Hi, If you love organic and natural remedies, you’ve probably heard of activated charcoal by now. It is a hot ingredient in beauty and personal care products – and for a good reason! Because of its medicinal properties, it is also used for gastrointestinal conditions, other times for overdosing on drugs, and even for treating snake bites,

You see, when charcoal gets superheated it is activated. This is when it is highly porous and has medicinal properties. Activated charcoal has the incredible ability to trap toxins! It deep cleans by attracting impurities the skin, hair, teeth, and body. But most people are still not sure how many ways it is useful.

Here are a few amazing benefits of activated charcoal that we thought you’d be interested in:

1. Treats Acne

Have oily skin or acne? Activated charcoal is a fabulous way of maintaining oily skin and for treating acne. It simply pulls excess sebum from your skin and clarifies pores, leaving it squeaky clean and soft. The powder works by gently exfoliating your skin. Look for activated charcoal in a good anti-acne facial treatment mask, soap, or face wash with positive feedback or user reviews.

2. Unclogs Pores

Do the pores on your face look like big craters filled with soot or build-up? Face washes and gentle soaps containing charcoal after it is activated can easily remove blackheads or whiteheads by gentle exfoliation. They make pores smaller while conditioning your skin. Just be careful not to overuse just any soap with the charcoal because it may dry your skin out. Look for activated charcoal soaps from a premium brand, such as Aster Luxury, smell great and are gentle on skin.

3. Whitens Teeth

Have you tried activated charcoal oral care on your teeth yet? Just a tiny bit of it in your toothpaste goes a long way! If you drink tea, coffee or wine regularly then you probably need some to remove teeth stains. It easily and efficiently absorbs a lot of plaque and microbes, which cause discolouration in teeth. Plus you get oral health benefits at the same time. This miracle ingredient prevents cavities, bad breath, and gum diseases by changing the pH level in the mouth.

4. Deep Cleans Scalp and Hair

Have limp, greasy hair, or itchy scalp problems? Activated charcoal shampoos can instantly get rid of oily hair and dandruff by gently purifying the toxins from your scalp. You also get to add more volume to your hair by clarifying it with a shampoo containing activated charcoal. Choose a standard shampoo or even a dry shampoo spray containing this magic ingredient. Or, add some activated charcoal powder to your regular hair wash routine.

5. Cures Hangovers

Need a home remedy to cure your hangover? There are few home remedies that work but activated charcoal does the trick. Although it can’t directly absorb alcohol, activated charcoal powder absorbs the artificial sweeteners and toxins in alcohol, instead. About 500 mg of the miracle ingredient in a large glass of water, can help your liver get rid of toxins and other harmful substances from your body. This is why some people try drinking this potion half an hour before and after drinking alcohol.

Ask your doctor or a wellness expert before consuming activated charcoal capsules or powder, even though it is harmless in small doses. If you do take it as a digestive cleanse, remember to have plenty of water and a high-fiber diet to support it. Which of these activated charcoal benefits have you found useful and wonderful?

2. Comb wet hair with extreme care because they’re fragile and prone to breakage. Take a broad toothed comb and run it from the roots to the ends of your hair as gently as possible.

3. Trim your hair every few weeks to get rid of those brown and rough split ends. Cut about 1/4th an inch of your hair every 6 to 8 weeks to avoid the split ends to grow out again.

4. Don’t wash your hair everyday and whenever you do, apply some conditioner on the ends. Try and use the same brand of shampoo and conditioner.

5. Rinse the conditioner off with cold water as it is good for both strength and shine.

YOUTH GENIE BEARD OIL

As you may have already guessed, this is a type of oil you use in your beard to balance its hydration naturally. Washing regularly keeps the dirt at bay, but it also strips away some of your beard’s natural oil. As a result, beard oil was developed as a leave-in conditioning product designed to balance the natural oils in your beard and on your skin.

We don’t use any silicones, sulfates, or parabens in our oils to give you the best possible outcome for your beard. Silicones aren’t inherently bad, but they coat your beard hairs and prevent them from getting the nutrients they need, plus they require more effort and chemicals to wash out. On top of that, they mask dry hair and split ends so you only have the illusion of conditioned hair.

HOW TO APPLY BEARD OIL

Typically, you want to apply beard oil once a day right after you hop out of the shower. Putting oil on right after you’ve been in water might not sound right, but it actually is! If you take a warm shower, it’ll open up your pores and hair cells, which allows the oil to be absorbed more effectively than it would have otherwise. Just make sure to pat your beard down with a towel before applying it, as this works best with damp beards, not soaked ones.

Depending on the size of your beard, you may need to use a few more drops for major coverage. Huge beards may need 7 or 8 drops, whereas smaller ones may only need 3 or 4. Our 1oz (30ML) containers may seem like a small amount, but since you’re only using a few drops a day, it should last several months!
