Ever wonder how beauty pros make the most of the investment products lining their bathroom cabinets (AKA soothing serums and firming creams worth their weight in gold)?

Turns out, in-the-know skin-care obsessives—including Well+Good’s beauty editor Rachel Lapidos—rely on one easy step every morning to ensure splurge-worthy products are penetrating deeply into the dermis and working as effectively as possible: Daily exfoliation.

If you’re scrunching your nose at the thought of exfoliating every day, it’s likely you’re thinking of abrasive scrubs. But there’s an alternative: acid formulas, which unlike the name suggests, can be a lot more gentle.

Enter Juice Beauty’s STEM CELLULAR Exfoliating Peel Spray, which leans on organic fruit compounds including malic acid from apples and resveratrol—an antioxidant from grapes—to buff away dead skin and dirt on contact. Follow with natural skin boosters and makeup from Juice Beauty, which tap pure organic ingredients with clinical cred, to enhance your complexion while it stays on.

Watch the video above to check out the peel spray in action, then shop for the luminous-skin boosters she counts on for her everyday glow below.
