DIY: Charcoal & Spirulina Clarifying Mask

This is a Part 2 to my previous post on the wonders of activated charcoal for the skin.  After realizing that on of my favorite skin care products, Glam Glow  clearing mud, contained charcoal I decided to do a little experiment.

On the weekends, I want to treat myself to decadent masks to replenish my skin after a long week.  An idea came to me where I could combine my spirulina, charcoal and Aztec Clay powders to create an ultimate clearing and refining mask.

Aztec Clay, Activated Charcoal, Manuka Honey, Spirulina, Apple Cider Vinegar

The result was a mask so natural that I could actually eat it.  Everything blended together really well.  The blended ingredients created smooth, rich paste that was super easy to apply.

My skin care journey is moving right along really nicely.  Overall, the texture has improved tremendously thanks my Clarisonic and regular use of clarifying masks.  I've also seen a huge reduction in acne scarring and I look forward to even greater results next year.  My intention is to have a flawless look without foundation.  It's gonna happen.  I don't care what it takes to get there.
