When I think about the most superfluous parts of my skin-care arsenal — the products I use that are probably more fun than they are effective — I think about the "detoxifying" booster drops I add to my night cream, the exfoliating scrub for my eyebrows, and the sheet masks made just for my neck.

If Biologique Recherche is a Right-Bank Parisian who sits front row at fashion week, still smokes Gitanes, and could care less about ingredient transparency, then Moon Juice's Beauty Shroom Exfoliating Acid Potion is her hippie sister who moved to the west coast, grows her own vegetables in Echo Park, and stirs adaptogen powders into her herbal tea.

I was alarmed when my skin started to purge after just a few days of using the Beauty Shroom Exfoliating Acid Potion, but dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, MD, tells me it's normal: "Skin purging is a phenomenon where acne gets worse before it gets better because blockages within the pores are brought to the surface all at once," he says.

"Many people ask for specifics on the best time to use a physical exfoliant, but it really is dependent on the individual's habits and lifestyle," says dermatologist Harold Lancer, MD.
