When your pores aren\u2019t clear, neither is your complexion. Activated charcoal when used in a face mask binds to and helps pull the dirt out of your pores, making them less visible. This leaves your face feeling fresh.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take care of oily skin<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you have oily skin this would help. Activated charcoal may be just the ingredient you need to balance things out. Used in a cleanser or mask, activated charcoal can pull the unwanted excess oils from your skin, leaving it smooth. You\u2019ll want to do this sparingly once or twice per week at the most so that you don\u2019t over-dry your skin. If you already have dry skin, best to steer clear of it for this use, as you don\u2019t want to dry it out even more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rid your hair of toxins<\/strong><br \/>\nActivated charcoal, when used on your hair, can pull out oil, dirt and toxins\u2019just like it does for your skin. You can find regular and dry shampoos that contain activated charcoal. If you have very light hair, you won\u2019t want to use the dry shampoo, as it may stain. In any case, try a test patch before using it on all of your hair at once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add volume to your hair<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When your hair feels weighted down it\u2019s usually not only a feeling. If you\u2019re carrying around enough dirt, your hair will start to sag and regular shampooing may not be getting it all out. Regular shampoos remove surface dirt, but activated charcoal will pull out even more. The other difference, and this is big, is that activated charcoal isn\u2019t going to leave the residue regular shampoos will, so your hair will feel lighter and have more volume.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remedy scalp conditions<\/strong><br \/>\nDandruff, redness, oily and itchy scalps may be relieved with activated charcoal. You can use it as a scalp treatment before you shampoo or can be mixed in with your shampoo. The activated charcoal will work on your scalp the way it does on your skin and hair: pulling out toxins and purifying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Putting charcoal in your hair and on your face might not seem glamorous, but it\u2019s proven to have many beauty benefits when used safely and properly.
