DIY Charcoal Mask
Ingredients
- 1 tbs prepared coffee – I made a cup of coffee and took a tablespoon of the coffee out then drank the rest.
- 1/2 tbs bentonite clay
- 1/2 tsp activated charcoal
- 1/4 tsp vitamin E
- 1/2 tsp jojoba oil apricot oil, avocado oil, or sweet almond oil
- 2 drops essential oils like tea tree, lavender, etc.
Instructions
- Mix ingredients together in a non-metal bowl.
- Starting with a clean face, apply warm water, followed by the mask. Don’t put it near your eyes or on your eyelids.
- Allow to completely dry, about 20-30 minutes.
- Rinse with warm water. *This is usually when I start to panic because activated charcoal is difficult to remove. I recommend doing this in the shower. But don’t worry!
- Once most of it is removed, use a scrub like the one above and gently exfoliate your face. Rinse with water again and wipe with towel. You may need to scrub one more time and wipe.
- Follow up with toner and your favorite moisturizer.
