The right exfoliator can completely change how your skin feels and behaves—and the best drugstore exfoliator can do so without breaking the bank. When you remove dead skin cells and pore buildup (and subsequently increase cell turnover), your skin appears clearer and more even, allowing the rest of your routine to perform better.

When people talk about eczema, the first thing many of them mention is the unbearable itch—the hallmark symptom of this group of skin conditions. The next thing they might say is how common it is.More than 31 million Americans have eczema, but Black people are disproportionately affected. In fact, one widely cited study found that Black kids were 1.7 times more likely to develop the condition than their white counterparts. Researchers believe this disparity may stem from a range of factors, including socioeconomic, environmental, and genetic circumstances. Eczema also presents differently on individuals with darker complexions than it does on…
