Charcoal
CharcoalCharcoal is no longer for just the easel and the barbeque. The ashy substance has broken into the health & beauty world, being used in everything from face masks to supplements. Charcoal's absorptive properties have long been used to counteract the ingestion of poisons, but are now being used to get rid of blemishes and whiten teeth. Simply mix one tablet of activated charcoal powder with a teaspoon of aloe vera and water, and 5 drops of tea tree oil and you have a instant mask! For teeth whitening, just dip a toothbrush with toothpaste into the charcoal powder and brush as usual! [Photo via @ball_of_larn]
