In today’s busy world, people sometimes (strike that: always) have moments when they just want to chill out and let every day life’s toxicity drain out of them. That’s not always easy to achieve, but an activated charcoal foot mask is a miracle product that delivers both relaxation and detox effects.
What Is Activated Charcoal?
Activated charcoal, sometimes called activated carbon, is charcoal that has been processed to expand its surface area. It’s often used to treat cases of drug overdose and poisoning because drugs and toxins easily bind to it and can then be flushed from the body. Activated charcoal is also frequently used in face, body and foot masks due to its reported ability to pull out toxins from the body, help clear up acne and smooth the skin.

Activated charcoal foot masks are especially helpful with detoxing the body due to the simple fact that your feet truly are one of the main centers of your body.

Examples include foot reflexology, using Vicks VapoRub on your feet to cure coughs and the ancient practice of placing onion slices on your feet to treat a cold or the flu.
When you use a detoxifying activated charcoal foot mask on your feet, the mixture can draw impurities from the body and skin, moisturize skin cells and stimulate your lymphatic flow and circulation.
