaces skin. Its powder-to-paste formula provides skin with the benefits of activated charcoal and alpha hydroxy acids to purify pores and absorb environmental pollutants. Niacinamide and red algae extract provide further protection against premature aging, ensuring your skin leaves winter unscathed.

Brickell Purifying Charcoal Soap Bar

While this all-natural bar soap may look like a lump of coal, it’s a favorite among men–and for good reason! Its activated charcoal-base contributes to its sleek, smooth texture, which allows the bar to glide across skin, leaving a refreshing scent of peppermint and tea tree in its path. Concerned about overdrying the skin? No worries. Coconut and palm oils promote hydration to ensure your body gets the detox it needs without drying it out.

PCA SKIN Detoxifying Mask

By combining Japanese white charcoal with two types of clay, this pore-refining mask absorbs excess oil, dirt and debris to improve smoothness and promote clear skin. Take your complexion from naughty to nice in a matter of minutes thanks to this detoxifying, mineral-rich facial mask.
