NEW Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Masque


When your skin is stressed, New Charcoal Rescue Masque delivers the fast acting "pick-me-up" you need! It has the power to address skin aging, dullness, breakouts, and sensitivity simultaneously for a healthy, vibrant and balanced glow.


Featuring activated binchotan charcoal
Charcoal Rescue Masque contains high-quality Binchotan White Charcoal, the king of natural detoxifiers. This traditional charcoal of Japan, made from Japanese Ubame Oak, is renowned for its ability to adsorb- or bind itself to -multiple impurities at once.

Fast-acting, easy-to-remove masque rescues tired, lackluster or dull skin. Activated Binchotan Charcoal powerfully adsorbs impurities while Sulfur promotes cell turnover for dramatically brighter skin. Volcanic Ash, Sea Silt, Bamboo Extract and alpha hydroxy acids further accelerate skin brightening with dual-action exfoliation. Niacinamide helps reduce congestion and calm the skin while Chilean Wild Mint helps refine pores. Formulated without artificial fragrances, colors or parabens.

Top Causes Behind Dry Skin



Weather / Environmental elements
Cold winds and low temperatures can dry out skin, depriving it of balanced levels of oils, and contributing to premature aging.
Prolonged exposure to the sun causes water to evaporate from skin. Forced air heating also dries out skin: warm, dry air acts like a sponge, soaking up moisture from everything it touches.


Lifestyle
The trend of low-fat or fat-free diets can deprive our bodies of skin-friendly Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) critical to all parts of a healthy functioning body. They help protect against water loss within cells and throughout skin, helping to prevent dryness, keeping skin supple and hydrated. An EFA deficiency can result in chronic itching, dryness, scaling, and thinning.
Smoking can have a drying effect on skin: it drains skin and body of vitamins A and C and constricts blood vessels (which equates to less blood flow) – meaning smoking is somewhat like suffocating skin from the inside.
Excess intake of alcoholic beverages and certain medications (such as nasal decongestants) can also contribute to dry skin.
