I hope you are all well & having a fab week! Half way through the week now. All a down hill slide now till friday yayyyy!
I am definitely am doing better this week at writing posts that's for sure! I feel like I have so much stuff to catch up & where I also work full time it can be a struggle fitting everything in but it is SO worth it because I literally LOVE blogging.
Quite a lot of beauty products recently I have noticed seem to contain charcoal.Activated charcoal is administered in hospitals as an emergency treatment for poisoning. This is due to chemicals bind to it, so it can help remove them from the body. People are also using food grade activated charcoal internally to detox, whether it be in supplements or juices. It is even being used to whiten teeth. Which is what I want to share with you...
I love nothing better than having white teeth. I have always said one of the first things you notice about someone is their smile & it is true. So I have tried a number of teeth whitening toothpastes, gels, you name it. I've even tried laser whitening which I have to say really didn't make much difference to the shade of my teeth. I come across a product called Activated charcoal teeth whitening powder by a company called Procoal London. The product is 100% Natural! It contains no synthetic additives, preservatives, foaming agents, fluoride, artificial colours or flavours. It is literally what it says pure charcoal powder. It helps to removes stains and discolouration from the surface of your teeth to significantly whiten and brighten your smile.
When I opened the pot I did worry in thinking it was going to stain my teeth when brushing with it. But you simply place a pinch of the charcoal powder in your palm & wet your tooth brush. Then dip your tooth brush in the powder & brush your teeth as you would normally. Brush for about 1-2 minutes. Yes your teeth will go all black & you may look abit scary but do not panic it does wash off! Once you have finished brushing, simply rinse your mouth to ensure the powder has all gone. It really does not taste of anything. You get the best results it advises if you use it twice a day. I have used it for a day now & my teeth are not very dull anyway they are pretty white but after using the powder it does make them look clean, fresh &
sparkly. So I am interested to see what will happen to my teeth after using the powder for a bit longer.
The pot lasts for around 2-3 months as you only use a small amount as it does go far. The pot is £9.99 currently on the Procoal London website. Which I will list for you:

Another of my favourite charcoal based products at the moment are the oil balancing & charcoal range from Sukin.
My skin is pretty much a combination skin but I do get oily patches on my face, mostly around my t-zone areas. So using skin care products which helps with that for me is important. So I do tend to stick to ones which are not oily. So for me this range is perfect!
Sukin is an Australian based company. Their products are ALL 100% carbon neutral cruelty free & also vegan. They also use natural ingredients to give the best to your skin.
Out of the range I have the:
Purifying gel cleanser - Which is a gel made for everyday use. It is packed with bamboo charcoal to help purify & balance your complexion. Bilberry, white tea & pomegranate to help give vitamins to the skin, while the chamomile, aloe vera & cucumber help to soothe the skin whilst cleansing it. It also contains ingredients to help prevent breakouts.
Pore refining facial scrub - This contains jojoba beads & again bamboo charcoal to exfoliate the skin & help keep the pores clear from impurities. The scrub is also full of vitamins.
Mattifying facial moisturiser - This is a moisturiser which I have found is great for everyday use. Like all of these products are. It absorbs quickly into the skin & helps to leave my skin feeling clean & fresh. It is non-greasy & definitely adds hydration to your skin.
The products are so affordable yet such great quality I find.
In this range they do also do a facial mask & facial tonic but I am yet to try them. They literally do a range for every skin type & now even do a range for baby's.
You can visit their website for more about their ranges & to purchase too:

Have a lovely evening!
Take care,
