How many times a week is it best to use an exfoliator for my skin?
Lately, my skin has been a bit rough and my makeup looks cakey, so I'm thinking of trying an exfoliator. I'm wondering how often per week I should use it. I've heard that exfoliating too often can weaken the skin barrier, while not exfoliating at all can cause dead skin cells to build up, leading to breakouts or makeup smudging.
My skin isn't particularly sensitive, but it does get dry sometimes, so I'm wondering how to adjust the frequency.
I'm also wondering if a physical scrub would be better, or if peeling gels or toner-type exfoliators are gentler.
How often per week is it generally appropriate to exfoliate without irritating the skin while maintaining a smooth texture? It would be helpful if you could also share your recommended frequency or usage methods!
