When it’s time to remove your makeup or, if you’re a fresh-faced reader, just wash up, the last thing you’d probably imagine using to cleanse is charcoal. A little bit of carbon has a lot of detoxifying and cleansing properties, though, especially the Binchotan charcoal Morihata uses in its line of body scrub towels ($16.99), facial puffs ($17.99) and pumice stones ($14.99, all at Jacob & Sebastian, 622 Queen West, 647-345-0478, jacobandsebastian.com). The made-in-Japan bathroom accessories also help with odour and oiliness.
