Treat Yourself To A Charcoal Mask

Why not treat yourself to a charcoal mask?  You won't be sorry.  It really cleans the skin.

How Does A Charcoal Mask Work

Well, charcoal, when you activate it (or you can buy readily made activated charcoal) has more surface area  and becomes more porous upon activation through high temperatures and therefore acts as a "soaker upper".  It soaks up all impurities and dirt (due to its bigger surface area and the fact that it's porous)  You can buy  a mask with activated charcoal on them, already made, but you can also make your own at home

Recipe And Instructions for Activated Charcoal Mask

• 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay
• 1 teaspoon of activated charcoal
• 1 or 2 drops of essential oil of your choice
• 1 tablespoon of water
• Mix all together in a small bowl. 
• Before you use the mask, make sure your face is clean.
• Then with your finger tips apply to your face, avoiding the eyes and massage gently until all the face is covered. 
• Leave on for 15 minutes 
• Wash off with warm water and dry your face completely

Benefits of Activate Charcoal Face Mask

The benefits are plenty.  Besides cleaning your face real good and taking all the dirt and grime away, it also absorbs toxins and brings them away too.  So a clean face means you're less likely to get spots and whatnots!  It can be great for taking away excess oils in the skin and dead skin too.  

Precautions For Using Activated Charcoal Face Mask

• Don't over do it.  Two or three times a month is plenty
• Maybe do an allergy test first on the inside of the wrist to make sure you're not allergic to it
• As stated before avoid the eyes
