Taking care of your skin with Yardley Charcoal Soap



The only me time I get nowadays is in the shower. I have loved trying this Activated Charcoal Moisturizing Bath Bar. The smell of spearmint and bergamot is simple and refreshing. I feel great after my showers which helps me to sleep. I use it at night. Actually , my boyfriend has been enjoying it also so maybe it would be a great option for men who don’t like strong girly scents .

What Is Activated Charcoal?

Activated charcoal, also called activated carbon is obtained by burning natural materials such as wood, regular coal, peat or coconut husks. The source material is burned at a very high temperature to form a lightweight mass of carbonaceous charcoal. It means that all the oxygen was removed from source material through controlled oxidation and or processing by steam.

Thanks to this process, the charcoal expands creating a porous surface that traps toxins. From this point, we can refer to charcoal as “activated” charcoal. Its natural ability to absorb has been boosted this way. That’s why this fine black powder has a higher efficiency and its maximum usability for the body.

5 Skin Benefits of Activated Charcoal Soap

1. Takes Care of Oily Skin

Oily skin? Many of you might be fed up with trying out innumerable ways to treat oily skin. It gets even worse during the summer season. Activated charcoal may be just the ingredient you need to balance things out. Activated charcoal soap can pull the unwanted excess oils from your skin along with the dirt from the skin. This gives you an oil-free, smooth look. Moreover, it also effectively removes unwanted oil from the face as well from the body.

2. Deep Cleans Your Skin

Charcoal soap has the perfect ability to control facial oil, it’s also effective in the removal of dead cells, thus providing clean and flawless skin. It works wonders on clearing the pores of the impurities which are responsible for blackheads. It works by absorbing oil, deep-seated debris and environmental pollutants to detoxify the skin. After using it, your skin should feel smooth and your pores should be visibly refined. It gives an amazing deep cleanse because toxins stick to the activated charcoal.

3. Help Reducing Acne

Depending on the specifics of your acne, how severe it is, what’s causing it and what else is going on, activated charcoal may be able to help. Charcoal soap is known to be highly activated charcoal soapbeneficial in the treatment of acne. Soap with activated carbon will also adsorb toxins and remove skin impurities and oils on and below the skin. This way soap eliminates acne. Sometimes it even clears facial marks resulting from acne.

4. Reduces Pore Size

Throughout the day, dirt, toxins are settling over your pores making them more noticeable and enlarged in appearance. When your pores aren’t clear, neither is your complexion. Charcoal soap is the best solution for this as Activated carbon binds to and helps pull the dirt and grime out of your pores, making them less visible and reduces their size. This leaves your face feeling fresh.

5. Very Gently Exfoliates

The texture of charcoal makes for a gentle natural exfoliator. Soap with activated carbon is slightly gritty, which might provide just the gentle exfoliating you need. It helps to remove dead skin cells along with the extraction of dirt and grime from the skin, while its antimicrobial properties help prevent skin infections. Essential oils further boost bactericidal properties, therefore, our activated charcoal soap is coupled with tea tree essential oil, which has antibacterial, antiseptic properties and the ability to treat skin disorders including acne, blemishes.

Great Tips for Fostering Kittens On Your Own

🐱 Great Tips for Fostering Kittens On Your Own 🐱

1. Enclosure 🏡

Whether it's 1 or a litter of 6 you will need a proper enclosure. We like to use zippered pen enclosures that can be found on Amazon or Chewy. If you're low on cash then you can simply use a plastic storage bin from Walmart that is tall ( You don't want the kittens escaping as they get older and this will only work up until a certain age). Do NOT use the lid if you do this so they can get proper air flow.

If you have a spare cat/dog carrier then you can use that in the early stages as its perfect for nesting and easy to manage with a heat pad.


2. Keep kittens warm ☀️

You will need a heating pad for the babies if they are under 4 weeks old. I like the ones that don't turn off on their own. My favorite is from Sunbeam and is only $15 at Walmart. It has a low, medium and high setting. Once they are older you can give them a nice little round pet bed with a fleece blanket to keep them cozy. ( I keep a disposable pad under the blanket so if they pee it goes on that and not on the bed. Change the blanket and pee pad once every few days)

3. Feeding 🍼

Please check feeding schedule in photo. I am in love with the Miracle Nipple Syringe feeding technique and would never go back to a bottle. This is the easiest way to feed a baby kitten. They can be ordered online through Amazon. In an emergency situation a regular baby pet bottle can be used and can be found in many pet stores locally or Walmart.

You can buy Kitten Milk Replacement or KMR locally in powder form or ready made cans. I like the powder because it keeps fresh longer and I can customize my batches when I need them. It's usually 1 scoop of powder to 2 scoops of warm/hot water. Mix well.

Remember to feed slowly and let the baby latch onto the nipple to suckle mainly on its own. If you go to fast you can aspirate the baby. Give it breaks in between to breathe. You can set the baby down on a towel or blanket on its legs so its in a standing position while feeding. NEVER feed a kitten on its back like a human baby. They can aspirate the milk.

4. Helping kittens to Pee/Poop 💩

So when you are done feeding each kitten you will need to help them pee and poop. You can use a wet paper towel/washcloth or baby wipes. I like to use fragrance free wipes and either paper towel underneath them / disposable pad cut in a small piece. (Cut the pad in squares to make one last longer)

You will need to gently rub on the genital area until pee comes out. Gently wipe the kitty's anus to stimulate for poop. Kitty will not need to poop with every single feeding so don't get too worried. If kitty doesn't poop after about 30 seconds then put it back to sleep. Try to have your kitten poop at least once/twice a day.

5. Keeping Kitty Clean 💦

Mom cats keep their babies really clean and do a great job at it. It's really hard to replicate this. Your kittens will smell funky after a few days of peeing on themselves (It will happen while they are in their nest) They might pee or poop on each other. If this happens you will need to bathe them in warm water with dish soap/baby shampoo/ or a natural pet shampoo that's simple. Try not to soak the head and wash whats important which is the bottom half. You can rub any spots up top with your fingers/water/soap.

Completely dry off the baby so it doesn't get hypothermia. Don't wash them too often. Like I said, a big litter of babies will smell often.
