Soft Services Buffing Bar (2 pack): gentle or tough depending on how much pressure you use. i like it so much more than having to scoop something out of a tub.

Trader Joes Lavender Salt Scrub: As a psoriasis and eczema girl, I fell in love with the moisturized feeling this scrub leaves me with. The scent is amazing, not overwhelming. The scrub itself isn’t to “wet” so it actually gets the job done.

Smooth operator! Soft Services Buffing Bar: I've tried it all from the who knows what's in it St. Ives Apricot scrub of our youth to sugar and salt scrubs, mitts and scrubbers and more. They're all great but this bar is a game changer.

Compact, WIDLY effective, and it has a dish you can get that actually works and keeps it from going soft in the shower. I travel with mine and use it at home. Fast, easy, functional and it totally works.

The best comparison I can think of is how you feel when you leave a Korean Spa, like you have new skin.

Exfoliating gloves: These aren’t as luxurious as a scrub but if you mean business, these deliver. Not necessarily these- any exfoliating glove will do.

Nécessaire Body Exfoliator: A little gentle chemical exfoliating helps, too! This one is so lovely and smells like eucalyptus. I use it in conjunction with a Korean Italy towel to get that newborn babe skin.

Aya C · Answer

Prequel Multi-Acid Milk Exfoliating AHA Peel: I put this on after my shower for smooth skin and to keep my KP in check. They just came out with a cleanser so if you wanted something that is more gentle and washes off, vs leave-on, this would likely be great.

I use the glycerin+salicylic acid one and love it.

Trader joes ground espresso: The make up artist for my wedding told us to exfoliate with ground coffee and it works amazingly well. Does make a bit of a mess but you will be so smooth. Been using a random old can of ground espresso and a little goes a looooong way.

Erika · Answer

Korean Italy Towel: I went to one of those korean bath houses where you get scrubbed by a stern older korean lady. I have never been so soft as I was after that, and then I found the same kind of scrubbing glove she used to bring home. This thing is crazy good! The trick is to soak in a hot bath or shower for 5-10 mins without using soap, then get out and scrub vigorously all over. All dead skin will come off. 10/10

edelweiss liquid peel: I picked this up on a whim years ago and I’ve been using it since. Takes off loads of dead skin but is gentle and moisturizing at the same time and I notice a definite difference in the brightness in my skin after using. I use it once or twice a week on my face.
