A while back I got a huge sample of Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask from Beauty.com.  The color of the mask (dark gray) is a little scary, but I figured I’d try it.  I’m glad I did!  I don’t have “problem skin” but who doesn’t want smaller pores?  Almost everyone has some larger pores on the sides of the nose, etc.  Well, I couldn’t believe what a good job it did!  You put it on your damp face after you’ve opened your pores with a warm wash cloth, as it dries you feel your skin tighten… it’s a weird feeling.  After it’s all dry, you rinse it off.  I definitely noticed a more refined looking skin tone!

At $21 for 3.4 fl. oz. it is also one of the better deals out there in the skincare world.  Here are the package details: When environmental toxins, dirt and debris get under your skin, its waste-filtering system gets jammed, pores get clogged, skin looks cloudy. Nature’s complexion clean-up crew gets to the bottom of skins overcast condition and clears the way for it to act its best. Activated Charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers, White China Clay absorbs environmental toxins, Lecithin dissolves impurities. Without all that “stuff” down there, skin “breathes a sigh of relief.”

I’m adding it to my skincare regime for sure!
