Exfoliating the face

[LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune]

Right I know exfoliating is a good thing for the face but how often? I see exfoliating face washes but surely doing it every day is too much for the skin?

any experts?

Gosh I exfoliate my face pretty much every day.

[BecauseImWorthIt]

I was advised by a Dermologica woman to do this, with one of their scrubs/creams, and it wrecked the skin on my face. I was all blotchy and sore - don't do it!

I do it twice a week with the Estee Lauder idealist scrub, wouldn't do it more as it's like a mini glycolic acid peel!

Well my daily face wash is exfoliating according to the label it just seems such a harsh thing to do to your face everyday.

[JANEITEPatrickNormanMcHennesy]

I use either the Olay regenerist daily wash thing, which is v mild. Or once a week with origins Modern Friction but have gone off this since using the Olay.

[PeterAndresSkidmarks]

Once a week.

I do it once or twice a week with Simple facial scrub. No blotchiness, very mild & gentle.

Take your cleanser off with flannel, has same effect but less harsh

Libras I am a beauty therapist and it would depend on your skin type but for most people 2-3 times a week is right.

i used to use a scrub but it gave me tiny red veins! avoid i'd say and use a flannel

[MadameCastafiore]

I use this is bloody brilliant and lots of people reckon my skin sooo doesn't liik my actual age - mind you if DH knew how much I spend on skincare he may prefer me have more wrinkles and us have more money in the bank!

Ren facial exfoliating. 2/3 times a week!!

Hello

I use Simple facial scrub twice a week. It seems quite gentle and definitely makes my skin softer and smoother

[Lilymaid]

I just use a tiny amount of Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish morning and night with a muslin cloth. Cleans face, removes make up and gently exfoliates.

i use the olay regenerist self heating one most days. i think you can use it daily if you want to but sometimes i can't be bothered!

i have been using it for a couple of years now and my skin looks pretty good!
