Benefits of Activated Charcoal

  1. Activated charcoal is an excellent absorbent. It is made by heating the charcoal to high temperatures and oxidising the carbon inside it. This process makes the charcoal to absorb and cling to any thing that comes in contact with. Activated carbon soap pulls in dust and dirt from the skin and you can wash it away easily.
  2. Activated charcoal soap is a natural scrub. Its coarse nature makes it a brilliant exfoliant and it can remove the dead cells sticking to your skin, bringing out your new and fresh skin.
  3. It helps control acne, blackheads, eczema, blemishes, psoriasis and other skin problems. The sebum secreted by the sebaceous glands under the skin is responsible for moisturising your skin. If the skin is constantly exposed to dirt and smoke, the sebum secretion increases along with sweat production.

    This combination of sweat and oils hold on the dust and gives your that awful look. Activated charcoal soaps helps you clean the dust, sweat and excess sebum in the skin and give you a fresh skin.
  4. The most important advantage of activated charcoal soap is that it is suitable for any skin type. Be it oily or dry you can use it like your regular soap and even more, it takes only a less amount than your regular soap to clean up.

Does Activated Charcoal Make Hair Look Black?

Activated Carbon Hair Mask

Activated charcoal hair mask is the latest in line of products that use this revolutionary substance as their primary ingredient. We have activated charcoal soaps, face masks, face wash, tooth paste and so on.
The reason it’s gaining popularity is because of its unique set of properties.

Activated charcoal is basically charcoal that’s derived from wood, coal or peat and then heated to very high temperatures. This oxidises the carbon inside the substance and makes them more “active”.

Activated Charcoal powder

The substance becomes more potent when it comes to cleaning your body. A little amount of this substance added with your regular body care products can do wonders for your beauty maintenance.

The hair mask in general is totally different from your regular conditioners in the sense that it is denser than them and its ingredients are more concentrated.

Benefits of Activated Charcoal Hair Mask

The activated charcoal hair mask is even better than regular hair masks, wherein it provides the following benefits to your hair.

  1. It helps remove toxins from your hair. Since activated charcoal is a highly absorptive substance, it collects the dust, smoke and soot that settle on your hair and clings on to them until being washed away
  2. Activated charcoal is an exfoliant by nature, and it can act as a scrub to remove dead skin cells, giving room for your scalp to breathe.

  3. Activated charcoal deep cleanses the pores in the skin and absorbs the excess sebum, the secretion on the scalp that moisturizes your skin. The sticky oil that you feel when you caress your hair, yes.

    When secreted in excess it flows down your face and you know it feels disturbing. Activated charcoal hair mask can help you control this problem.

  4. Activated charcoal is very helpful when you need to control or get rid of hair related problems like dandruff, hair breakage, thinning and/or other skin problems like acne, blemishes, etc. The scrubby charcoal takes care of it all.

  5. Activated charcoal hair masks are suitable for use for all hair textures. You don’t need to check up the container or with your dermatologist if it suits your hair or not.

Can You Use Active Carbon Face Mask Daily?

Activated charcoal has gained momentum in the beauty industry in recent times. We have a range of products that are made from this ingredient. Soaps, shampoos, scrubs, hair masks and so on. One product that the market has found its interest on lately is the activated carbon face mask.

apply-activated-carbon-face-mask

A regular face mask works by infusing the ingredients into your skin and the pores in them. They also hydrate your skin, and help remove excess oils.

Now, what if we use activated carbon on this product and how could be the results?

The answer depends on the properties of activated charcoal itself. The substance, activated charcoal is made up of oxidising wood or coal at high temperatures and making them highly active. Meaning, the substance becomes very absorptive since the ‘activation’ process strips the charcoal of previously absorbed molecules and frees up bonding sites around its molecules.

This process also increases the surface area within the substance thereby proving a lot of space for retention of absorbed materials.

Benefits of Activated Charcoal Face Mask

  1. It pulls out toxins from under your skin, very effectively. Like we saw before, activated charcoal is a highly absorptive substance, using a teaspoon full of the powder or a cream made out of it can yield wonderful results. And while using it as a face mask and relaxing while it works on your skin, you can actually feel the magic happening!

  2. It acts as an exfoliant. It absorbs the dead cells from your skin and you can wash it away. This gives way for new cell growth. And when you use it regularly, you can maintain that glow on your face, all week long.

  3. Activated Carbon Face Mask removes excess sebum from the skin and this helps in reducing the size of the pores on your face. Also, when your face is cleaned of the stuff that drags the skin down, your skin tightens up and you get a younger look.

  4. It actively removes oils, dust and soot that settle on the skin and retains them within itself. Using activated charcoal face mask after you wash your face with water can help you with freshening up in a few minutes.

Now, using an activated charcoal face mask having its own advantages over regular face masks, how often should you use it?

Activated Carbon Face Mask
  • It depends on your skin type whether you need to use it once a week or more than once. Generally, activated charcoal works on all types of skin. Working, here means it is effective on all types of skin. On how often you need to use it, you need to check for your needs.
  • If you have oily skin or you sweat a lot, you can use activated charcoal face mask two or three times a week. Because, once you remove the excess oils, your skin reacts by secreting more and more and it keeps going.

    You need sweat and oils to keep your skin hydrated and protect you from heat and pollution, but you don’t want them to keep sticking to your face.
  • If you have dry skin however, you can use it once a week, since you need more moisture on your face and activated charcoal can remove it quite fast.

    Using activated charcoal face masks too often, can leave you with a parched skin in this case. So, check the effects on your skin while using it. If it refreshes you, you are good to go and if you feel its effects wear off after a few days, you can put it on again.
  • If you have skin problems like blemishes, itches, pimples, acne, etc, you definitely need to use activated charcoal face mask, since it primarily helps in reducing these problems.

    The excess sebum is the root cause of all these effects and activated charcoal removes it quick and easy. Moreover, it helps in reducing acne scars, tightens up the pores and refurbishes your face.

    You can use it thrice a week if you have skin problems and you’ll find it really helpful.

How Often Should You Shampoo Your Hair?

When it comes to shampooing your hair, there’s no single answer on how often you should do it and what type of shampoo you should use. It filters down to your personal preferences and your hair type.

There are people who shampoo their hair almost every day and then there are people who don’t use shampoo at all.

dry damaged hair

For Oily Hair

On the other hand, if you have oily hair, you can shampoo regularly, since you don’t want any dust or soot from the air to get attracted by the oil and give you an itchy scalp.

For Unhealthy Hair with Dandruff

People with hair problems like dandruff, excessive hair loss, hair breakage, etc., should be careful while choosing their shampoo and also check if their regular shampoo actually works in solving the problem. There are cases where the shampoos don’t work and people go on using it, believing it works out on the long run.

If you do have any skin or scalp-based allergies, you must check up with a dermatologist if your shampoo doesn’t work and rule out the possibility that the condition is serious.

Now, taking all this in mind, what shampoo could best suit everyone and more specifically, you? The newest product that’s gaining momentum in hair care products is the activated charcoal shampoo. Regular shampoos use a load of chemicals that in the long run are harmful for your hair and scalp.

How Activated Carbon Shampoo Works

  • Shampoos absorb the oils in the scalp and produce lather, the foamy white mass of bubbles that rise up with every stroke on your head. This lather can be easily washed off. If you have an oily scalp or if you sweat a lot and find your scalp sticky all the time, you can use shampoo every day.
  • On the other hand, if you have a dry skin and apply hair oils regularly to moisturise the scalp, you could shampoo once or twice a week when your scalp gets itchy.
  • Pollution around us and the dust and smoke settling on the scalp can cause the skin to secrete sweat and oils. If you find yourself constantly exposed to outside air you could choose a shampoo that you can use almost every day, to keep your hair clean and healthy.
  • In case, if you have other hair related problems like dandruff, you could use shampoo regularly since dandruff is formed when a fungus feeds on the excess oil in the scalp and the oil is not properly removed regularly.
  • If you use hair style products like creams and sprays, you need to make sure they don’t settle on you scalp and cause itching. In this case you can limit the use of such products and use shampoo regularly until you stop using them.

Benefits of Activated Charcoal Shampoo

Activated charcoal products are in general good for body care. When it comes to activated charcoal shampoo, you can feel the following benefits on regular use. Try our activated carbon hair mask for removing dandruff and other dirt.

  • Activated charcoal is made using charcoal derived from wood, peat or coal and then heating it to activate the carbon in it. This process converts the charcoal into a highly absorbent material that can absorb and hold on to dust and oil very firmly until it is washed away.
  • Also, the activated charcoal has a large surface area, meaning it can absorb hundreds of times its mass when used. So, a little amount of activated charcoal shampoo can help clean your hair in a short time than your regular shampoo.
  • One added advantage of activated charcoal shampoo is that it is a natural scrub and can gently wash of dead skin cells on the scalp giving it a clean & fresh feel.
  • Activated charcoal shampoo also helps in dandruff control and elimination. The absorbent property of activated charcoal helps in flushing out excess sebum and gives no room for growth of fungus and flaking.
  • Using onion hair oil along with activated charcoal shampoo gives a combined benefit of nourishing your hair and washing the toxins from your scalp. Onion hair oil is an excellent product that’s time and again tested for hair growth, hair loss prevention and hair care.

  • Above all these, activated charcoal shampoo is suitable for all types of hair and you don’t need to worry thinking if it works on you or not.

It is milder than regular soaps in the sense soaps dry out your skin a lot more than face wash’. Also, face wash products are well suited if you have oily skin, since they give you a matted look.

activated carbon face wash and face mask combo

A regular face wash product helps remove dust, debris and soot settled deeply on the face and also cleanses the pores.

In recent times however, a better face wash product has been developed. A face wash that uses the advantages of activated carbon to fresh up your face even more efficiently. Activated carbon is the result of heating charcoal derived from coal, peat or wood. The carbon in charcoal gets oxidised and it becomes a super absorbent material.

Activated Carbon Face Wash Benefits

What To Do When You Have Pimples on Your Face?

Pimples and acne spoil the beauty of your face. While men find a minimal presence of pimples on the face to be appealing, most women do not feel the same way.

Pimples – What, How & Why

Among many reasons, hormone changes in the body leads to acne and pimples to pop up on the skin. Both acne and pimples are related skin problems but they are not the same. The difference between acne and pimples is that acne is a disease and pimples are one of its symptoms. Acne is a condition that affects the skin’s hair follicles and oil glands.

The pores under the skin are connected to glands that make an oily substance known as sebum. The glands and pores are connected by a canal known as a follicle that has a thin hair that grows out to the skin’s surface. When sebum and dead skin cells clump together, they plug the follicle. When bacteria infect this area, they cause inflammation, leading to pimples in acne. So, treating acne will help avoid formation of pimples over the skin.

acne

Acne is hereditary and it becomes unavoidable to children whose parents faced the same problem in their youth. Besides that, there are other reasons why acne surfaces on the skin,

  • Hormonal changes – Pimples and Acne are particularly common during puberty because hormone levels fluctuate significantly during this period.
  • Improper Hygiene – Oily deposits on the forehead can accumulate on the skin if the face and hair are not properly washed from time to time. This can lead to blockages that prompt acne.
  • Cosmetic products – Some cosmetics and skincare products clog the pores and this to breakouts of acne.
  • Medication – Medicines sometimes can cause acne as a side effect since they lead to secretion of hormones inside the body. The excess hormones can cause acne and pimples.

There are several treatments available for acne reduction and elimination. Among them the most common method is to go for natural remedies like using turmeric, aloe vera, apple cider vinegar etc directly or by mixing them with regular soaps. But sometimes it becomes tedious to keep up with the routine, because every time they have to be used the ingredients must be fresh and available.

Even if we manage to get our hands on those ingredients the time to whip up the concoction and using it can be so long that people get fed up with them.

What if there is a product that is all natural, that treats pimples and acne and it is available like a regular cosmetic product? The answer is Turmeric soap. Turmeric, as it is widely known is a natural anti-septic and it is also anti-inflammatory. It’s been in use for centuries and the modern world has recently re-discovered its wonderful properties and putting it to good use.

With numerous brands coming up with various soaps with flavours and fragrances, the efficacy of their products can only be tested after using them for a considerable period of time. But what if we don’t get our desired results?

Like, if we want a soap to treat oily skin or pores or even dry skin and it doesn’t work well, we change the brand obviously. If even that doesn’t work, how many soaps do we have to test before we find that one brand that can be trusted?

Treating skin with utmost care is essential these days and soaps are the quick and easy solution for that. Using regular soaps, which are usually soft in terms of chemical composition, has its own advantages and disadvantages.

The fragrance and the silky smoothness they give off is one thing but regular soaps don’t work well on hard water. The calcium and magnesium ions in hard water result in formation of flakes which stick to the skin and give off an awful look once they dry.

Here’s where activated carbon soap come in. Unlike regular soaps, the main ingredient of activated charcoal soaps is charcoal activated by an oxidising process. The charcoal is made up of wood or peat and it is then steam treated to activate the carbon inside it. this acts as a natural scrubbing agent.

Benefits of Activated charcoal soaps

Activated charcoal soaps have a unique set of advantages over regular soaps and here’s a list of them,

  1. It is an oil cleanser – Regular soaps react with oil and loosens its grip on the skin. But, if the soap is not applied enough or it’s a quick bath you want, there’s still a chance for you to be oily when you leave the shower. Activated charcoal however quickly absorbs and draws out the oil from the skin and gets washed away with it.

  2. It is an excellent exfoliant – The skin cells regularly die off giving way to newer and younger cells to replace them. These dead cells need to be washed away from the skin otherwise they may accumulate and lead to several skin diseases. Activated charcoal soaps can scrub them off from the skin and give a smooth silky skin.

  3. It is perfect for any skin type – Some soaps may prove allergic to a few people. They may lead to reactions like coagulation of mucus below the skin which leads to lumps or itchy skin. Activated charcoal soaps however don’t result in those problems. They can be used by anyone and especially people with sensitive skin.


  4. It can treat acne effectively – Acne occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples. It is most common among teenagers, although it affects people of all ages. Activated charcoal soaps are very effective against acne since they scrub off the oil and dirt with ease. Regular use will result in amazing results.

  5. It tightens the skin – Ageing can gradually loosen up the skin and makes people’s skin look like it’s hanging off the bones. Regular use of activated charcoal soap helps with this as it can tighten up the skin and make it firmer. Also, it can help with premature ageing by removing wrinkles in the skin and the lines below the eyes.

  6. It clears various types of blemishes on the skin – Hyperpigmentation, papules and pustules are common problems faced by many. Hyperpigmentation makes skin appear darker than other areas of the skin, while papules and pustules are a result of accumulation of oils, dead skin cells and dirt on the skin. Since activated charcoal soap is both a scrubber and an absorbent, it helps in keeping the skin clean and problem free.

  7. It reduces pore size – pores release oil and sweat to keep the skin cool. The volume of the secretions depends on the environment people live in. With increased pollution and heat the pores constantly keep the skin lubricated by secreting more and more oil and sweat. Also, the dust settling over the pores may make them appear bigger. Activated charcoal soap being effective in oil and dust cleansing can relax the pores and soothe them.
