Activated Charcoal Facial Cleanser

Activated charcoal is a great natural remedy for ridding the body of toxins.  It can be taken orally also to remove toxins like booze from your tummy, turn it into a paste and use it to help whiten your teeth and so much more.

It is incredibly porous and works by pulling molecules, atoms and ions towards its surface and sticking to it. This process is called adsorption; not to be confused with absorption.

For the skin, activated charcoal seduces all the nasty bacteria and toxins away from the skin, holding tight onto them until washed away. The result – a clean, clear, bright complexion.

INGREDIENTS:

1 part Powdered Activated Charcoal (not the tablets)
1 part Witch hazel
1 part Pure Aloe Vera gel
3 drops Tea Tree Oil

DIRECTIONS:

Each ingredient is mixed in equal parts so you can make bigger or smaller batches depending on how you like it. In a little bowl, mix together all of your ingredients until thoroughly blended.

You will notice that the activated charcoal tends to separate from the other ingredients, but I’ll share a quick fix for that in a minute.

To use:  Splashing face and neck with water.  Give cleanser a good stir/shake then scoop a quarter-sized amount up and rub it between your fingers.  Rub the cleanser all over your face and gently massage it into areas where you experience regular breakouts and black heads. Do this for at least 1 minute.  Rinse and pat your face dry with a clean towel.  Apply your favourite moisturizer.
