Almost every month, a new beauty fad takes over the world. Beauty products with activated charcoal have become a household name since it hit the market. Thanks to its ability to unclog pores and remove dirt, bacteria, and all kinds of nasties on the skin's surface, the ingredient has made a name for itself in the beauty world. 

By definition, activated charcoal is charcoal that has been treated so it can attract and trap toxins in our bodies before they are absorbed. On the skin's surface, it acts as a magnet for oils, dead skin cells, and dirt from environmental exposure. 

Charcoal is known for its diverse uses--whitening teeth and reducing acne, leaving your skin bright and clear. Here are some products with activated charcoal that you must have:
