Exfoliation:

Dr. Frank says exfoliation one of the most important things you can do–but don’t go overboard: Twice a week is enough, or less if you live in a windy climate. If your skin is particularly dry, you can apply a very light layer of Aquaphor afterwards. {Ed. Note: Aquaphor is also the best lip balm ever. I’ve tried every one on the market but always come back to plain old Aquaphor.}

• Clarisonic Cleansing System, $119: A favorite of many dermatologists, this is also one of Dr. Frank’s top recommendations for gentle exfoliation.

• Boots No 7 Beautiful Skin Purifying Exfoliator, $9.99: You don’t need to go high end for really good exfoliation products. (We like to put our money into serums instead.)

• MAC Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator, $28: This is the sparkliest and best smelling volcanic ash you’ll ever use. It suds up a bit and will make you glow.

• Ahava Facial Mud Exfoliator, $27: We’ve mentioned this scrub in the past, and we stand by the rec. It’s one of the best we’ve ever tried–gentle but effective.

• Sephora Precision Pore Cleansing Pad, $5: Use your favorite gentle cleanser and this silicone pad for some instant mechanical skin exfoliation, no special products needed.
