Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the activated charcoal powder with fresh lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until you get a creamy mixture. If the mix is too thick, add a little water until it reaches the thickness you want.
Put on the mask: Spread the mixture evenly on your face, but avoid the area around your eyes. Use your fingers or a brush to apply the mask on your skin.
Keep the mask on your face for 10-15 minutes. You might feel a little tingling feeling from the lemon juice, and that's normal.
Wash off: After 10-15 minutes, rinse the mask with warm water. Dry your face with a clean towel by patting it.
Apply a light moisturizer after using charcoal and lemon to keep your skin hydrated, as they can dry out the skin.
Outcome: This mask cleanses the skin thoroughly, reduces oiliness, and makes the complexion brighter. It can also reduce the size of pores and help with acne.
2. Toothpaste for Whiter Teeth
List of ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon of activated charcoal powder
A couple of drops of new lemon juice
Directions:
Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the activated charcoal powder with a few drops of fresh lemon juice until it becomes a thick paste.
Put toothpaste on your teeth using a toothbrush. Brush your teeth softly for 1-2 minutes, making sure not to brush too hard to prevent harming the outer layer of your teeth.
Rinse well: Use water to rinse your mouth completely and remove all of the charcoal and lemon mix.
Use your regular toothpaste after brushing with charcoal to make sure all the charcoal is gone.
Outcome: This product can make teeth whiter by getting rid of stains on the surface and plaque. It is important to use it only once a week to prevent harming tooth enamel because of the lemon juice's acidity.
More Advice
Patch Test: Before applying the charcoal and lemon mask or paste, test a small area of your skin to make sure you won't have an allergic reaction or irritation.
Use in moderation: Activated charcoal and lemon are strong ingredients, so only use these treatments once or twice a week to prevent skin or teeth from becoming too dry or irritated.
If your skin is sensitive or dry, try using less lemon juice or using water instead to prevent irritation.
