Charcoal for beauty

Health

Charcoal has a high level of carbon, which gives it its binding properties. Carbon molecules have a large surface and so are great at binding with other substances. This cleanses the body of toxins and harmful substances.  
Charcoal can provide quick help for gastrointestinal tract problems that involve sickness and diarrhoea, such as food poisoning. Bacteria and harmful substances bind to the carbon and are removed from the body.
The detoxifying properties of charcoal also makes it popular for detoxes. But make sure that you don’t use it for longer than a week. It might also reduce the effectiveness of other medications, so it is best to consult a doctor before using it.  

Beauty

Charcoal can improve your general complexion. Carbon is particularly good at binding to grease and sebum, so it eliminates shine on greasy skin and gradually gets rid of spots.  It effectively cleanses the pores and so can treat acne effectively. Tip: A mask containing charcoal can be used once a week. 
Charcoal is also brilliant for tooth care. The binding properties of charcoal cleanses teeth of bacteria and tannin. The result: healthy and radiantly white teeth. Tip: Put a little charcoal powder onto your wet toothbrush and brush your teeth for 3-5 minutes. Rinse your mouth thoroughly and then brush again with normal toothpaste.  After only a few uses your teeth will look whiter.
