Exfoliating, help! how to exfoliate properly?

alrite, so i have acne prone skin, everyday i use a rough sponge to exfoliate the ingrown haird on my beard with clearasil ultra, i then use cold water to close the pores. on weekend when i shave i have a normal lukewarm shower, and then use st ives apricot scrub to exfoliate. afterwards i clean my face with cold water. i don't like those little grains from the scrub being left around on my face, coz when i try to use this light mosturizer, those little grains come in the way. any tips on how i can get over this problem? are there any steps which im doing wrong? i was thinkin of using clearasil after using the scrub, is this a good idea? please help!Exfoliating, help! how to exfoliate properly?
Are you exfoliating to prevent acne? Be careful not to use too much product, because that in and of itself could cause breakouts. I can't use St. Ives on my face cause it causes me to break out. You can use a deep action cleanser that has exfoliating beads in them (I know Neutrogena and other brands have products like this instead). Just be sure to rinse your face very thoroughly after using the apricot scrub to get thos flecks out. It's a good idea to use cold water to close the pores, but use very warm water intially when you are washing to open your pores and allow your soaps and cleansers to get into the pore and clean it first.





You can try biore products that are said to take away black heads (in grown hairs). Good idea to moisturize so that your skin doesn't get too dried out!
