From whitening teeth to alleviating skin problems and digestive woes, charcoal seems to be the magic ‘it’ ingredient at the moment. Traditionally used to treat drug and alcohol poisoning, charcoal is now being used in beauty products thanks to its powerful detoxifying properties – it works like a magnet to attract and absorb dirt and oil.
And since autumn is upon us on Aussie shores, we’ve selected a few charcoal beauty products for your face, body and hair to leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.
