Oh, to have skin even one percent as beautiful as Meghan Markle’s. The philanthropist is always glowing, her complexion crystal clear and velvety smooth. If we ever need skinspiration, we just picture her radiant complexion — especially on her wedding day. But what products does she actually use?

Markle has gushed about many beauty products she’s loved over the years, even back during her days as an actress on Suits. We still look through her old musings when we’re lost on what to add to our shopping cart, knowing her picks are truly timeless. This exfoliating facial scrub, for example, is still a huge fan-favorite in all of skincare!

Markle once wrote on her former blog, The Tig (archived here), about her favorite facialists around the world. “Being in layers of makeup on set for work,” she wrote, “there’s nothing I relish more than off days with a freshly scrubbed face.” And she found just that with Kate Somerville.

“This spot is a hometown classic for good reason, with aestheticians who are as skilled as they are friendly,” she wrote about the brand’s Los Angeles-based clinic. Luckily, she also gave readers a tip for if a trip to the California location isn’t feasible, noting that “if you can’t make it in, a bottle of ExfoliKate will do the trick for that homegrown glow.”

The ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment Markle was referencing is a dual-action exfoliator created to smooth and polish skin. It contains lactic acid and salicylic acid, covering both AHAs and BHAs, as well as papaya, pineapple and pumpkin enzymes so it’s not too drying. It’s also made with skin soothers like aloe vera and honey. The results? You may find it helps “significantly improve” the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth out skin texture, diminish the appearance of pores and brighten dull skin!

It’s suggested that you use this scrub, which is available in three sizes, once or twice a week, massaging a thin layer around in a circular motion on your face and leaving on for about two minutes before rinsing. We know it’s on the pricier side, but with how little you have to use it, it lasts a long time! Plus, there’s no replacing that Markle-approved “homegrown glow”!
