ACNE BE GONE !

Do you have those nasty black heads that just wont let up? Well us too , We've tried tons of different methods like Aloe Vera , Proactive , Oatmeal masks and still nothing worked ! Until we came up with our own Charcoal Mask and that's when things drastically changed .

We chose these certain ingredients based on how safe they were for our skin . The first ingredient chosen was Calcium Bentonite Clay because it helps remove toxins for your skin it helps lighten your dark marks , Clay can help reduce redness and inflammation.

Clay works both to help detox and clarify. It unclogs the pores and shrinks them clay makes our skin glow it removes all dead cells and extracts the extra oils .

Our second ingredient was Activated Charcoal we chose this because it helps clear our pores it binds to dirt and helps pull it out your pores . It's safe for our skin because it draws bacteria , poisons , chemicals , dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of the skin .

I got all this information from , google ,https://www.livestrong.com/cat/health/ ,and https://www.besthealthmag.ca/

Our third ingredient we used was Unflavored Gelatin we chose this ingredient because the gelatin is what makes the peel off mask actually " peel off " . This ingredient is safe and effective because Gelatin is a type of food so it is safe to eat , in our recipe it was not that effective but it is beneficial for other people. Our source was www.healthline.com.

Our recipe needed 6 tablespoons of water , but we had to add more to fix the consistency . Water is a natural thing found on earth so we can trust it in our mask . The best ingredient we used was lavender essential oil , we used this to add a smell to the mask . We used about 6-8 drops. Lavender oil is the most common oil used , its a common smell other than peppermint . So we picked it thinking about the people who would be trying out our mask .

For our procedure first we used an non-metal container to put our ingredients in , we put a tablespoon of clay in the container . Then we took some of the activated charcoal tablets and broke them apart . This was a struggle because the charcoal got everywhere . After we got the charcoal in we added the gelatin and water . We didn't use as much water as we originally planned. We had to add more in order to fix our consistency because it was thick but we got the job done . Then we mixed all the ingredients together and tested it on our hands .

Our project was a d.i.y charcoal peel-off mask , Our project takes care of all the nasty stuff and oily things in our skin . The activated charcoal acts like a magnet sucking everything out of your pores. We had an amazing experience making this project it was fun and simple . Everyone should be making these mask at home !

ENJOY !
