Video: How to Get Glowing Skin: All About Exfoliation!

I’m a huge fan of exfoliation. It’s one of the easiest things to incorporate into your skincare routine that has really big effects, and pretty much anyone with any skin type can benefit from some form of exfoliation. I made a free Essential Guide to Exfoliation (click to download) all about exfoliating, and I’m giving an overview of the key points in this video.

The PDF guide also has suggested routines for different skin types and conditions (dry, oily, aging, sensitive etc.) and some more product recommendations. I’ve also added some short reviews of some of the exfoliants I’ve been enjoying lately to this video.

The products are:

  • The Face Shop White Jewel Peeling
  • Skinfood Pineapple Peeling Gel
  • Clarisonic Mia 2
  • Foreo Luna Play Plus
  • The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA
  • Ultraceuticals Ultra Brightening Serum
  • Pixi Glow Tonic
  • KraveBeauty Kale-lalu-yAHA
  • Drunk Elephant Sukari Babyfacial
  • Kate Somerville ExfoliKate
  • Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid

Exfoliation is probably old hat for a lot of my readers, but I really needed to make a video guide on it – everyone needs to know about exfoliation in my opinion!

What are your favourite exfoliants? Mine are probably (in no particular order) lactic acid, kiwifruit and peeling gels right now – to me it seems like my favourites don’t change much, but I’m hoping this acts as a record for future reference!

Some products were provided for review, which did not affect my opinion. This post also contains affiliate links – if you decide to click through and support Lab Muffin financially (at no extra cost to you), thank you! For more information, see Disclosure Policy.

    Michelle, here’s a heads-up: the video shows a“Not available.” Since it seems unlikely you’d send a newsletter and then delete the video included with it, I’m thinking that maybe the permissions aren’t correct, like maybe it’s not visible to people outside Australia, or to people who don’t follow you, something like that. Point is that maybe you might change something so we can see it.

    (I have the guide so don’t feel I’m missing out on *too* much, but I know that others are!

    Good luck!

    My favorite is Tatcha’s Rice Enzyme Powder, I’ve been using it consistently for about 4 weeks now and my skin has completely changed. It’s amazing stuff!

    Hi Michelle
    Great video! I’d love to take a look at the study regarding the effectiveness of salicylic acid at higher pH values, but I haven’t been able to find it. Would you mind adding this to your post?
    Thanks!

      Here’s one: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-2494.2009.00501_2.x

      I feel like there’s another study as well but I can’t find it right now!

    The video is visible for me, living in Germany, that just as information as I read in the comments that some had issues.
    My favorite exfoliant is probably Salicylic Acid as it has really helped my oily and congested skin, but I have grow to love enzymes too, as they feel so gentle.

    This shade of red (of your cardigan) looks so good on you (at least on camera and to me)! With a perfect shade of blush to match, too!
