Everything you need to know about the purifying face mask.

Highly utilised during antiquity, charcoal is brimming with benefits for the skin and is frequently found in facial masks. It is particularly recognised for its absorbing power. Indeed, charcoal is capable of absorbing excess sebum that makes the skin oily, thereby reducing the appearance of pores and the skin's shiny aspect (mattifying effect). Moreover, charcoal-based skincare products are effective for deep cleansing of the skin and unclogging pores, which are congested by impurities, bacteria and dead cells. Thanks to its detoxifying, sanitising and purifying virtues, charcoal skin care thus limits the appearance of blackheads and spots, revealing a more radiant skin. Additionally, this ingredient helps to combat skin ageing due to its antioxidant content. Therefore, this natural plant-based active ingredient is particularly recommended for combination to oily skin or skin prone to imperfections.

Besides charcoal, our purifying face mask contains two other key active ingredients:

• Thestinging nettle, with a high content of trace elements (sulphur, zinc, and copper), possesses purifying virtues, allows for the tightening of dilated pores, limits the appearance of blemishes due to its anti-inflammatory virtues and helps to regulate sebum production ;

• Thegreen clay helps toabsorb and eliminate excess sebum, much like charcoal. It also has healing, soothing and softening properties.

This beauty treatment actively works to dislodge impurities and refine the appearance of pores. Thus, spots, blemishes or blackheads are eliminated, leaving behind clean, radiant, clear and purified skin.

Thanks to its numerous virtues, the charcoal mask helps to regulate sebum secretion, dry out blemishes and purify the skin, making it an ally for skin prone to imperfections or with an acne tendency, and for combination to oily skin types.

If you have dry and/or sensitive skin, there are no contraindications. However, it is advised to use it sparingly, as this treatment could potentially harm the skin's natural protection and further weaken the epidermis. A face mask should cater to the specific needs of your skin. It can be hydrating, regenerating or purifying depending on whether you have issues with skin dryness, dull complexion, blemishes or irregularities.
