black mask

The blackhead mask used for skin care is what’s known as activated charcoal. It just means it has been treated to increase its absorbency. And activated charcoal isn’t anything new—it’s been around for years. In fact, it got its start in the emergency room as a treatment for accidental poisonings and overdoses. In this case, the charcoal absorbs the foreign substance before it has a chance to enter the bloodstream.
