Why Exfoliate Your Lips? The Benefits of Charcoal Lip Care
Dead, flaky skin accumulates on lips, causing discomfort and dullness. Gentle exfoliation removes these cells, stimulates renewal, and enhances lip balm absorption. Our activated charcoal lip scrub combines detoxification with deep hydration for visibly smoother lips.
The Power of Activated Charcoal for Lips
Activated charcoal’s microporous structure binds toxins, bacteria, and pollutants. While famous for face masks, it’s equally effective for lips—gently purifying and helping reduce pigmentation for naturally brighter lips.
Premium Activated Charcoal Powder is ideal for DIY beauty recipes thanks to its ultra-fine texture and high adsorption capacity.
