Episode Details

Are you over-exfoliating your skin without realising it?

In this episode, consultant dermatologists Dr Ellie Rashid and Dr Emma Craythorne explain what exfoliation actually does, how to get glowing skin safely, and why so many people damage their skin barrier chasing “glass skin”.

They cover:

• The difference between chemical and physical exfoliation
• Why sensitive skin can react badly to exfoliants
• The real reason exfoliation increases sun sensitivity
• The best exfoliants for acne, dull skin and ageing skin
• Why retinoids often outperform scrubs and acids
• The truth about dermaplaning and whether hair grows back thicker
• Hidden exfoliants in skincare, including pineapple and papaya enzymes
• How to protect your skin barrier while still getting glowing skin

If you want evidence-based skincare, honest dermatologist advice, and real answers about acne, pigmentation, ageing and skin health, this is the podcast for you.
