Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and can leave your skin looking smoother and brighter. However, too much exfoliation can cause irritation.
For most skin types, exfoliating one to three times per week is sufficient. People with sensitive skin may need to exfoliate less frequently, while oily skin may tolerate more frequent exfoliation.
Choose gentle exfoliating products and always follow with a moisturizer to support your skin barrier.
The goal is healthy, comfortable skin—not redness or irritation.
