It’s a New Year: Refresh, Reset & Resurface

The Luxury Exfoliators That Transform Your Skin for 2026

A new year brings a natural desire to shed what’s old and step into what’s next — and your skin is no exception. After months of environmental stressors, holiday indulgence, and winter dullness, January is the perfect moment to refresh, reset, and resurface your complexion.

Exfoliation is one of the most effective ways to reveal brighter, smoother, more radiant skin. Whether you prefer enzymatic refinement, acid-based toning, or a gentle daily peel, these four luxury exfoliators deliver visible results and a sensorial experience worthy of your top shelf.
