Facial cleansing with activated carbon

About activated carbon, most of us know only that it is a very useful drug for poisoning and some intestinal problems. Black tablets in such cases are taken by mouth. It turns out that they can be applied externally - to clean the face with activated charcoal. What comes out of it, read below.

Indications for the procedure

Since black tablets are a medicine, facial cleansing with charcoal should be carried out taking into account the condition of the skin. [1]  Indications for the following:

• intense inflammation: rash, acne;
• to regulate fat secretion;
• for the prevention of dehydration and wilting;
• to reduce hormonal manifestations during puberty;
• to improve skin respiration and metabolism;
• for better absorption of cosmetic creams;
• for cleansing clogged pores;
• to increase the protective properties;
• running condition, clogged pores;
• abundance of black dots;
• fading;
• wrinkled, fuzzy facial contour.

Activated carbon is a substance with high adsorbing properties. Formed after processing of individual tree species, organic coke. Today, pharmacies sell a modified version of white, containing additives, including powdered sugar. The effects of the drugs are similar, but the white matter absorbs poisons and dirty discharges faster.

Preparation

Before face cleaning with activated carbon, proper organization of work and preparation of the skin is required. The procedure is planned so that within six hours after its completion does not appear in the open air. Freshly cleaned skin does not like it.

To begin with, long hair should be gathered with a rubber band, and the roots should be protected with a bandage made of natural moisture-absorbing fabric. Make up remover, prepare ingredients and tools (flat brush). If you have not bought it, then manipulate your fingers. Sequencing:

• An hour before the start of the test for individual sensitivity. If a typical reaction did not follow (itching, hyperemia, desquamation), continue preparation.
• Degrease the face with a tonic, then steam it with a bath of infusion of medicinal plants (chamomile, St. John's wort, sage).
• Wipe your face dry.
• Lubricate the eyelids, lips fat cream or petroleum jelly.
• Near the lips, masks are not applied in order not to stimulate the growth of unwanted vegetation.

When preparing, pay attention to some nuances. If it is not possible to purchase powder, then tablets or pressed coal must be crushed to a powder. You can do this: crush the drug on paper, for example, with a glass, then roll it to the smallest grains.

In the presence of a mortar, crush in a ceramic pot. Add ingredients according to the recipe and mix thoroughly, so that the mask evenly lay down and act on the dermis.

Technique of the charcoal cleaning

Impose a black mass on the entire face or locally, in places of concentration of acne (T-zone). If desired, you can smear the neck and décolleté area with activated charcoal with activated carbon. The technique of manipulation is simple, does not require special adaptations. It is enough to buy a flat wide brush and a good quality coal preparation.

• The procedure starts, making sure there is no intolerance, after a properly prepared manipulation field. The first layer is slightly driven in, the next one is applied on top.

Depending on the testimony, the mass is distributed everywhere or pointwise, in places where there is a rash or hyperactivity. But "everywhere" also has exceptions: it is the area of the lips, eyes. Exposure - up to 15 minutes, then thoroughly washed with water and saturate the epidermis with nourishing cream.

• Coal is used in cosmetology due to its high absorbency.

But the effect of the substance is not selective, that is, it absorbs from the skin not only superfluous, but also useful components. For the prevention of deficiency add the necessary ingredients to compensate for their lack.

Additional results can be obtained by taking the pills inside. The substance absorbs and removes toxins from the intestine, which most favorably affects the appearance and condition of the skin, especially the face. The daily dose calculated depending on the weight is swallowed three times before main meals.

Facial cleansing with activated carbon and gelatin

To clean the face with activated carbon and gelatin, a film mask is prepared. According to reviews, the miracle cure eliminates multiple small black dots, even in cases where other methods are powerless. It is easy to prepare for self-treatment.

For cleansing the face with activated carbon based on gelatin, one crushed tablet is enough. Fresh product is easy to crumble. Together with a spoon of gelatin powder is combined with 2 tsp. Cold milk or filtered water, stir well and put in the microwave for a few seconds (up to 15). In its absence - to the water bath. With milk, the mass is softer than with water. And in the complex action of all components is enhanced.

Action Ingredients:

• Gelatin is easily absorbed by skin cells, increasing turgor and elasticity, exfoliates unnecessary elements, refreshes the face.
• Activated carbon dries, tightens pores, dissolves cork contents, soothes inflammation.
• Milk whitens, rejuvenates, softens the aggressive action of other components and the surface of the skin.

The resulting mass is applied to problem areas of the face, making sure that it is not too hot. After 15 minutes everything dries up. The resulting film is carefully removed from the bottom up, that is, from the chin (if the mask is solid). Put it, by the way, in the same manner. Together with it the dirty contents of the pores are removed.

When preparing for the procedure, keep in mind the following:

1. Choose fresh foods.
2. Practice a preliminary allergy test on your wrist.
3. Do not apply the product around the eyes, so as not to damage the delicate skin.
4. Face as much as possible.
5. During the procedure, relax your muscles, do not talk and do not grimace.
6. After removing the film, lubricate the surface of the face with cream.

The multiplicity of film procedures - about once a week, the course - 6 weeks. Course repetition can be planned in a few months. A unique carbon-milk-gelatin mask becomes a favorite for all who have tried it on themselves at least once.

Face mask with activated charcoal

The task of facial cleansing with activated carbon is to release pores from oily contents that interfere with skin breathing. The remaining components are designed to soften the effect of coal and bring enhanced positive: soothe, moisten, nourish, rejuvenate the epidermal layer. To this end, face masks with activated carbon include gelatin, clay, ice, rose water, aromatic oils, lemons, cocoa powder, yogurt, milk, aloe.

Since the coal is made solid, it is ground to powder for each case.

• Added gelatin is considered the best way to eliminate black placers.
• If black coal is combined with the same clay, then the resulting mass can be easily cleaned deeply.
• The carbon ice cubes made in the freezer provide effective rejuvenation.
• The fragrant carbon-ether mass soothes the skin perfectly.
• Lemon-yoghurt composition with charcoal gently cleanses.
• The addition of aloe and sea salt relieves acne.

The classic recipe is simple: the powder is mixed with milk or water to the thickness, so as not to drain from the face. Wash off with water. The procedure takes a little time, and the effect exceeds all expectations. The only inconvenience is an unaesthetic appearance, but at home it is irrelevant.

Contraindications to the procedure

Tableted coal is a fairly neutral drug. Perhaps, therefore, facial cleansing with activated charcoal has few contraindications for treatment.

In addition to individual intolerance, the forbidden list includes purulent and ulcerative lesions, open lesions, bleeding, and infectious skin pathologies.

You can not make a coal mask with rosacea, severe dryness, allergies, after mechanical cleaning or surgical manipulation of the face.

Consequences after the procedure

With regular cleaning of the face with activated carbon, the face is cleared of comedones, it does not shine, the covering becomes even, smooth, healthy. Inflammations are reduced and go to "no."

To enhance the positive effects after the procedure, experts advise to use the drug not only for masks, but also inside. Porous tablets absorb and remove poisons from the gastrointestinal tract, clean the blood and lymph. The dosage depends on the mass of the person: 1 pc is needed for 10 kg. Swallow thrice daily before meals.

Complications after the procedure

Despite the fact that the coal preparation is non-aggressive, mild complications are possible after the procedure. But only if non-compliance with the rules of face cleansing with activated carbon.

In order to avoid the “earthy” skin tone, do not hold the black mass for longer than 15 minutes. Just in case, start a timer. White coal, of course, is not dangerous in this sense.

Dried mass of the skin must be brought back to normal, that is, saturate with moisture and give it plenty of nutrients. All this is provided by the rules of care after the procedure.

Care after the procedure

After each face cleansing with activated carbon, care is needed. After the procedure, the washed face is wiped dry and moisturized. Smeared cream should be absorbed before you need to leave the house.

Self cleaning done weekly for one and a half months and more. That is, at least 6 times. With a minimum of problems - once every 2 weeks. Repeat the course is allowed after a 2-month break.
