If you are ready to amp up your natural radiance and detox your skin, stat, look no further than DERMA-E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub and DERMA-E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask. Both of these skin care products contain Activated Charcoal which is known for absorbing 100 to 200 times its weight in impurities and naturally drawing impurities from your skin like a sponge.

With an abundance of skin care products on the market that promise to improve your skin, charcoal face products do have a unique advantage. Activated Charcoal has historically been used for health benefits. Whether it's removing toxins from drinking water or treating alcohol poisoning and overdoses in hospital emergency rooms, it has a proven record. However, the reason I prefer to use DERMA-E Activated Charcoal products is that the ingredients are gentle on my skin, they are packed with powerful minerals and natural toxin fighters from the earth and sea, and I can feel the difference in my skin. And, of course, who wouldn't love DERMA-E's commitment to 100% vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, mineral oil-free, lanolin-free, gluten-free, GMO-free, eco-ethical skin care? I sure do! 

DERMA-E Purifying Daily Detox Scrub. 

First off, this is not your typical facial scrub. This facial exfoliant is super gentle and can be used daily. It has just enough grit to gently exfoliate dead skin cells from the surface and reveal smoother, softer skin. By removing dull, dry skin cells, it helps moisturizers work better and penetrate deeper into the skin. 

Your daily detox delight!

When I used this scrub for the very first time, I could instantly feel a difference in my skin, and after several weeks of using it, I absolutely love it! It has an amazing glow-boosting effect and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. I was a little worried that it would over dry my mature skin, but it feels softer and smoother than ever! I used to wash my face and quickly apply a moisturizer, but now it feels so soft and smooth after cleansing my skin, I probably wouldn't even need to use my moisturizer. No, I would dream of not applying a moisturizer, but my skin really does feel hydrated after using this detox scrub. I don't know if it's the Marine Algae Extracts or a combination of ingredients, but I can say with 100% certainty that I love how my skin feels after using it!

How to use:

Apply a small amount of the scrub to wet skin and gently massage in circular motions. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Use daily and enjoy! 

DERMA-E Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask. 
Update! My daughter had a sunburn-type reaction to the face mask after leaving it on her face for only a few minutes. Face masks can be a lot of fun and masking is an excellent way to target and treat a variety of skin problems such as dry skin, oily skin, wrinkles, and acne. This 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask is a soothing way to help beautify and freshen your skin with antioxidant-rich, mineral-rich seaweed and other natural toxin fighters. It helps to remove environmental toxins and impurities that can clog pores and make the skin look dull and absorbs excess oil to prevent breakouts from forming. Use one to two times per week for best results. 

How to use: 

Prior to using the mask, you will want to prep your skin and ensure that it is clean by using a gentle cleanser to remove any surface dirt, oil, and makeup from your face. When removing your face mask, don't rub or scrub the skin. Instead, apply a washcloth soaked in warm water and place it over your face for a few seconds, then gently wipe away the product. After your skin is clear of the mask, pat gently to dry and follow with a soothing and hydrating moisturizer. 

Remember, self-care is important. Take time to relax, pamper yourself, and nourish your skin. You deserve it!

As a warning, even the best charcoal skin care products should not be used with retinols, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide.

DERMA-E products can be found in several stores, including ULTA, CVS, Whole Foods, and Walgreens. To learn more, visit DERMA-E.
