The general recommendation is anywhere from one to three times per week. Exfoliating your face too much can expose the skin cells just beneath the surface too soon. This can lead to redness or irritation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few tips to help you exfoliate your skin as gently as possible:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply your exfoliating scrub in a gentle, circular motion all over your face, avoiding the very sensitive under-eye area, which should not be exfoliated.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There I no need to rub vigorously\u2013 just scrub gently.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re done gently scrubbing for about three to five minutes, gently rinse off and pat your skin dry.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow up by applying a deeply nourishing cream afterward.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is best to exfoliate in the morning, as the skin regenerates overnight.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid products that are harsh or abrasive.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always remove your makeup and cleanse your skin prior to exfoliating.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a chemical exfoliate if you have sensitive skin or don\u2019t want to rub your skin too much.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><b>What Is Chemical Exfoliation?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It sounds very harsh, but chemical exfoliation actually refers to a product that very gently melts away dead skin cells.
