I’ve been using a charcoal face mask once a week to manage my oily skin, but I’m curious if I should increase it to twice a week. What’s been your experience with frequency?
Twice a week can work well if your skin isn’t too sensitive! I’ve found that alternating with a hydrating mask helps balance things out—charcoal can be drying if overused. I bumped up to twice a week during summer when my skin was extra oily, but always listened to my skin’s cues. If it feels tight or irritated, scaling back is key. Experiment with timing too—keeping it on just the recommended duration prevents over-drying.
Twice a week’s solid if you’re not sensitive—just keep an eye on oil rebound!
