Ancient Egyptians Used This
Cleopatra lined her eyes with charcoal! Activated charcoal has been used around the world in beauty products, for cleansing and teeth whitening. In modern medicine it's used in the ER to treat drug overdoses and poisoning by attaching to toxins and preventing their absorption. It attracts to and binds to toxins, bacteria, dirt, and oil preventing them from causing harm.
Activated charcoal is derived from wood or coconut husks and then treated to increase its ability to bind to toxins. It's available in several forms: powder, capsules, soaps, and toothpaste.
*Note: If you take it internally be sure to drink plenty of water because it can cause dehydration.
3 Ways I Use Activated Charcoal:
Teeth Whitener- I use the powder and mix it with my natural toothpaste to help with stains and fight bad breath! (What I use)
Facial Soap- I like to use Pacha Tree Tree and Charcoal Facial Bar which helps to purify the skin, draw out toxins, and and balances out oily skin.
Internal Detox- Activated charcoal can improve digestive function and immunity by helping to remove heavy metals and toxins that cause allergic reactions and oxidative damage, as well as viruses and parasites. (What brand I recommend)
