If you’re sensitive (in the skin) and find that your skin feels dry after using a charcoal mask, then use it only once a week or every couple of weeks. It’s convenient to include charcoal masks in your nighttime skincare routine because the mask needs to sit on your face for 15minutes to activate skin pores. If you’re a morning person and want to use it in the morning, you can use it before taking a shower and then wash the mask off afterwards.
