You might be tired of hearing it but it's true: When it comes to beauty products, you shouldn't put anything onto your body that you wouldn't put into your body. So, here are three natural ingredients that you need in your beauty routine.
Activated charcoal
Another natural beauty ingredient that you need in your beauty routine is activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is a porous, black powder made of carbon that absorbs all kinds of toxins. One of the toxins that it absorbs are tannins, which are the compounds found in coffee, tea, tobacco, wine and other foods that stain your teeth. That makes activated charcoal an amazing teeth whitener. Even better, it doesn’t absorb minerals, such as calcium, so it won’t weaken your enamel, which drugstore whiteners are known to do. Activated charcoal is also great for your skin and natural beauty buffs are obsessed with the charcoal face mask from Fig + Yarrow and the charcoal cleansing bar from LUSH. You can also buy your own activated charcoal from Bulk Apothecary.
