I’ve been really struggling with breakouts recently, it’s been really getting me down and quite honestly I have been willing to try anything to clear them up! I was kindly sent some products from the new T-Zone skincare range to see if they’d be any help. T-Zone are a very affordable brand who use natural ingredients like charcoal, bamboo, witch hazel, tea tree and grapefruit to fight breakouts. I’ve been using 3 products from their Charcoal & Bamboo range for around a month to give them a fair shot..
Charcoal & Bamboo Self Heating Mask*
I was really intrigued when I saw these masks were self heating. In my mind a mask that heats up will open your pores and be able to cleanse out all the excess oil and dirt every more than a normal mask so I was very much looking forward to trying this. My mum, sister and I decided to use these for a pamper night the other week and we really enjoyed using them. The mask is dark grey and has a very thick consistency which I was taken a back by, you get a very generous amount in each sachet though. You apply this to a dry face with dry hands then when it’s full spread out over your face, apply water and massage for around a minute. This activates the self heating property. You then leave the mask for another minute or two before washing it off. My face felt so soft and clean after using this, it was such a great treat, I can’t wait to use more of these. These cost £4.99 for a pack of 4 masks and you could probably get two uses out of each sachet. I think these are great when you’re having a real problem skin day or just looking to give your skin a really deep clean.
Charcoal & Bamboo No Shine Papers*
I don’t tend to get oily due to my Sahara desert like skin so my sister’s been trying these out for me. You get 50 sheets for only £2.99 so they’re excellent value, they’re also really compact so great for popping in to your handbag or pocket. You dab the paper around your T-Zone and any other oily areas and the papers which are enriched with charcoal and bamboo soak up all the extra oil without ruining your makeup! My sister’s been so impressed with them and she thinks they make her makeup look flawless for much longer.
Charcoal & Bamboo Deep Cleansing Face Scrub*
I’m not normally a fan of face scrubs as they’re harsh and tend not to agree with my sensitive skin so I was very apprehensive about trying this. Unbelievably though it’s turned out to be my favourite product from the range! I absolutely adore how this smells! It’s so lovely and fresh. As you can see from the photo this scrub is grey in colour with little black specks. The black bits are actually little bits of charcoal so this scrub is free from those dreaded micro beads! It’s surprisingly gentle but at the same time throughly cleans your skin. I’ve been using this twice a week for the past few weeks and it hasn’t irritated my sensitive skin at all. It makes my face so soft and it looks really clean afterwards. I think I’ve found my new favourite face scrub! This costs only £2.99 and is well worth getting!
I used to love T-Zone! I might have to give the Charcoal scrub a try!

I’ve never tried anything from T-Zone. But these products are so damn affordable, so maybe I should give them a go! x

I’ve never tried anything from this brand before, even though I’ve seen it a few times. It’s quite affordable, so if I see anything from this line I’m gonna pick it up 🙂
Beauty On A Budget
You definitely should try and pick something up, the scrub is amazing, so gentle and so freshly scented!

I used to use their spot gel but since I’m pretty clear now I don’t tend to need their products. But this range does look really nice 🙂

I have been loving T-Zone recently. I bought the cleansing scrub once I saw loads of bloggers receiving from the brand. I wanted to try out something new as nothing ever works for my skin. A self-heating mask has never done well for me in the past but I do want to try their other stuff.

I’ve been seeing charcoal everywhere, and it sounds like a miracle worker! I hadn’t realized how well it would work in a scrub, either. Mocribeads are the WORST so I’d love to give that scrub a try!

I’m absolutely loving products with charcoal in it at the moment! I’ve not tried skin care stuff but I’m using ecodenta tooth paste and it’s working amazingly 💖🍵
I love charcoal products, I always find that they actually work! The scrub looks really good, I love a facial scrub!

The face scrub is my favourite, I’ll definitely be stocking up when this tube is finished!

Oh my god this range looks absolutely brilliant – I really love the T-Zone tea tree oil set and they’ve always worked wonders for me. This set had beautiful packaging too x

I have to admit it’s ages since I’ve tried anything by T-Zone but when I was in Superdrug recently I was thinking about getting some of the charcoal face wipes, I think I shall go back for them.
A friend tried the face wipes and she really loved them so you should definitely go back and pick them up!

I’ve never used T-Zone, I think I’ll give it a try when my current products run out. I love using charcoal based products so I’m keen to try these x
I know all too well about break outs! I’ve actually never heard of them before but the products sound pretty good, esp the self heating quality. I might look into them!

The self heating masks are the best invention! I feel like they give such a deep clean!

I’ve been working on my skincare routine as well, just went to target and got some face wash that I really liked 😊 These products sound amazing though, glad they’re working for you
Would love this brand! not sure if I can get my hands on it since I’m in the US, The no shine papers would be a lifesaver on my oily skin!

Interesting post. I haven’t tried this range before either but I’m very tempted by the self-heating masks after reading your review, thank you!

Omg how is this so cheap?! Definitely going to have to look into it because I am always suffering either huge or small breakouts!
Much love xx

I never put anything on my face and I have heard quite some negative feedback about charcoal skincare product… but I am glad they are working for you and might give them a go in the end
This sounds like something I need right now as my skin is not acting very well. Thank you for sharing! x

My skin is terrible at the moment so I’m desperate for anything that might help. Been wanting to try some products including charcoal for ages 🙂 xxx

These all sound so fab – I think I’m in need of a charcoal scrub soon! ☺️
I love self heating masks and need to try the t-zone one the next time i am in superdrug.

Think I might need to get myself some of those no shine papers! They sound great. So reasonably priced too.
Love the sound of these especially the self-heating masks! Lovely review and beautiful photos!

I haven’t tried anything from this brand before but I do love charcoal products! These all sound amazing especially that self-heating mask!
How does the self heating thing work? Does it actually feel warm?
I like the sound of the heating mask it sounds very interesting! ☺️
I use the T Zone pore strips. I will definitely look out for the face scrub, this is something I need!
I don’t know why but I’ve been so hesitant to try anything charcoal. I shouldn’t. I hear such great things about it but I really do think these reviews sold me. I’ve also never heard of self-heating masks before. They sound fabulous – like you don’t have have to pay spa prices anymore to be pampered.
Nice reviews – short, sweet, and to the point.
Loved it.
I need a new scrub and I adore the idea of a charcoal one! I definitely need to check out T Zone x

I never tried Tzone, but now I’m curious
I have always been interested in trying charcoal skincare, I would definitely be interested in trying these out.

OMG I was so excited to see this post, i’ve wanted to try this range for ages!
This whole range looks so good I really want to try it out. Especially those self heating masks! Sounds amazing. Clare xx
Seen so many bloggers raving about this! I really need to try it out! ✨
I have never tried any of these products before but, I think I may have to after this post. They sound amazing! Your photography is amazing by the way! X
My skin gets quite a few blackheads so I’d love to try some charcoal-based skincare and this range looks really reasonably priced. I’d love to try some of the charcoal-based teeth whitening stuff too!
My skin right now is just a joke! Nothing I seem to try works so maybe this is the miracle I’ve been searching for! I shall give this a try! <3
I hope i works for you! Maybe check out Kiehls Blue Herbal Cleanser too, it’s amazing for breakouts!

I’ve always wanted to try some kind of charcoal based product for my skin as It’s apparently really good! So I think I may try the scrub as the price is right for a trial 🙂 thank for sharing!
