This is a must-have in every household. Not only for beauty purposes but also as a health booster. Activated charcoal helps detoxify the body through a process called adsorption. This is where the toxin molecules particles attach themselves to the surface of the charcoal and the toxins are eliminated via washing off the charcoal, or in the case of toxins in the body, they are excreted through poop. This makes activated charcoal a very important item to have in our household.
How to use:
- For beauty: Make a face mask, you can mix it up with Liwa powder or bentonite clay or mix it with honey. It makes a good mask and deep cleanser.
- For health: Add a teaspoon in a glass of water and drink (you can decide to be detoxing twice a week). It can also be taken whenever one experiences stomach upsets, gas problems, acidity, etc.
- Can be used to whiten teeth. Sprinkle a little in your toothbrush.
