The Best Winter Exfoliators That Won't Dry Out Your Skin

The hydrating, yet clarifying formulas to add to your skincare collection this season.
The Best Winter Exfoliators That Won’t Dry Out Your Skin
By Blake Newby · Updated April 28, 2021

Usually when one hears “exfoliator,” they immediately think of scrubbing away at the skin. To many, that thought usually implies that somehow you’re also getting rid of the skin’s essential natural oils. And while that is true sometimes, that’s not always the case.

The ahead gentle exfoliators are proof of that, strong enough to fight dullness and fine lines, while gentle enough to ensure that you maintain your glow and aren’t over-dried. That’s especially important now as cold, dry temperatures already continue to take a toll on the skin’s outer layer.
