How Much Face Exfoliation is Healthy?!
Question:
How Much Face Exfoliation is Healthy?
I tend to have very dry skin on my face and need to exfoliate daily in order to keep from having little speckles of dried skin all over my face. I use a very rough, round pad to scrub at my face, but I'm not sure if this is "good" for my skin as it leaves my face somewhat raw.
Is there a recommended method to exfoliate and/or remove excess dead/drying skin from the face? And can exfoliating your face this much be harmful to your skin health?
Answers:
My skin is sensitive so I can't exfoliate too often.
The recommended amout for dry skin is twice a week and three times a week in winter. Are you using an exfoliating cleanser as well? Maybe you should and use some kind of hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin from getting so dry.
