Hello
beauties. I had ordered an activated charcoal face pack, quiet some time ago
and I found that it treated my acne pretty well and it also reduced the spots.
It was also travel-friendly so that was a bonus. But I happen to be a beauty on
a budget, so I decided to DIY it, with the ingredients I had at hand. I have
been using my DIY version since a month and let me just say I’m loving it. So
without further ado let’s see how to make it.
Ingredients:

charcoal powder, clove oil and the face pack on which I based this post are at
the end of this article.)
Procedure:
1. Mix all the dry ingredients in
a bowl.
2. Add in the wet ingredients. Adjust
the consistency according to your like, by adding more rose water. I like a
thick face pack, so the quantity of rose water mentioned is okay with me. Be very
careful while adding the clove oil because if by chance you happen to add more
than a few drops, your skin might feel a slight burning sensation.
3. Apply it on your face and neck
and leave it for 15-20 minutes or until it dries out.
You can store this face pack in an
air tight container and it will last well for a month. I have put side by side
pictures of the pack I made a month ago and the freshly made one. The difference
is just of the consistency, which can be adjusted.
I’ll
just quickly talk about the benefits of the ingredients used in the mask. Activated
Charcoal helps in clearing out dirt from your skin, fights acne and helps in
achieving flawless complexion. Multani mitti is generally good for skin, makes
it softer and healthier. Aloe vera treats acne, makes the skin heal faster and reduces
scarring. Glycerine is a great moisturiser and rose water is a magic potion for
every skin type. But the star here is clove oil, which treats acne and clears
out the scars. The overall verdict is that, this pack is ah-mazing.
