Charcoal Soap DIY
Activated charcoal is one of the hottest trends in the beauty world right now. Completely natural, it actively works to clarify, exfoliate and purify skin. You can use it from head to toe without drying out your skin. At EG, we know that almost any DIY can benefit from the incorporation of essential oils. To make your very own charcoal soap, follow this super-easy recipe.
What You Need:
