I am crazy for Chracoal based products. Currently I am using Charcoal face wash & Charcoal face mask from brand Mama Earth. You can read review of both the products on my blog. I also keep doing DIY so last Sunday I decided to make Charcoal face mask at home. No doubt it is not my unique idea but I came up with easiest way of making Charcoal Face Mask at home 🙂
But before that you should know the benefits of using Charcoal Face Mask:
Activated charcoal absorbs the excess oil from the skin, thus unclogging the pores in turn.
It maintains the pH levels of the skin.
It helps to remove dirt, grime and dead skin cells from the deeper layers of the skin.
It helps to reduce the size of the skin pores.
It helps in dealing with signs of ageing by boosting blood circulation, enhancing collagen and elastin production.
You will need:
1 Activated Charcoal Capsule (Can be purchased from a chemist shop).
1-2 Tsp Aloe Vera Gel.
1 Small Bowl.
1 Applicator Brush.
Step By Step Process:
In a small bowl, empty the contents of one activated charcoal capsule.
Now add 1-2 tea spoon of Aloe Vera gel.
Don’t add a lot of Aloe Vera Gel but just enough to create a spreadable paste.
Mix both the ingredients with the help of a spoon or the applicator brush.
Now apply this face mask with the help of your fingers or brush, avoiding the areas around your eyes and mouth.
Now take a chill pill & allow it to dry 😉
Once it is dry, wash it off with normal water or luke warm water.
I find Charcoal face mask a bit drying for my skin so post wash I moisturize my face with my favorite moisturizer.
I hope you liked this super easy Face Mask and if you are going to try it, don’t forget to do a patch test 🙂
