No, you aren’t really using coal to wash your face… you are using powdered charcoal and I only wish that I had tried it sooner. Actually, I have had the soap laying in my “to try” bin for a couple of years. We were in Banff, Alberta a few years ago and I discovered a Lush shop. I met the most amazing sales clerk and when I told her that I wanted to buy little bits and pieces to do product reviews, she went nuts, slicing off little bits of solid shampoos, facial bars and even little scrubs that she spooned into plastic tubs. Lets just say that I did quite well that day. One of the products was the Coal Face complexion bar.

First of all, I should point out that it’s for oily skin… which I still have. The first thing that I waited for was my skin to begin to tighten. It didn’t happen, but it did absorb a whole lot of oil. That shine was instantly gone. That’s not saying that I didn’t apply moisturizer though. It’s become a habit so I applied a tiny bit of Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion which is becoming a must for every inch of me these days.

And for you guys out there, there is nothing girly about this cleanser at all. There is supposedly a licorice scent, but my allergies must be preventing me from smelling it… I smelled nothing. So there you go… my product review for today!!
