Is Exfoliating/scrubbing the skin after cleansing good or bad?

I read and hear so many mixed reviews on the subject. Some say it is crucial to exfoliate at least twice a week to slough off dull, dead skin on the face, while others say it is torture for the skin. So which is it?

it is crucial to gently exfoliate at least once a week. don't be harsh, using a washcloth is considered exfoliation.





whatever you do don't use a crappy scrub from the drugstore. the scrubbies under a microscope look like shards of glass. spend money on either a gentle enzyme exfoliation if you don't want a scrub.Is Exfoliating/scrubbing the skin after cleansing good or bad?
2x a week is good enough to remove dead skin and any other toxins....use a loofah sponge and oatmeal soap is all you need...


happy scrubbing !!
If you exfoliate with a scrub, do so only TWICE A WEEK no more because you can harm the ph of the skin and therefore irritaated and ';torture'; it. HORRIBLE!!!! but do it if your clenaser doesn't contain AHA, if it does...then u dont need to
Yeah, don't scrub your face. The skin there is pretty delicate. There are plenty of very gentle exfoliants on the market, and I honestly wouldn't use one more than once a week.


Things like crushed nut shells or seed husks are way to rough. There are cleansers with tiny exfoliating beads and stuff like that - that'd be my choice.
