Your discussion regarding activated charcoal and it being evidence based and it being used in ancient times is misleading. Firstly, something being done in ancient times is not evidence of truth. It’s only evidence of its use. Secondly, the scientific literature indicates that it can remove surface stains. Stains on your teeth can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic stains lie on the dentin, a layer underneath your enamel. Extrinsic stains are on the surface of the enamel. Because of the porous nature of dentin, intrinsic stains tend to stick strongly to your teeth. To get to intrinsic stains under the solid enamel, you need to remove part of the enamel or use bleaching agents that get under it. These treatments can be done only at dental clinics. On the other hand, extrinsic stains can be removed by brushing, toothpastes, professional cleaning by your dentist, and some chemical treatments. The claims made by charcoal use is yet to be backed up with enough trials or data to be true. In fact we have more reasons to be cautious of using its use: Thinning enamel. When you use activated charcoal toothpaste, your teeth may look whiter at first. But after continued use, your teeth may start looking more yellow. If this happens, it’s because the activated charcoal has worn down your enamel and revealed the dentin layer of your teeth. More surface roughness. In a lab test, researchers found that activated charcoal powder on its own increased the surface roughness of teeth and even changed the enamel surface. The study also showed that activated charcoal powder didn’t whiten teeth. It’s easier for bacteria to cling to your teeth if the surface area is rough, raising your risk of cavities and gum disease. Tooth powders are abrasive. In general, tooth powders can be five times more abrasive than toothpastes because of the abrasive materials used, as well as the size of their particles.
@alexcosta, I love your page it helps me on a mental health level,no more shaming men's beauty is one of the reasons. Thank you for existing,before you I was following women pages for beauty hacks.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😂😂
In addition - face serum, 30mins sunshine a day, hydration, 30mins cardio and weights 4-5 a week. Avoid the whitening eye drops and the wrinkle relaxers.
alex you have completely changed my fashion... i used to be made fun of in school about my outfits... going to college everyone likes the clothes i wear thank you so much ☺❤
No, Activated charcoal does not remove stains from your teeth / whitens them. it's abrasive, meaning that you're basically like cutting out the stain of a shirt instead of chemically treating it. use hydrogen peroxide strips and listen to people who know what they're saying.
@@kevinsebastian120 ... because you are grinding the yellow stains away. i explained it in the very comment you just responded to. "A lot of people claim that charcoal works great for teeth whitening. Especially for stains caused by coffee, tea and wine. However, at this time, no scientific evidence backs that. In fact, many dental professionals advise patients not to use activated charcoal since it might do more harm than good."
@@Marv0712 It depends on how you use it. You can use its abrasive properties to your advantage by using it to remove stains, but using it too much, too frequently, or too aggressively may result in long term tooth enamel damage. Being absrasive isn’t the equivalent of cutting out a clothing stain. It’s more so scrubbing it away, but not too hard, to remove the stain while also keeping the protective outer layer intact.
I followed so many life hacks from you. I don't know whether I am being attractive or not. But surely I became more confident. Thanks Alex. Love from India 🇮🇳😍
There's actually a men's makeup line called Stryx. I love these guys. We're not talking about the same thing women use, it's created by men for men. There's nothing wrong with looking like you, only more handsome
Regarding the skin routine nothing beats Skinceuticals,it's expensive but worth every penny, hyaluronic acid&glycolic acid are like magick for your skin,
My man turned into Jose from Teaching Men's Fashion 😭😭 We want old Alex back 😢 Btw, those are not scientific studies, they're rather articles reviewing and retelling them
Charcoal does not whiten your teeth. It’s an illusion due to a dark color that temporarily stains your teeth, hiding the yellow. I have a better solution though, use those little purple candy tables that are used for spotting plaque. Chew a half piece, and the purple will mask the yellow stain for a while, making your teeth appear white. (Purple is the opposite of yellow). The only other way to really whiten your teeth is to use zoom, gel or white strips.
When you said that you've analyzed past civilizations at the beginning, I instantly told myself: "Ok, this video is gonna be serious". By the way Alex, have you ever heard of multilingual video dubbing ? It's a process of translating your video content into multiple languages while preserving your authentic voice and message. It's a great way to reach a global audience and grow so I thought that this could be very beneficial for you. Let me know if this interests you 😉.
laboratory generated activated charcoal leeches arsenic if it hasn't been rinsed first - typically it is sold unrinsed. I recommend getting the coconut shell activated charcoal to avoid the problem of introducing arsenic into your body.
hi Alex, i hope u achieve all pf ur dreams in life because u made me achieve mine. i started watching u in 2020 and i am a complete different person now. only because of you brother. tysm man i love u so much and im a huge fan ❤
I'm someone who can't grow a beard and I'm better off without it. I'm Asian, I powerlift but I have a skinny frame, and I have a very feminine face. If I grow out my facial hair, I will look like someone who can't wipe his own ass. Don't be pressured by not growing a beard if you think you won't even look good in it. Rock what you have and max out on that
Using fish-oil supplement also makes the whites of your eyes whiter, just a few minutes after taking it. My eyes look perfectly good upon waking up so I don't take it in the morning, rather I take it in the afternoon when my eyes tend to get a little red and yellow from bring in front of a screen. And it also slowly improves your eyesight (my power went from -1.50 to -1.00in a matter of 3 months) And it has several other benefits as well and you can take it daily So I prefer it over eyedrops big time, but ofc you can use eyedrops every once in a while, just don't use it too much
@@RickyConnelley omg bro visited my dentist yesterday and she told be exactly about this brand! Thanks for advice, gonna consider them. But also gonna go with a mouthpiece+gel which is said to be solid as well
