They don't just rid your complexion of all the debris, it also sweeps away dry skin helping to reveal a fresh layer of skin beneath. It also helps stimulate circulation. Always wash your face after a workout to prevent breakouts, and wash excessively oily skin morning and night. For very dry or sensitive skin, stick to cleansing once daily preferably in the evening.

You can wash your face using your hand (circular motion) or with a wash cloth. When using a wash cloth, we advice washing it every day after use or use a new one each time you wash your face. Washcloths can re-deposit dirt and grime right back to your skin if not properly cleaned after each use.

ZeeEight12 Nigeria 'Arike' Activated Charcoal Face Wash:

Charcoal has been into medicinal use for over thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used it as a poultice to clean wounds. The Hindus used it for filtration of water. Also, in the 18th century, pharmacists and chemists studied charcoal to discover its abilities to provide protection from toxins. Presently, activated charcoal (one of the processed forms) is used in water filters as well as an antidote for poison. 

Activated Charcoal, also called Activated Carbon is obtained by burning natural materials such as wood, regular coal, peat or coconut husks. The source material is burned at a very high temperature to form a lightweight mass of carbonaceous charcoal. It means that all the oxygen was removed from source material through controlled oxidation and or processing by steam. Thanks to this process, the charcoal expands creating a porous surface that traps toxins. From this point, we can refer to charcoal as “activated” charcoal. Its natural ability to absorb has been boosted this way. That’s why this fine black powder has a higher efficiency and its maximum usability for the body. The Activated Charcoal Facewash removes daily impurities like dirt, oil and pollution, and deep cleans your skin pores from inside out. The charcoal first draws bacteria, toxins, chemicals, dirt, oil, and other micro-particles to the surface of the skin. It then absorbs those foreign substances and carries them away when you rinse the charcoal off your face. It even clears facial marks resulting from acne.
