Hi, I am Cheree of Natural & Frugal: Raising 6 kids, and I am here today to tell you about one of my favorite face masks that I make myself using Charcoal House's Topical First Aid Hardwood Activated Charcoal Powder. After I have done a charcoal facial, I remember why I love doing it so, as my skin not only feels incredibly clean, but it looks amazing and feels so soft.

Simple charcoal facial mask recipe:

  • 1 1/2 tbsp of Topical Hardwood Activated Charcoal Powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp of water (more or less)
  • Coconut oil (or any pure oil)
Directions:
  • Step 1: Add the charcoal powder to a bowl & slowly add the water until the consistency of pudding, you may need to add facial maskmore or less than 1 and a 1/2 tsp of water.
  • Step 2: Apply a thin layer of oil on face (I like coconut oil.) Using your fingers, gently apply the mask evenly onto the face. I prefer my mask to be thick, the more charcoal the better. If you prefer not to get charcoal on your fingers, use cotton balls.
  • Step 3: Leave on for 20 - 30 minutes, the longer you leave it on, the more it adsorbs. If you leave on longer than 30 minutes, you will want to mist with water to keep the mask moist and free from cracking.
  • Step 4: To remove the mask, gently remove charcoal paste with a paper towel and then wash the rest off with warm soapy water.
  • Step 5: Follow with your favorite facial moisturizer.
  • Other: I usually do the mask before I shower and wash it off as soon as I get in. If the charcoal is not coming off with soapy water, adding a little baking soda will usually do the trick.

Options:

  • You can add several of these items below to the mask by adjusting water and charcoal powder accordingly. For example, add less charcoal if adding dry ingredients, and follow directions above.
(Referral links below) Make sure you protect clothing or counters when using activated charcoal. This is because charcoal is black and messy. If you do get it on anything try using warm water, baking soda, and dish soap in a scrubbing paste to get it out, you can also add baking soda to your laundry load.
