Is Charcoal Wax Good for Skin?

February 16, 2022

If you want a pleasant treatment that also removes all unwanted hairs from your body's most intimate areas, nothing beats the effectiveness of Hard Body Waxes. Hard waxes bring out all the advantages you could expect from a professional hair removal service, and they minimize the pain on the skin during the treatment. Among them, charcoal waxes are a well-known option that many clients prefer, and the fact that activated charcoal can also be used for soft waxes makes it all the more accessible for different hair removal treatments. Today, we'll learn more about charcoal waxes, and see what makes them so special.

Uses of Charcoal in Skin Care

Charcoal comprises various carbon-based materials, and activated charcoal is what you get when this black powder is dissolved. Through heat exposure, the charcoal becomes more porous, so its absorption properties become enhanced enough to serve a variety of purposes, starting with the absorption of toxic substances from different parts of the human body. You can find activated charcoal all over the beauty industry, particularly when it comes to skin care products.

The absorption properties we just described are the main draw of products infused with charcoal. When it's part of skin care formulas, charcoal helps treat impurities by removing dirt and absorbing the oiliness (sebum) that's collected on the skin. Because of this, it has also been used to prevent or minimize acne breakouts.

There are no studies to prove whether charcoal provides any additional skin care benefits, but dermatologists and professionals in the beauty industry deem it safe for regular use, as it actually helps prevent infection and irritation. Charcoal-based products come in handy for people with naturally greasy skin, but can be used by anyone without risking allergies, or other forms of skin damage. For this reason, many brands have used charcoal in combination with other natural properties for different skin care purposes, like detox masks and other treatments destined to cleanse the pores.

Since there's no science proving that charcoal can help the skin on its own, it's always important to care for it in other ways, using charcoal as a nice addition to a wider skin care routine. Drinking water, regular exfoliation, daily washing, and products enriched with vitamin C / natural ingredients are all good ways to keep the skin healthy and hydrated.

Now, let's assess the advantages of charcoal in relation to hair removal treatments. Is charcoal wax good for the skin?

What About Charcoal Wax?

Known for its intense dark color and cleansing effect, charcoal wax has proven to be highly effective for hair removal. It is enriched with activated charcoal to eliminate the toxins from the skin, and this makes it a good choice for skins with acne and other issues that could clog the pores. It also helps prevent infections and the spread of bacteria on newly waxed skin. In other words, charcoal's properties detoxify the skin and purify the pores, helping the skin's protection during the post-wax healing period.

Charcoal wax removes the unwanted hairs from the root without straining the skin and maintains the same level of effectiveness whether you're working with fine or coarse hairs.

It's safe to say that charcoal wax is most famous for its purifying properties. In fact, these properties are also the reason why you can see a new glow in your skin as soon as you rip off the wax layer (and all the hairs on the area.)
Activated charcoal can be found in soft and hard waxes alike, and salons are usually expected to offer charcoal waxes among the most exclusive options available. Many clients wish to have all the unwanted hairs removed without a hitch, and they also look forward to seeing that post-wax shine on their skin.

Beauty Image's Luxe Detox line combines all the benefits of activated charcoal with the moisturizing properties of caviar to make the skin look radiant after waxing. It also has creamy, thick texture that feels pleasant to the touch. Both our low- low-melting hard wax micropearls and canned soft wax provide a thorough detoxifying effect that leaves all types of skin silky and rejuvenated. These waxes are also flexible after melting, so you can work comfortably without wasting too much of your formula to ensure the perfect treatment.

Choosing Professional Charcoal Waxes

Charcoal waxes are an ideal alternative for people with sensitive and oily skins. As we mentioned earlier, they have a pleasant texture, even if the charcoal admittedly makes them a bit stickier than other wax products. Because of this, the thick consistency of the wax may be difficult to handle. If you need to apply a second layer of wax on a freshly treated area, you may find trouble keeping up with the wax's cooling time. While charcoal wax is good for the skin, you should probably book a salon appointment to make the best of its absorption properties.

You can count on a professional esthetician to minimize the discomfort while effectively removing all the hairs from your skin, especially if they're using Beauty Image's signature line of charcoal waxes. In a single session, you'll get rid of body hair and the wax will enhance the protection provided by the pre and post-wax treatments.
