Gisele Bundchen is no stranger to makeup. The statuesque Brazilian beauty has been modelling since she was 13 years old, and since then has been one of the highest-paid models in the world and a fixture both on the catwalk and the red carpet. Once seen on Leonardo DiCaprio's arm, Gisele spends plenty of time perfecting her look as what Naomi Campbell calls "the only remaining true supermodel".
The modeling industry has its fair share of fakers and wannabes, but Gisele is not one of them. Without the usual team of makeup artists and sculptors, she's still a 100% genuine supermodel. They can do whatever they like with their brushes and blow-dryers, but all they're doing is polishing a diamond. It might be shocking to us to see her "au naturel", but that's only because she's still ravishing.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
