When it comes to your routine of keeping your skin and teeth healthy, nature often provides the most powerful solutions.
The truth is that plenty of natural ingredients often hold the key to simple, effective self-care.
Whether you’re looking to brighten your smile, rejuvenate your skin, or give your nails a boost, lemon juice and activated charcoal are the way to go.
Below are six creative ways to include these simple but powerful ingredients in your routine:
1. Sparkling Smile
If you want your teeth to be white and free of cavity, mix a small amount of activated charcoal with a few drops of lemon juice. Use the paste to gently brush your teeth for a minute or two before rinsing.
Charcoal helps get rid of the surface stains on your teeth, while lemon juice’s gentle acidity brightens them.
Use this paste once a week and enjoy your sparkling smile.
2. Skin Reset Mask
For purified and refreshed skin, mix a teaspoon of activated charcoal with a teaspoon of lemon juice. Spread a thin layer of the mask over your face, leave it for about 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. For extra moisture, add a teaspoon of honey or aloe vera to the mixture.
Charcoal will help with the impurities, and the lemon will help tighten and tone your pores.
