Exfoliation is one of the most powerful—and most misunderstood—steps in skincare. In this episode of the Beaucoup Skin Podcast, host Starsky Clark breaks down the science of shedding and glowing.

From AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs to enzyme exfoliants, you’ll learn how each type works, what skin concerns they target, and how to avoid the common mistakes that damage your barrier. We’ll cover why exfoliation is essential for brighter skin, smoother texture, and better product absorption—and how it prepares your skin for advanced treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, and laser.

Whether you’re a beginner wondering how often to exfoliate, or a skincare lover looking to level up your results, this episode gives you the knowledge to exfoliate smarter, not harder.
