How often should each skin type exfoliate?
The golden rule recommended by most dermatologists is two to three times a week to get clear skin, and never more than that. Also, remember to exfoliate gently depending on how abrasive the product is.
The frequency of exfoliation can vary according to your Face skin type:
Oily skin: This skin type needs more frequent exfoliation, at least two to three times a week, to remove the excessive sebum and dirt accumulated on the skin surface. Doing so will reduce the chances of clogged pores and pimple breakouts.
Dry skin: As dry skin tends to have a buildup of dead, flaky skin on the surface, exfoliating twice or three times a week is best. But remember to choose products that contain hydrating ingredients to avoid exacerbating the dryness.
Normal to combination skin types: Two to three times a week is ideal to keep the dead skin cells away without risking over-exfoliation.
Mature skin: Given that aging skin has a slower skin turnover rate, exfoliating two to three times a week can help in reducing the appearance of fine lines and dullness.
However, it’s also crucial to avoid over-exfoliation which could lead to skin thinning and speed up skin aging even more.
Sensitive skin: To prevent worsening skin sensitivity, exfoliating once a week is generally recommended for this skin type.
Also, choose exfoliating products that contain gentle ingredients such as plant-based enzymes and rice extract.
