10 must-try exfoliators if you have dry, flaky skin
Get ready to welcome smooth, soft and radiant.
If you feel like your complexion is dull, dry or just a bit meh, you're not alone (actually, join the club).
We know it can be pretty annoying trying to turn around a dull complexion, especially when you feel like your whole face is about to flake off. And it's winter. And you're scared an exfoliator will make it worse.
Thankfully, there's a tonne of exfoliators out there that are a dry complexion's best friend. The thing we recommend looking for? Natural, gentle ingredients that won't irritate your skin and strip it of its natural oils.

Exfoliating regularly helps to remove this layer of dead skin cells, allowing your moisturiser to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. Plus, it can also help to stimulate cell turnover and collagen production, which can improve the overall texture and firmness of your skin.
So without further ado, here are our picks...
