🎃 This Halloween, I’m telling you all about my favorite mask - a charcoal mask! This mask is not for hiding your face, but improving the appearance of your face. 🖤

If you’ve never tried a charcoal mask, now’s the perfect time to treat your skin to a deep detox. Whether you’re a woman over 50, a busy mom, or a skincare-loving teen, this mask is for everyone.

I'm demonstrating the charcoal mask that I've been using for several years: the Mary Kay ClearProof Deep-Cleansing Charcoal Mask. Get excited, because you’ll see it working its spooky magic in real time! 👻

🖤 Why Charcoal Masks Work Like Magic

Activated charcoal acts like a magnet, pulling impurities, oil, and bacteria out of your pores. But the real secret is in the supporting list of ingredients that make it effective for all skin types and ages:

• Activated Charcoal: Draws out dirt, oil, and toxins from deep within your pores.

• Kaolin & Bentonite Clays: Absorb excess oil and control shine, making it perfect for men and teens.

• Honeysuckle & Navy Bean Extracts: Help brighten skin, even out skin tone, and reduce the look of dark spots.

• Peppermint Extract: Adds a cooling sensation that feels fresh and energizing.

  I use a silicone mask applicator as seen in the photo above to apply my charcoal mask.

💪 Why It’s Great for Every Age (and Gender)

No matter your stage of life, your skin will thank you for a little detox:

• Men: Reduces shine and clears clogged pores from sweat and oil buildup.

• Teens: Fights acne-causing bacteria and minimizes blackheads.

• Under 50: Smooths skin texture and helps reduce fine lines.

• Over 50: Brightens dull skin and revives your natural glow.

🧖‍♀️ What to Expect When You Use It

As the mask dries, you’ll notice:

• Dark dots forming — that’s oil and dirt being pulled from your pores!

• Ashy spots — those are areas where blemishes are being addressed.

• Tightening of your skin — as the mask dries, your skin begins to feel tight while the mask is gently exfoliating the top layer of dead skin*.

  💫 It’s oddly satisfying to watch and proof that it’s really working!

*If you are currently using a peel-off charcoal mask, you may be interested to know that while some websites claim that the drying and tightening process of a peeling mask is a form of safe exfoliation,many dermatologists and skin experts say this is a harmful myth. A peel-off charcoal mask doesn't gently exfoliate; it aggressively strips off the top protective layer of your skin, a process that is damaging, not beneficial. Their recommendation if you are interested in a safer charcoal mask is to choose a wash-off , clay-based mask instead of a peel-off formula, which is exactly what is featured in my video this week!
