Perhaps this year you were more naughty than nice. Well fret not! And though you may be anticipating a stocking full of coal, it turns out that the dark, ashy rock is great for your complexion. Not only does it reduce inflammation and normalize skin cell turnover, it also absorbs excess oils and acts as a natural exfoliator.
According to Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center, coal is a type of resin that’s been used as a dermatological treatment for over 2,000 years.
