The Single Best Exfoliator for Every Skin Type

If your skin turns red at the slightest touch, try this natural peel. It uses mild fruit acids from kiwis, apples and papayas to remove dead skin without being too abrasive. (Plus, it smells delicious.) Once a week, smooth on a thin layer and remove it with a damp towel after ten minutes. You’ll have that sort ofI-slept-for-ten-hoursglow that’s hard to come by as an adult.

Some quick skin-care science for you: AHAs (like glycolic or lactic acid) work to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, while BHAs (like salicylic acid) help to unclog pores. This toner has both magical ingredients, which makes it a godsend for the oily (and typically acne-prone). Use it after cleansing every morning and night to keep shine and bumps at bay.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, if your skin is perpetually parched and flaky, try using this whipped scrub twice a week. It’s packed with corn beads (which are soft and rounded—not sharp or jagged like older formulas) to lift dry patches and grape-pulp extracts to moisturize.

If you’re one of the lucky few who don't have any specific concerns when it comes to complexion, this powder wash is a good staple. Formulated with fruit enzymes, it can be used as a daily cleanser as well as a weekly scrub, depending on how much water is added.

OK, guys, here’s the bad news: Our natural skin-cell turnover slows down as we age. The good news is that certain ingredients (like retinol and ferulic acid) can help bring things back up to speed. These potent peel pads have both—which is why we’ve taken to using them two (sometimes three) times a week to keep things smooth and bright.
