I am not exactly sure what the supposed skin benefits for charcoal soap are, except that it is supposed to help "purify" skin. I have found myself breaking out a little bit lately so while shopping at Walmart I picked up this little soap. Its YesTo brand (never tried that before), charcoal soap made with tomatoes. It has a pleasant scent and was only 3 bucks. Have you ever tried something like that?

We know charcoal is used to make various soaps, so that does not concern me. What we find amusing is so many choices on the shelves now.

Not that exact brand but I'm using a charcoal soap now. It's actually called Mudslide soap but the content is charcoal. Activated charcoal is very popular here because of its anti-oxidant properties.

Actually, I received a free bar in a beauty bag, but haven't even tried it. I don't know the name, nor have I smelled it.

Charcoal has health benefits - and I read that it could be an antidote to poisioning. but the tomato combination seems a bit weird.

No, we have not tried it, but have taken charcoal tablets. Let us know if you see any great changes. Usually, drinking plenty of water and eating correctly will help the skin.
