To ensure your skin looks youthful and fresh, you will be doing all kinds of things within your usual beauty routine. Moisturizing, exfoliating, and simply washing your face, are just some of the things you likely do on a regular basis, but what if we told you there were other, perhaps more unconventional ways to beautify your skin?
Consider adding the following to your beauty routine.
1. Try activated charcoal
You probably associate charcoal with soot and smoke, so the fact that it is good for your skin might be new to you. But believe it or not, it might be that you are using it already, as it is a common ingredient in a range of different products, including soap and cleansers. You can also buy specific beauty products, such as charcoal face scrubs, that directly promote the benefits of this unusual ingredient.
So, why should you care about activated charcoal? Well, when it comes to skincare, you want something that removes the impurities that cause acne, pimples, and other blemishes. You also want something that can absorb the excess oil on your face. These are just two activated charcoal benefits and you can learn more about the other benefits in the linked article.
2. Wash your face with honey
You might enjoy honey in a sandwich. You might also use this ingredient in your baking. But have you ever used it as a face wash? Surely you would end up in a sticky mess, right? Well, not if you overdo it!
Honey has many skin-boosting properties and is worth adding to your beauty routine if you’re into natural skincare. It can clean your face, reduce acne, heal blemishes, and draw moisture back into your skin. Honey also has anti-aging properties. The fact that it also tastes good is secondary when it comes to your skincare.

3. Benefit your face with snail slime
Okay, we know what you’re thinking. Snail slime? We have to be kidding, right? Well no, we’re not! In fact, you can actually buy skincare products that incorporate snail slime (or snail mucin) online. Check out this advanced snail repair cream, for example.
So, why should you consider this option? Well, snail slime can increase collagen production, even skin tones, fade dark spots, and reverse sun damage. How these benefits were first discovered, we don’t know, but apparently, Koreans have been using this rather unusual ingredient in their beauty products for quite some time now.
You shouldn’t go hunting for snails yourself, of course, so use the products that are already available. Snail slime is harvested in a cruelty-free way, which is good news for you and good news for the snails that can support your beauty routine.
Finally
So, what do you think? Are you prepared to consider these unconventional ways to beautify your skin? Give them a go and test them out for yourself. You might be surprised at what they can do for you!
