How to exfoliate your dry, winter skin:
How you exfoliate, though, couldn't be more important in this situation. First, you should never try to get rid of all the flakes at once—Dr. Schultz suggests working on it over a week. And another shocker, chemical exfoliants are actually the better choice for reducing the chance of irritation.
There are many different types of acids that are used to slough off dead skin cells, but Dr. Schultz says glycolic acid is your best bet because it gets rid of flakes while smoothing your skin's surface, revealing a brighter and even-toned complexion. Not only that, but it can make your pores look smaller, too.
"Glycolic exfoliation works by wiping away—by 'ungluing'—the damaged, dead, dulling excess and brown pigment-laden epidermal cells that prevent moisturizers from working and cause the appearance of dull weather-beaten skin," he says of the ingredients function.
When choosing a glycolic, Dr. Schultz urges it should be "balanced, buffered, and pH adjusted," as that's the gentler option, and the product should fall in-between the 8 to 15 percent range, depending on where on the body you're exfoliating.
