How to Exfoliate Naturally for Glowing Skin
Why Exfoliation is Important
Exfoliation is a vital part of any skincare routine. It removes dead skin cells and impurities, clears pores, supports cell renewal, and helps reveal a radiant complexion.
Pairing your exfoliation with B Calm’s nourishing carrier oils and essential oils elevates the experience—delivering deep hydration and promoting skin health with every scrub.
Benefits of Natural Exfoliation
Looking to exfoliate at home naturally? You’re in the right place. Natural exfoliation is gentler on sensitive skin, free from harsh chemicals, and kind to the planet.
B Calm’s cold-pressed carrier oils—including Jojoba Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Sesame Oil, and Castor Oil—make the perfect base for your DIY exfoliating scrubs. They nourish while you exfoliate, leaving skin soft, smooth, and glowing.
