All Black Everything: Skincare Products and Recommendations
Hey everybody! I recently noticed that most of my skincare products are black or come in some kind of black container, so I decided to title this post All Black Everything! So I've listed a little bit about my top 7 black skincare products below.
Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser
(retails at Target for $5.99 and the bar version retails at Target for $5.59)
Used daily. The charcoal draws out dirt and impurities.
Ideal for: oily and normal skin
Perks: Oil-Free, Hypoallergenic, Non-Comedogenic
Biore Charcoal Strips
(come 6 in a box, retails for $7.49 at Ulta)
After washing your face, thoroughly wet your nose. Peel the strip off the plastic liner and apply by sticking it to your nose area, smoothing the sides down ad pressing down to ensure good contact with your skin. Let it dry for about 10-15 minutes until stiff to the touch, and then slowly peel off starting at the edges.
Ideal for: oily and normal skin, acne prone skin
Balm & Co. Activated Charcoal Cleanser
(retails at shopthebalm.co for $24)
This cleanser is very similar to the Biore deep pore charcoal cleanser, but in my opinion it’s a more gentle and made with less ingredients. It helps to detox, balance and activate healing of the skin. It’s great for acne-prone skin and reducing oiliness without being harsh. The ingredients include Aloe Vera Gel, Activated Charcoal (coconut derived), Jojoba oil, Eucalyptus Floral Water, Essential Oil Blend, and Xanthan Gum (GMO-free).
Ideal for: oily and normal skin
Balm & Co. Activated Charcoal Blemish Stick
(retails at shopthebalm.co for $10)
When applied to emerging pimples, the blemish stick works its magic by drying up the spot.
Ideal for: all skin types
Shea Moisture African Black Soap Clarifying Mud Mask
(sample retails at Target for $2.49 .5 oz.; full size retails for $14.99 6 oz.)
Especially formulated with organic Shea Butter, Oats and Aloe to cleanse, moisturize and comfort irritated skin while absorbing excess oil.
Ideal for: dry and normal skin, acne prone skin
Shea Moisture African Black Soap
(retails at Target for $4.99)
It comforts irritated skin and moisturizes. It also hydrates chapped lips, soothes the scalp, conditions hair, protects hair from heat, and softens skin and hair.
Ideal for: dry and normal skin
Perks: multidimensional in use
LUSH Dark Angels Cleanser
(retails for different prices, based on weight; check lushusa.com for online pricing if you don’t purchase in store)
Black sugar and charcoal exfoliate and absorb excess oils to leave dull, oily or acne-prone skin feeling fresh and matte. Even oily skin can be sensitive, so we've made this one soft and soothing to calm redness and irritation, too. Its rhassoul mud base deeply cleanses to help prevent breakouts, while vitamin-rich cold pressed organic avocado oil nourishes skin to leave it soft and lightly hydrated. Use all over for perfectly smooth, bright skin.
Ideal for: oily skin
And that’s it! I hope you found this useful! As always, thanks for journeying with me.
