Activated charcoal Uses

Hi guys...

Hope you all are doing well ❤️

This blog is on the magical ingredient that is Activated Charcoal powder. I discovered this magical ingredient and have used in couple of DIY's to ease the day to day problems. So it's uses will be shared below.

What is Activated Charcoal?

This is also called Coconut shell Charcoal.
Burned without oxygen to create char. True activated charcoal is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic.I have been using the Health vit Activated Charcoal powder and I got this online from Nykaa.com.

Benefits :

1.  Oral Care : When used in toothpastes, powders, and oral health rinses, it can bind to bacteria and other harmful substances and remove them from the mouth. Many people like using it in this way because it also binds to substances that stain the teeth and can whiten the teeth in only a few uses. So, Add a pinch of it in a toothpaste every alternate days and you'll get whitened teeth in no time.

2. As a Face mask : I love using it in face masks. I have shared a easy peasy Face mask in my previous blog. You can check that out.

3. Face Cleanser : Fair warning, it looks a little bizarre to paint this stuff all over your face, but it does wash off and leaves skin super soft!
Mix 1/2 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder into a face wash and scrub skin gently. Rinse well and pat dry.

4. In shampoo : Charcoal has been showing up in shampoos for the same reason people love it in facial products. It removes build up and impurities. The easiest way to try this is to add a tiny amount (1/2 teaspoon) to shampoo before washing hair. Scrub gently and wash out.

Is Activated Charcoal safe ? :

As with any substance, you should always check with a doctor or medical professional before internal use, especially in an emergency or life-threatening situation or if there is any other underlying health problem.

Remember, activated charcoal is NOT the same thing as the ashes from burning wood or other fires at home, so please don’t try to use those type of ashes for these or any other uses!

I also don’t recommend activated charcoal-infused food or drinks. Charcoal can bind to the nutrients in food or drinks, making these less nourishing rather than enhancing them.

So include this magical ingredient in your day to day use and enjoy its benefits.
