DIY Activated Charcoal Detox Mask
There’s something deeply satisfying about creating your own skincare products. You know exactly what’s inside and can be confident that the ingredients are just as good for the environment as they are for your body. No harsh chemicals, toxins, or unnecessary junk.
Made with food-grade bentonite clay, activated charcoal, apple cider vinegar, and distilled water, this Activated Charcoal Detox Mask is a great way to draw out impurities and help your skin reset. Use once a week or whenever you feel your skin needs a deep cleansing!
Ingredient Benefits
- Bentonite Clay: This mineral-rich clay acts like a sponge for toxins. When activated with liquid, it carries a negative charge that helps attract and bind to positively charged toxins, heavy metals, and impurities. It also helps tighten pores and promote a clearer complexion without over-drying.
- Activated Charcoal Powder: Charcoal is incredibly porous and known for its ability to trap toxins and chemicals. It dives deep into pores to absorb oil, dirt, and buildup, making it especially helpful for acne-prone or oily skin types.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: Beyond balancing the skin’s pH, apple cider vinegar (ACV) has gentle antibacterial properties that can help reduce blemishes. It also helps break down the clay and charcoal mixture into a smooth paste while mildly exfoliating the skin. Always opt for raw, unfiltered ACV with the “mother” for the most benefits.
What You’ll Need
- 1 capsule of Global Healing Ozonated Activated Charcoal
- 1 tbsp distilled water
