Activated Charcoal: The Black Diamond Against Skin Pollution

Experts emphasize the benefits of activated charcoal in combating skin issues caused by pollution. Known for its excellent absorbing properties, it helps in reducing sebum and clearing toxins, preventing acne. It's gaining popularity in Asian and European markets as a natural cleanser.

As pollution levels rise in the national capital, experts recommend activated charcoal as a natural remedy to prevent skin pore clogging and toxin absorption. The masks made from this 'Black Diamond' are known for effectively minimizing oily sebum, thus aiding in acne treatment.

Dr. R P Parasher, the national president of the Integrated Medical Association (Ayush), points out the potential risks posed by particulate matter and chemicals in polluted air, which can block skin pores and damage organs. Activated charcoal, with its superior ability to absorb toxic elements, offers a protective solution.

Increased awareness and demand have boosted the popularity of charcoal products in Asian and European markets, providing a natural defense against pollution-driven skin concerns. However, experts warn against overuse due to potential skin dryness.
