The Honest Truth about Peel-Off Charcoal Masks
Have you been using those aggressive peel-off charcoal masks? Did you know that this latest craze in the skincare industry can actually be damaging your skin?
When you apply these types of masks to your face and try to peel it off, the mask is actually adhering to everything on your face. It is removing the necessary protective natural oils that sit on top of your face as well as the hair. These types of masks can also lead to rashes, chemical burns and pain. Yikes!
Our natural oils are actually protecting our skin from daily aggressors in the air and bacteria. So when you peel off your mask you're actually stripping these oils in the process; doing more harm than good.
Our Charcoal Mask deeply soaks into your skin and goes to work right away to cleanse your pores, absorb oil, exfoliate and remove blackheads and dirt. The best part is with Ladione's Clarifying Activated Charcoal Face Mask you can wash these impurities away-not rip them off.
Active Ingredients That Work
Active Charcoal
Did you know that active charcoal has been around for years? Doctors have been using it as an absorbent on patients who have many have accidental poisonings for overdoses. This is because active charcoal absorbs foreign substances in the body.
The same idea applies when we spread it on our skin. It deeply penetrates the skin and the active charcoal draws oil, dirt, toxins, and bacteria out of the skin when we rinse our face.
Kaolin Clay
We incorporate delicate White Kaolin Clay in our Face Mask because of its ability to mildly exfoliate sensitive skin. Like active charcoal, it draws out impurities such as germs and dirt, leaving the skin cleansed and unclogged.
This superior clay is one of our favorites in that it pampers the skin and overall improves the appearance of skin leaving it radiant and soft.
Hyaluronic Acid
Did you know Hyaluronic acid, known as Hyaluronan, is actually already in our skin? This carbohydrate molecule is a lubricant found in our bodies, specifically in the connective tissues of our joints, skin, eyes, and nerves.
Why do we love it in the skincare industry? It delivers an immense amount of moisture to our skin! This molecule can actually hold up to one thousand times its weight in water.
As the active charcoal and clays draw out impurities, our active ingredient hyaluronic acid acts as a humectant to deliver skin-soothing moisture and anti-inflammatory properties.
Your skin will be cleaner, healthier and smoother after each mask application!
How to use:
Apply a thick, even layer to clean, dry skin. Leave the masque on for 10–15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. To get the best results, masque 2-3 times a week if you have oily to combination skin, or 1-2 times weekly if you have dry or sensitive skin.
