Hi girlies, I’m getting really excited about sharing this face mask because I am addicted to detoxing my skin recently.
And boy-oh-boy, it works wonderfully – personal story time below!
After fighting stubborn blackheads for years, I finally tried the DIY charcoal mask last week.
The simple mix of activated charcoal, bentonite clay, honey and oil (For some reason I just don’t think this ingredient list would work lol).
Application was messy, but that cooling sensation as it dried? Oddly satisfying.
The next morning, I was SHOCKED.
Those persistent blackheads around my nose? VANISHED lol like magic
Even my forehead texture had smoothed dramatically.
My roommate did a double-take at breakfast. “Did you get some procedure done?”
One week later, I’m still touching my impossibly smooth skin in disbelief. Sometimes the internet actually delivers.
Every time when I try out this mask, I feel like I reboot my skin to a new level. (Plus the pampering feeling)
It’s so soft and clean and somehow my skin tone is more even after doing this for 2 months.
So without further ado, let’s get started! – but remember save this pin first so you can always get back here for the list when you wanna level up your skin!
Charcoal face mask ingredients list <3
- 2 tsp. water
- 1 tsp. bentonite clay (Get it here.)
- 1 tsp. activated charcoal powder (Get it here – this one is Amazon choice <3)
- 1/2 tsp. raw honey
- 1 drop of Organic Jojoba oil <-
What is it good for?
Charcoal powder:
Activated charcoal powder is powerful in pulling out the dirt, chemicals and poisons of your skin. It can dirt out the pores and makes it less visible too!
Bentonite Clay:
Bentonite is effective in removing the oil and dirt from the skin and it is effective in treating acne as well!
Honey:
Raw Honey helps balance the bacteria on your skin and it is known to healing the acne and calming inflammation.
Honey also speeds up the skin cells’ healing processes and that is truly amazing for glowing skin!
Jojoba oil:
Jojoba oil is packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids to moisturize skin.
With the anti-inflammatory and healing properties, jojoba oil is wonderful in addressing the dryness, flaking, itching of the skin as well!
Steps for DIY:
Step 1: Mix charcoal powder, bentonite clay, honey, jojoba oil and water together in a big bowl
Step 2: Apply to your face for around 10-15 minutes
Step 3: Continue with your daily routine and you should have a smooth skin free of impruities!
Reminder:
15 minutes are more than enough!
Some girls (me included in the past) thought it will be more effective if I do the facial longer, but it can hurt your skin!
After all, charcoal is a cleaning substance and it shouldn’t stay for too long! Hope you guys love this stupid easy charcoal DIY mask!
